Pattaya Golf Guide 2026 – Courses, Fees & Booking Tips

Pattaya sits on Thailand’s eastern seaboard, offering approximately 30 courses within a 30 km radius. The mix of championship‑grade layouts, affordable municipal greens and resort‑style facilities draws both touring pros and weekend amateurs. For golfers who also want a taste of the city’s nightlife or beach scene, a single stay can cover multiple rounds without long travel times. The region’s reputation for high service standards—mandatory caddies are standard at most Pattaya courses—means you spend less time negotiating logistics and more time on the fairway.

The green‑fee calendar splits into two clear periods. Low‑season runs May through October; afternoon showers are common but rates stay at their base levels. Peak season stretches November to February, offering dry, cooler weather ideal for early‑morning rounds. All published rate windows remain valid through 31 Oct 2026, and Siam Country Club has locked flat visitor rates through April 2027, shielding you from the usual high‑season hikes that affect other clubs after November. It is advisable to reserve tee times well in advance, particularly on weekends and during the December–March high‑season period.

Thai courses traditionally break the price into three components: the green fee, a compulsory caddie charge and a golf‑cart (or buggy) fee. Many clubs publish an “all‑in” figure that bundles all three, which is what you will see in most rate tables. For example, Siam Country Club – Old Course lists an all‑in starting price of 4,440 THB per person; this includes the green fee, a mandatory caddie and an individual cart, with no cart‑sharing allowed. Where a course does not bundle, you will typically add 300–500 THB for the caddie; cart fees are often included in all‑in rates (see.

If your aim is to stay under 2,500 THB per round, several courses fit comfortably. Emerald Golf Club near Rayong offers a weekday all‑in price of 1,150 THB for a 15‑hole layout—ideal for beginners or those short on time. Mountain Shadow’s weekday fee sits at 1,250 THB, while Crystal Bay is slightly higher at 1,450 THB. Barcelona Valley Golf Club – Lake Course (formerly St Andrews 2000) starts at 2,050 THB all‑in, delivering a respectable parkland experience without the premium price tag. These venues typically include a caddie and cart, but you should confirm whether a buggy is mandatory.

For golfers seeking more challenging layouts without paying flagship rates, the mid‑range tier offers solid value. Laem Chabang International Country Club, a Jack Nicklaus‑designed 27‑hole complex, charges 2,600 THB low‑season and 3,800 THB high‑season; a buggy is required on this course. Khao Kheow Country Club’s rates run from 2,000 THB low‑season to 2,800 THB high‑season, with sport‑day specials of 1,750 THB on Mondays and Thursdays. Phoenix Gold Golf & Country Club lists an all‑in weekday price of 2,200 THB; its twilight 9‑hole package drops to 700 THB after 15:00 Monday–Thursday. Burapha Golf & Resort provides a steady 2,300 THB all‑in rate, while Pattana Sports Resort starts at 2,100 THB—all inclusive of caddie and cart.

At the top end, Siam Country Club’s flagship courses dominate. Waterside, Plantation and Rolling Hills each charge a weekday all‑in rate of 7,200 THB; the Old Course sits at 8,000 THB before tip. These figures already include the compulsory caddie (500 THB) and individual cart (1,000 THB). Chee Chan Golf Resort offers an all‑in starting price of 5,400 THB, with low‑season rates of 3,500 THB and high‑season at 4,800 THB. Pattaya Country Club and Phoenix Gold both list a base all‑in fee of 2,200 THB, but the championship experience comes from immaculate greens, extensive practice facilities and professional tournament hosting history. Standard caddie tip is cash 400–600 THB, always extra to the listed price.

Caddies are a cornerstone of Thai golf etiquette; they are mandatory at virtually all courses and typically carry your clubs, advise on club selection and maintain the pace of play. The standard caddie fee ranges from 300 to 500 THB per round and is paid directly to the caddie, separate from any bundled “all‑in” rate that already includes a compulsory charge (e.g., Siam Country Club’s 500 THB). Tipping is customary and expected—most visitors give cash of 400–600 THB at the end of the round. Always carry small bills to avoid making change issues.

Most Pattaya clubs accept online reservations through platforms such as GolfPattaya’s tee‑time selector (which shows dates 24–30 June 2026) or directly via the club’s website. For high‑demand periods—weekends in December, January and February—book at least two weeks ahead; a weekday reservation can often be secured with a day’s notice. When booking, confirm whether the quoted price is “all‑in” and whether a buggy is required; some clubs (e.g., Phoenix Gold) list separate buggy fees despite an all‑in rate. Have your passport number handy for foreign visitor registration, and be prepared to pay by cash or card on arrival. For transport, most visitors hire a private car or use ride‑hailing apps; the club’s contact phone is +66 (0)85 094 3444, open weekdays 08:30–16:00. Need help navigating Pattaya?

Courses that require a buggy (Phoenix Gold, Laem Chabang International, Eastern Star and Siam Country Club’s Waterside) list the buggy as part of their all‑in rates. If you prefer to bring your own cart, confirm the policy in advance; some clubs charge extra for external equipment. Travel times from central Pattaya vary; Siam Country Club is roughly 20 minutes away. Twilight packages, such as Phoenix Gold’s 9‑hole after‑16:00 rate of 500 THB, are ideal for a quick session after work. Always factor in traffic on weekends; the coastal highway can be congested during peak tourist periods.
