Pattaya Golf Societies Driving Ranges Pattaya Golf Courses A-Z Golf Tours, Holidays, Links

Golf has probably become the most popular waste of time for a large number of expats, tourists and Thais alike, and has emerged as a typical specialty of the Eastern seaboard.
Pattaya, Chonburi and Rayong, as well as other nearby provinces along the east coast, feature more than 20 of Thailand's finest golf courses in tropically evergreen landscapes, most of which can be found within a 60-minutes driving distance from Pattaya's city centre.
Many of Pattaya's golf courses have been designed by some of the world's most famous names in golf course design - such as Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Nick Faldo, or other world-class golf course architects.
Wheareas in many Western countries golf is still deemed an elitist sport for exclusively the rich, and club membership fees are too costly to make it affordable for the average working man, golf in Pattaya is not just affordable for any Western visitor - it's cheap.
Green fees from less than 500 Baht and usually not exceeding 3000 Baht, also explain the ever-
increasing popularity golf enjoys in Thailand's growing middle and upper class.
Due to the constantly warm tropical climate with a never-ending golf season all through the year, and an influx of thousands of golf-crazy expats, golf has become the most popular leisure activity here at the Eastern Seaboard. A quick glance at the sports pages in Pattaya's English-language papers, will quickly give you an impression of how BIG golf actually is in Pattaya's multi-national expat community.
If you don't have your own vehicle, there are many specialized tour agencies that offer regular golf tours and vacation packages. And for those visitors to Pattaya who are less experienced players, or just feel like fine-tuning their swing, there are several driving ranges right within city limits.

Pattaya Golf Societies

It's a non-profit organisation and 'member club' offering membership to all players, regardless of handicap, race or gender. IPGC offers weekly scheduled competitions and "major" tournaments. Competitions are held 6 days a week. IPGC negotiates with local clubs, on behalf of its member societies, to achieve the best discount rates for competition green fees and offers advice when necessary. The following golf societies currently comprise the IPGC.
Pattaya Golf Society (PGS)
Pattaya's first formalised golf group, the Pattaya Golf Society, plays competition golf three times a week from its new clubhouse - Rabbi's Elephant Bar on Soi Buakao - on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
