Played 18 holes last week and the total cost was 500 Baht. The course which is only 6 Kilometers from downtown was in fantastic condition and the greens true. We were not held up at any stage with 5 ball groups and there was nobody up our arse. Did not need to use a caddy as we were able to pull our own bags. It was also nice to be able to head to the clubhouse after the game for a few beers.
Ahhh it is nice to be back in Perth, Australia . . . . . .

Out our way, for August and September they reduced the green fee to 560B on weekdays, that was at Thanont Golf View. Beginning of October they've gone back to regular rates of non sport days being 760B green fee. While they had the reduced green fee, the course was empty. And now in October, it is still empty on week day. Was out there on Friday 3rd, in the space of 1 hour, 3 groups teed off, 1 group was a 6 ball. Nobody came up behind us except a 2 ball in carts who were hole jumpers.

If he buys a green valley membership say 100,000 after the initial outlay then it would work out only 100 baht more to play than century.i know 100,000 is not small money but he can resell after 2,3,4,5,6, up to him? But some people don’t want to listen!! #31

We were 4 guys playing Mission Hills in Kanchanaburi 10 days ago. Good course, nice staff, 850 baht incl caddiefee.
We saw one other group, they were on 16 when we left 17. Then we played Nichigo 27 holes for same money the day after. A very good golfcourse. Almost no people. On our way down there, coming from Chiang Rai, we played the EGAT-course in Bhumipul dam. Paid around 850 for a good golfcourse incl caddie. Going home we stayed and played Alpine and Highlands, 1050 baht each incl caddie. Both are very, very good golfcourses. The only bad thing was caddies at Alpine, donīt know why but all four was ladies close to the 50 and did not have a clue about what they were doing. So we were happy golfers playing good colfcourses in Thailand for small money.

I went to play Chuan Cheun yesterday and upon arrival at 9.30am was told that there were no caddies available until 11am. I've never encountered this problem before playing golf in Thailand. Usually at most clubs there are an abundance of caddies waiting around. It appeared that most of them had gone back home and the management didn't bother looking for replacements.
Anyway, we didn't wait around as there were several other groups in front of us. Ended up making the short drive over to Muang Ake Vista and managed to play a round there. Edited by Spit the Dog, 2009-12-31 08:54:02. |
