Kanchanaburi is overrun with golf courses. Last count there were over 20 in the province.
The birdie hunters can choose from beautifully landscaped courses on the windy plain, not far from
Bangkok for a one-day game for golfers from the city,
or the cool, jungle-surrounded, hilly courses further out. For those who are staying
in Kanchanaburi, the four outstanding courses are :
Nichigo,
just out of town;
Home Phutoey, the most scenic course,
80 kms out on the highway to Sai Yoke Waterfalls;
Mission Hill club,
designed by Jack Nicklaus at Thamuang district, 30 kms out of town and
Evergreen Hills Golf Club.
Barrington Saiyoke is the golf course with 18 holes and located on the way
to Saiyoke from Kanchanaburi via the route 323. The 18 holes are laid out
on the hilly country at the foot of mountains and surrounded with the nature
of Kanchanaburi. Players are requested to hit accurate shots keeping on
fairways.
This testing layout is very manmade: most of the existing vegetation has been replaced.
The result is attractive with the course running adjacent to limestone cliffs, which loom
over the fairways. Early morning mists and towering hills give an almost European sensation
to play. Greens, fairways and bunkers are beautifully maintained and every hole has a
scenic backdrop. The Sports Club has its own tennis courts, swimming pool, polo club,
snooker, etc.
Hotel accommodations
are available.

The course is set in a valley between round-topped hills covered with jungle and
with fine views over crystal-clear lakes. From the standard men's tees the course
is not too long and provides a fair test of golf. Water comes into play on the 3rd,
4th and 6th holes on the outer nine and during the inner nine at the 15th, 16th and
17th. At the dog-leg 17th water encroaches on both sides of the fairway, making it a
difficult par four. The resort has its own
hotel,
land plots and other amenities, including a library. Very much a family type of club and
not overly expensive for a weekend stay.

The course is set in a beautiful countryside. Clever use of water hazards creates
an interesting test of golf. Fairways and greens are in excellent condition. Four
sets of tees make this 'garden' course very enjoyable for all classes of plays.
At the par-five 4th, 8th and 12th holes, water hazards severely penalize any errant
shots. View of the course from the club house are very pleasant and chalet style
accommodations are available. The resort even has its own landing strip, for those
who wish to pilot their own aircraft!.

This attractive course is almost surrounded by the River Kwai Noi. At the par-three first hole, the tee
shot has to be played over the river and player walk across a suspension bridge to the first green. The
course is relatively short and straight forward. Most of the holes are played away from the actual river,
but at the 13th, 14th and short 15th, the river runs along the left side of the fairway at each hole.
Facilities at the resort include a
hotel,
sports center, tennis courts and a swimming pool. Land plots and condominiums are available for those
interested.

Khao Laem Dam golf course is located on a small, mountainous area; it has 9 holes with a total distance
of 6,118 yards, which is rather short. There are 3 par-3 holes, 3 par-4 holes and 3 par-5 holes.
Difficulties stem from the par-3 holes, which are quite long, and the layout of the course.
There are hazards such as water, bunkers and trees on the fairways, in front of and behind the greens.
The fairways have some slope, thus a shot aimed for a green might not reach it and getting the ball on
a green is more difficult. The greens are rather small and a challenge,
which are common in mountainous courses. Being quite a tough course,
even professional golfers find it challenging.

This 27 hole course can only be reached by ferry! A delightful riverside setting provides the golfer with an
interesting challenge. Natural flora blends harmoniously with the surrounding tropical jungle. Long tee shots
are needed on many holes to clear chasms. During the first nine holes water comes into play on nearly every
hole and some shots are blind. The clubhouse sits atop a hill, from which the fairways slope away in various
directions. Accommodation can be found within easy reach of the golf course.

Set on a shallow hill, sloping away from the big timber-clad club house, the wide fairways are lined with
thousands of mature palms. There are some outstanding holes, over water and sand, including holes 3,11,12,
15,16 and 17. The course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and features his waste bunkers. Players can choose
from five well-spaced tees, according to their handicap. Luxurious
accommodations
are available at lake-side lodges. Booking is essential to play golf at Mission Hills.

A mountainous course that really challenges golfers, as its first 9 holes are in a valley and the
other 9 holes are on higher grounds. The course perfectly blends with its surroundings.
It is overlooking the Srinagarindra Dam lake. All amenities are available. The fairways stretch from
the shoulder of a mountain onto slanting lower grounds. The course was designed in a way that
preserves most of the original surroundings. This is a gathering place of the professional golfers
who really want to test their mettle.
