Pinehurst Golf Club & Hotel

We played the South for the first nine, with water and bunkers making it scenic and challenging. The North was the second nine, shorter and flatter, and not quite as nice. It was all in excellent condition, and the caddies were good. You can take a buggy or walk. One of Bangkok's older courses, and worth a visit. I'd go back.

Thailand is amazing, and we still found ways to have fun, but this club left us very disappointed. I wouldn't return or recommend it. If you don't speak Thai, getting around the club is difficult. The website says collared shirts are allowed, but on arrival we were told ours weren't acceptable and had to rent different ones. The carts were in poor shape, and the rental club sets were missing clubs, including a rescue and a 5-wood. Choosing caddies was awkward and embarrassing for our group because some declined to work with us. During the round, they mostly urged us to drink instead of helping with the game.

My first time golfing in Thailand was a blast. It was also my first round with a caddy and my first one at night. We got rained on, but the course held up really well. If you're looking to play golf and have a good time, I highly recommend it.

It's an affordable course where you can usually walk on without a tee time. The food choices are good, and the course sits in the middle for difficulty, neither too hard nor too easy. A few greens were inconsistent, but at this price I can't complain. Caddies are hit or miss, though Smile is probably one of the best there. I didn't stay at the hotel. It looked old, dated, and scary.
