Located 30 minutes south of Bangkok, Siam Country Club Bangkok is the 5th addition of the Siam Country Club.  This masterpiece 18-hole championship, 7,250 yards, golf course is meticulously designed by Toby Cobb, design associate of the Coore and Crenshaw Design, who is responsible for numerous world-renowned golf courses, and built by Golf East Co., Ltd.

This unique golf course is distinct from many of those surrounding Bangkok’s golf courses.  Fairways are gentle with a soft rolling slope.  Unlike many around Bangkok, only four water holes come into play.  Many potted grass face bunkers are scattered throughout the course and are uniquely small but playable.  All turtle-back greens, ranging from 425 to 1,000 sqm, are tricky yet challenging.  Precision distancing and pin placement to the greens are crucial as the greens are fairly large.  Fantastic finishing 18th hole, facing the clubhouse’s restaurant, is a par 3 with 1,000 sqm green, and is one of a kind putting surface that seems impossible to miss.  But a careless shot left of the green could end up at the bottom of a small 3-meter deep potted bunker, humorously called the “Big Ass”, from which the escape is a real test. 

Like many of the Siam courses the course is fairly open, you won't find much rough or too many trees (not yet anyway). This particular Siam course has very little water too so the protection against great scores comes from the greens and cleverly placed bunkers.

Any careless shot left or right with the approach will result in a very difficult up and down. In some spots on the course even an up and 2 putts would be considered a result. The greens are the real test of golf after what are fairly generous fairways.
