Khao Yai - Bangkok (2-Destination) Golf Package

Toscana Valley is a challenging course located in a deep valley of the world heritage site of Khao Yai National Park.  An excellent setting for a golf club, Toscana Valley compliments the Khao Yai backdrop and, save for the palm trees, resembles the environment of Tuscany Italy.

Kirimaya Golf Resort & Spa, formerly The Country Club Khao Yai, is set within natural surroundings with panoramic views of the Khao Yai National Park. Kirimaya is best quality golf resort in the Khao Yai area and one of the most natural courses anywhere in Thailand. The Khao Yai golf course is described by the Nicklaus design team, to be one of their 3 best in Asia.

The backdrop of wooded hills and lush jungle provides a wonderful glimpse of Thailand's countryside that you will not see in and around the Bangkok metropolis. Should you journey out to the Khao Yai region you'll also experience cooler breezes and less humidity than in the city. Nicklaus's excellent, well-maintained; out-and-back layout blends effortlessly with its gently undulating surroundings, producing one memorable hole after another. Beyond the good-width fairways and light semi-rough lies thick impenetrable vegetation, so some tee-shots feel dauntingly tight during your first round here. On a second or third visit you'll begin to discover where the space is, and where it isn't.

Wetland areas boldly intrude across some fairways and also protect the front of several greens. Small lakes and lily covered ponds further enhance the naturalness of this layout, and all the while the jungle-clad Khao Yai hills look down onto the course.

The signature par-4 16th, which doglegs left-to-right past a large tree and down to a water-protected green, must be one of the most beautiful holes Nicklaus has ever fashioned, although surely nature played the biggest part in its creation. Here is a layout where you can feel at one with the beautiful countryside of Khao Yai, forget the trials and tribulations of the modern world, and concentrate on one of Nicklaus's best and toughest Asian challenges.

Another excellent hole is beautiful the par-5 3rd. The key here is to avoid the water on the left side of the fairway. Once past the hazard a small pond protecting this otherwise small green must be successfully negotiated. However, three good shots on in regulation is rewards the golfer with a birdy opportunity or sure par.

Nine holes out, and nine holes in, golfers will struggle to see another group as the holes weave their way around the hills of Khao Yai. With five sets of tees golfers of all abilities can enjoy the layout at Kirimaya.

The attached 5-star Kirimaya Golf Resort is the best in Khao Yai and includes unique tented villas for guest accommodations, personalized butler and chef services, and full service luxury spa. Kirimaya is as good as it gets in Thailand golf resorts. The Khao Yai golf course and resort continues to draw avid Thai and foreign golfers in need of a unique and unforgettable total golf resort experience.
For anyone visiting Thailand and has the time to either travel from Bangkok for a long, but excellent, day's golf, or can spend a few days in the superb mountain and golf destination of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Khao Yai National Park, then Khao Yai will not disappoint.

Mountain Creek Golf Resort and Residence is a 27 hole golf course located past the Khao Yai National Park. Thailand’s only Seve Ballesteros designed golf course is spread out over three nine holes loops, each of which has been named to follow their natural environments: Highlands, Creek, and Valley. The former world No.1 and winner of five majors designed the Creek and Valley Courses to be the most interesting of the three loops, while the Highlands Course plays relatively flat.

The Mountain Creek golf course demands a combination of power, accuracy, and concentration.  Hazards are strategically positioned throughout the Khao Yai golf course to lure in shots from every angle. Dense jungle frames many of the holes forcing you to keep the ball down the center else face a costly penalty.  Holes play to various distances from a short 330 yard par-4 to a monster 550 yard par-5. As a result, expect to use every club in your bag. The course is also quite penal around the greens, many severely undulated. Hit to the wrong side of the hole, and a three-putt is almost guaranteed.

Off course facilities are good including practice areas, pro shop, and locker rooms. The expansive clubhouse forms a center point of the golf club as all three nines start and finish from this point.  A small resort with other sports and spa facilities is also part of Mountain Creek. Thailand’s Mountain Creek at just 200 kilometers northeast of Bangkok is a good choice for those looking for a very challenging day out golfing in Khao Yai.

Rancho Charnvee is an 18-hole layout in the Khao Yai National Park area. The rather flat Bob McFarland resort course is fun to play and caters to golfers of all abilities and as with other Khao Yai golf courses, views from the course are often stunning. 

The golf course has more room off the tees and larger more receptive greens than other Khao Yai golf courses. The front nine plays around a country farm house. The back nine stretches around a flat piece of land with a nice backdrop of hills and mountains. Although the course may be a little more open in its tightness, the presence of excellent bunkering throughout ensures that course management cannot afford to be too relaxed. Rancho Charnvee is long and challenging off any of the three tee boxes with many water carries and out-of-bounds.

The first hole requires a solid drive over a large lake and is not for the easily intimidated. It plays uphill and fairway narrows to smallish green. The very long par-3 4th hole is another of several holes that will challenge even the most accomplished scratch golfers.

The clubhouse sits in front of a small lake. There is no driving range but the changing rooms and kiosks are first rate and the restaurant serves good food. This combined with well-trained staff and well-maintained course conditions will insure that golfers in Khao Yai will enjoy playing at Rancho Charnvee.

The RG City Golf Club is a modern golf destination designed to provide an exceptional playing experience for golfers of all skill levels. Located in a convenient setting with easy access from the city, this well-maintained golf course offers a blend of natural beauty, strategic layouts, and world-class facilities that make it a must-visit for passionate golfers.

Bangkok Golf Club is located only 35 minutes from the center of town and is one of a handful of golf courses in the area and built in the 1990s. The club was the site for numerous professional events including the Asian Tour's Volvo Masters in 2003.  The golf course, however, succumbed to massive flooding in 2011 which required all greens to be re-built and many of the older tees to be cut down. As a result, a friendlier course re-emerged in 2012. Nowadays the golf course is managed by an experienced team and conditions are top-notch.
