The Khao Kheow 27-hole golf course is located in the heart of the Pattaya golf corridor on the way to Bangkok and the Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Like so many of the Eastern Seaboard’s courses,  Khao Kheow Country Club is set in a valley between 2 hills and strong sea breezes are prevalent most afternoons. The course plays quite long and the elevation changes between holes is a welcome differentiating point compared to the other flatter courses in the surrounding area.

In typical Pete Dye design fashion, careful shot making is required to overcome not only the windy conditions but also to take into account the numerous large ponds, bunkers and hills that surround the well-manicured fairways. Greens are heavily undulating which makes precise putting a key to scoring well. Special emphasis on green maintenance insures year-round good putting conditions, which helps Khao Kheow Country Club stand out from the other Pattaya golf courses. The course really has something for everyone. In particular, the signature par-three seventeen, which plays to an island green will make both amateurs and professionals fell like they are golfing at TPCC Sawgrass.

The first 18 have been designed as a championship course and have been renovated in 2013. The final 9 holes are easier, more like a resort course.

Playing all 27 holes is a good option for those who would like to enjoy the variety of holes, elevations, and settings.
