Golf is a popular sport in Asia and Thailand has some of the best golf courses in the world, many of them designed by the top players of Golf, Nick Faldo, Nick Laus and Greg Norman. Even Tiger Woods is Half Thai! Thailand has around 200 golf courses and there are new ones being designed all the time.
It has become one of the best places in Asia to go for a Golfing holiday with new perfectly kept Golf courses offering top of the range facilities, from hotels, restaurants, bars, sauna and massage and fully equipped pro-shops.
Thailand is the perfect place for a golfing holiday as some of the best courses are found on the luxurious island of Phuket, against a mountain backdrop in Chiang Mai or near the wild nightlife of Pattaya, so when you're not playing golf there are plenty of other ways to entertain yourself.
Cost is another factor that comes into play, the green fees, hiring of equipment and the caddies are relatively cheap, and it’s within anybody’s price range, so all can try their hand on these top Golf courses. Thailand in keeping with it's tradition of beautiful women and service, always provides female caddies; they are well informed, very helpful and will support their player though to the end. Anybody that has tried a Golfing holiday in Thailand will tell you the caddies are a highlight of the whole experience.
The weather year round is excellent as well, and even during the rainy season the downpours never last long enough to ruin a day's golf, just temporarily delay it, and Golf’s clubs and resorts always provide a good bar or restaurant that will accommodate you perfectly at this time. Try to avoid playing Golf midday though as sometimes it can get a little too hot, morning or late afternoon will be more comfortable.
Golf courses are most abundant in Phuket, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Hua Hin and Kanchanaburi, and wherever you play you’ll have the magnificent backdrops of either the sea or the mountains, and with top class facilities and low prices to match, golfing in Thailand is a truly memorable experience.
