We played Thana City today since they have a special on Mondays. Being back in Bangkok meant that the course was very crowded. Since on Neil and Bruce played, they put another golfer with us, he was a very nice Japanese restaurant owner named Koji. The resort was a gated community and had the best […]
Kirimaya Golf Resort
We are now in Pak Chong, which is about 2 hours East of Bangkok. This town is a huge holiday destination for Thai people and have many tourist themed parks. We couldn’t really find much we wanted to do here, except play golf and use it as a staging point between golf games and Bruce’s […]
Mountain Creek Golf Club
We left Korat this morning and travelled to Pak Chong. This is only a 1hour 40 minute drive so we stopped at Mountain Creek Golf Club on the way. The people we met at Korat Golf Club weren’t very impressed with this golf course, but their main complaint was the beer prices, so we weren’t […]
Korat Country Club
We had a game booked at Rooks Khorat Golf Club (note the spelling of Khorat varies, so both are acceptable). I read some reviews yesterday and they were not good. I looked at the map on Hole 19 (great program if you don’t already use it) and the course looked dubious. We drove down the […]
Singha Park Golf Club – Khon Kaen
A 20 minute drive from our hotel took us to SPGC. This is a course owned by Singha Brewery, which is situated next door. Rosie wasn’t feeling too well, she never copes with constant air-conditioning well and had a bit of a head cold and fever. She stayed home and slept all morning. Debbie decided […]
Golf at Lake View GC – Vientiane
We played Lake View twice, mainly since they are the only ones who responded to enquiries. We all agree that playing the same course twice is actually a good idea since you can plan out the second round better. The course is in very good condition and the facilities are excellent. They had a large […]
Luang Prabang Golf Club 2
We played again at this course today and our scores improved as you would expect. It was nice to be able to plan your golf game a bit better. Our caddies were still pretty useless, not understanding any English and not really giving good information on the greens. They were busier today and ran out […]
Luang Prabang Golf Club 1
We left Bangkok on Wednesday and flew AirAsia to Luang Prabang. Had a couple of problems at checkin when they didn’t recognise our golf clubs as a piece of luggage, thought it was special sports equipment, but all was solved in the end. It was a nice flight and everything else went well, entry to […]
Suwan Golf Club
We arrived in Bangkok around 11:30pm so didn’t do much except go to bed. Up early the next morning for breakfast and to catch up with Deb and Neil (our NSW friends that Bruce spent a year with in British Columbia in 1991). After breakfast we went off to Suwan Golf Club. This was about […]
Mission Hills GC Last day in Phuket
After a pleasant late breakfast we left for golf at Mission Hills for 11am game. It was expected to rain all day and we were the last group to hit off. We were met by a young trainee learning English and she showed us where to go, took us to the locker room and escorted […]
