Golf Courses in Bangkok: 30 Courses, Green Fees & Tee Times (2026)

You can play 18 holes on a Robert Trent Jones Jr. course in Bangkok for $96. A Nick Faldo design for $107. The course where Tiger Woods won by 10 shots for $182. And if none of that matters and you just want to play, green fees start at $39 — less than a decent dinner in Sukhumvit — with a caddy on every round.

Bangkok has 30 golf courses bookable online, more than most countries have in total. The problem isn’t finding a course. It’s choosing from 30 options without losing your mind comparing prices in Thai baht across half a dozen booking sites. This guide cuts through it: every bookable course, real prices in dollars, and what your money actually gets you.

All prices are in USD, pulled from live booking listings as of March 2026, and are subject to change. Weekend surcharges apply at most clubs — we flag those below.

When to Play: Bangkok’s Golf Seasons

Bangkok’s weather doesn’t have four neat seasons — it has three, and two of them are perfectly good for golf if you know what you’re doing.

Dry season (November – February) is when most visitors play. Temperatures sit between 22–32°C, skies are clear, and the courses are in peak condition. This is also high season for tourism, so book 2–3 weeks ahead and expect to pay full green fees. One thing to watch: burning season can push PM2.5 levels up from December through February, especially in the mornings. If the haze looks thick, tee off later or check the forecast before heading out.

Hot season (March – May) is exactly what it sounds like. Temperatures hit 35–40°C, and April is the worst of it. Playable if you tee off at dawn and finish by 11, but not for everyone. Prices are moderate and courses are less crowded — a fair trade if you handle heat well.

Wet season (June – October) is where most guides tell you to stay home. Here’s the thing: morning golf is almost always fine. Bangkok’s rain follows a reliable pattern — clear mornings, storms rolling in between 2–5 PM, then draining fast (most courses recover in 30–60 minutes). The conditions are lush and green, the courses are empty, and green fees drop 40–50%. If you’re flexible on timing, wet season is the best value in Asian golf, full stop.

Dates to avoid: Songkran (Thai New Year, April 13–15) — everything shuts down. Western New Year and Christmas weeks see higher prices at premium clubs.

Bangkok Golf Courses You Can Book Online

Thirty courses is a lot. Rather than giving every one of them the full treatment, here’s how this works: we’ve organized everything by price tier, highlighted the standouts that are worth going out of your way for, and kept the rest honest — name, price, what makes it different. Every course below is bookable online with confirmed pricing.

Under $75: Solid Golf, Ridiculous Prices

This is the tier that makes Bangkok special. You’re not getting championship conditioning or designer pedigree, but you’re getting 18 holes, a caddy, and a cart for less than a green fee at your local muni back home.

Legacy Golf Club — $39
The cheapest bookable round in Bangkok. A legit 7,037 yards — this isn’t a pitch-and-putt. About 30 minutes from the airport. If you just want to swing the clubs without overthinking it, Legacy delivers at a price that’s almost comical.

Subhapruek Golf Club — $50
The best budget option close to the city (31 km from BKK). Clean layout, reasonable conditioning, and you’re back in Bangkok for lunch. A good warm-up round if you’re playing a premium course the next day.

Northern Rangsit Golf Club — $56
Near Don Mueang Airport — useful if you’re flying domestic or on a budget carrier. Straightforward parkland golf at a fair price.

Bangkok Golf Club — $61
The one budget course with a genuine claim to fame: the par-3 9th hole was named one of Golf Magazine’s Top 500 Holes in the World. Night golf available here too, if that matters. Worth the drive for the curiosity factor alone.

Lakewood Country Club — $69
The closest course to downtown Bangkok at just 23 km. Over 2,000 mature trees line the fairways — an unusually green, shaded course for a city that can feel relentlessly hot. Good for a quick weekday round when you don’t want to spend an hour in traffic.

Also worth a look in this tier: Sky Valley CC ($41, package includes transfer), Ekachai G&CC ($56), Uniland G&CC ($58, established 1968), Watermill Golf & Gardens ($58), and Best Ocean Golf Club ($67).

$75 – $130: The Sweet Spot

This is where most visiting golfers should focus. Better conditioning, actual design pedigree at a few courses, and prices that still feel like a steal by international standards.

Bangpoo Golf & Sports — $91
The only Arnold Palmer design in Bangkok. “The King” put his name on over 300 courses worldwide, and this one sits just 29 km from the airport. A parkland layout that’s well-maintained and carries the Palmer signature: strategic but fair, with enough risk-reward to keep things interesting.

Green Valley Country Club — $96
A Robert Trent Jones Jr. course for under a hundred dollars. Let that sink in. RTJ Jr. has designed over 250 courses globally, and Green Valley delivers on that pedigree with a proper championship layout at 7,051 yards. Just 21 km from Suvarnabhumi Airport — close enough for a morning round before an evening flight.

Summit Windmill Golf Club — $107
The Swiss Army knife of Bangkok golf. Designed by Sir Nick Faldo (six majors, three Masters, three Open Championships), located just 15 minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport, and connected to a Le Méridien resort if you want to stay on-site. Night golf available. At 6,964 yards with genuine Faldo design thinking — firm, strategic, demanding precision over power — this is arguably the best overall value on the list when you factor in quality, convenience, and pedigree. If you only play one course in Bangkok, this is the sensible choice.

Riverdale Golf & Country Club — $109
A modern design with transfer included in the price — a nice touch that effectively brings the all-in cost down. Clean conditioning, good facilities, and a course that won’t embarrass itself next to the bigger names.

Bangkok Phoenix Gold Golf Club — $123
36 holes designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., routed through former rice paddies with water features and wildlife that give the course a character most Bangkok layouts can’t match. Two full RTJ Jr. courses at this price? That’s a full day of golf for what one round costs in most Western cities.

Also in this range: The Pine Golf Club ($73, pine-lined fairways — unusual for tropical Bangkok), Thanya Golf Club ($75), Royal Lakeside GC ($81), Cascata Golf Club ($84), The Royal Golf & Country Club ($94, 7,200+ yards, close to airport), Windsor Park & Golf Club ($101), Flora Ville G&CC ($105), and Suwan G&CC ($105, farther out but exceptional quality).

Over $130: Tournament-Grade Golf

These are the courses where you’re paying for something extra — a designer with a trophy case, a tournament history worth mentioning, or a concept that doesn’t exist anywhere else.

Royal Gem City Golf Club — $172
Designed by Garry Roger Baird (USGA member, LPGA venue designer), Royal Gem’s signature concept is its replica holes — recreations of famous holes from iconic courses around the world. Par 71, 6,629 yards. Whether the replicas fully deliver is debatable, but the ambition alone makes it distinctive.

Thai Country Club — $182
This is the emotional centerpiece of Bangkok golf. In 1997, a 21-year-old Tiger Woods won the Asian Honda Classic here by 10 shots at 20-under par — a demolition that foreshadowed what was coming at Augusta two months later. Designed by Denis Griffiths (President of the American Society of Golf Course Architects), Thai Country Club is consistently ranked in Asia’s top 5, and its caddies are widely regarded as the best in Thailand.

At 7,157 yards, the course rewards accuracy and course management. The conditioning is immaculate. You can play where Tiger played — and the green fee is less than what you’d pay at most resort courses in the US.

Nikanti Golf Club — $188
The most unusual course in Bangkok, and possibly the most unusual bookable course in Asia. Designed by Thai architect Pirapon Namatra, Nikanti is all-inclusive — green fee, caddy, cart, food, drinks, and practice facilities are all bundled in. The course runs a unique 6-6-6 loop format (three loops of six holes each) instead of the traditional front nine/back nine, which means you can play 6, 12, or 18 holes without ever feeling like you stopped mid-round. First of its kind in Asia.

Navatanee Golf Course — $208
Bangkok’s most historically significant course. Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed Navatanee for the 1975 World Cup of Golf — the first time an international championship-caliber course was built in Thailand, effectively launching the country’s golf industry. Golf Digest rates it as the best in Bangkok. At 6,902 yards and just 16 km from the city center, it’s also one of the most accessible premium options.

Siam Country Club Bangkok — $212
The newest course on this list (opened 2021) and the top of the price range. Designed by Toby Cobb, a protégé of both Tom Doak and the Coore & Crenshaw team — names that matter deeply to architecture-minded golfers. The Siam brand carries serious weight in Thai golf (their Pattaya courses are legendary). Zoysia and Bermuda playing surfaces, modern design philosophy, and the kind of conditioning you’d expect from the most expensive round in Bangkok.

Play on Your Way to the Airport

Bangkok is one of the few cities where squeezing in a round before your flight is genuinely practical. These courses are close enough to Suvarnabhumi Airport that you can play 18 and still make an afternoon departure.

Summit Windmill Golf Club — 15 km from BKK (~15 min). Faldo design, Le Méridien on-site. The obvious choice.

Navatanee Golf Course — 16 km from BKK (~20 min). RTJ Jr. design, Golf Digest’s best in Bangkok.

The Royal Golf & Country Club — 20 km from BKK (~26 min). 7,200+ yards, solid value at $94.

Green Valley Country Club — 21 km from BKK. RTJ Jr. for $96 — hard to argue with.

Tee off at 6 AM, finish by 10:30, shower at the clubhouse, and you’re at the airport by noon. It works.

Other Notable Bangkok Courses

A few courses that appear in searches but aren’t bookable through online booking platforms: Kantarat Golf Course is a military-owned course (Royal Thai Air Force) that’s popular with locals but not publicly bookable online. Alpine Golf Club, a Schmidt-Curley design that’s hosted multiple championship events, and Thana City Golf Club — the only Greg Norman design in Thailand — are both worth knowing about but require direct contact. Bangkok has over 50 courses in total; the 30 in this guide are the ones you can book with confirmed pricing.

What Your Green Fee Covers (and What Doesn’t)

Bangkok’s green fee packages are straightforward, but the pricing structure has a few quirks worth understanding before you book.

Almost always included: green fee for 18 holes, caddy, and golf cart. This is standard across Bangkok — you’re not going to get surprised by a separate caddy fee at checkout on most courses.

The weekend catch: Most Bangkok courses add a surcharge of THB 1,000–2,500 ($28–70) on weekends and holidays. This isn’t hidden — it’ll show up at booking — but it can push a $60 weekday round to $100+ on Saturday. If your schedule allows, weekday golf is where the real value lives.

Extras that add up: Rental clubs run $15–40 per round (quality is generally better than what you’ll find in China). Driving range balls, food, and drinks are separate at most courses, with the notable exception of Nikanti ($188), where everything is all-inclusive. Transport from central Bangkok is $14–42 each way by taxi or Grab, depending on distance — factor this in when comparing a $39 course that’s 95 km away versus a $69 course that’s 23 km away.

The Caddy Experience

This deserves its own mention because Thailand’s caddy culture is genuinely one of the best reasons to play golf here — and it’s unlike anything you’ll encounter in China, Japan, or most of Southeast Asia.

Thai golf caddies are almost exclusively women, experienced, and skilled. They’ll read your putts, suggest clubs based on how you’ve been hitting, track your ball better than you can, and do it all with a warmth and good humor that makes the round more enjoyable. You don’t get to choose your caddy — the club assigns one — and you won’t want to trade.

Tipping is expected: THB 300–500 ($8–14) in cash at the end of the round. For a caddy who made a genuine difference to your score — read a breaking putt you’d have missed, found your ball in deep rough, kept you from making a club selection mistake — the higher end is more than fair.

Many golfers who’ve played in Thailand will tell you the caddy experience alone is worth the trip. They’re not wrong.

Before You Book: Practical Tips

Getting there: Taxi or Grab from central Bangkok. Budget THB 500–1,500 ($14–42) each way depending on distance. Traffic is real — a course that’s 30 km away might take 25 minutes at 6 AM or 90 minutes at 5 PM. Some courses (Sky Valley, Riverdale) include transfers in the green fee, which simplifies things.

When to book: Weekdays are cheaper, less crowded, and faster. Premium courses in peak season (November–February) should be booked 1–2 weeks ahead. Budget courses rarely need more than a day or two.

Dress code: Standard golf attire — collared shirt, golf shoes, no jeans. Enforcement is looser at budget courses than at clubs like Thai Country Club or Siam CC, but come prepared regardless.

Wet weather strategy: If you’re playing in wet season, book morning tee times (before 7 AM). Rain typically arrives after 2 PM and passes quickly. Courses drain fast — Bangkok is flat and the drainage infrastructure at most clubs is designed for exactly this. Don’t cancel a morning round because the forecast shows afternoon rain.

Two airports: Suvarnabhumi (BKK) handles most international flights. Don Mueang (DMK) is the hub for budget carriers and domestic routes. Northern Rangsit GC ($56) is the closest course to Don Mueang; Summit Windmill ($107) is closest to Suvarnabhumi.

After your round: Bangkok’s post-round culture is excellent. Clubhouse food is typically good and cheap. And unlike Beijing or Shanghai, you’re never far from a street food market, a rooftop bar, or a Thai massage that costs less than a sleeve of Pro V1s.
