Thongsomboon Club, Khao Yai

Golf enthusiasts venturing into Thailand’s mountain regions will discover an exceptional highland course at Thongsomboon Club. This championship golf facility takes advantage of Khao Yai’s naturally rolling terrain and cooler mountain climate, offering a refreshing alternative to Thailand’s coastal courses. The elevated location provides dramatic mountain vistas while challenging players with its thoughtfully designed layout that incorporates the area’s natural topography.

Players can expect a well-maintained 18-hole championship course that winds through Khao Yai’s scenic landscape, featuring strategic water hazards, elevated tees, and undulating greens that test golfers of all skill levels. The cooler mountain air makes for comfortable play even during midday rounds, while the surrounding forested hills create a serene backdrop. Beyond golf, the club typically offers practice facilities including driving ranges and putting greens, plus a clubhouse where you can relax after your round while enjoying views of the course and distant mountains.

Playing here feels like a retreat from Thailand’s busier tourist destinations, with the peaceful mountain setting creating an atmosphere of focused tranquility. The higher elevation and forest surroundings mean you’ll often hear birdsong between shots, and the absence of urban noise makes for a meditative golfing experience. Early morning rounds are particularly special when mist clings to the surrounding hills and the air carries the fresh scent of mountain vegetation.

Plan your visit during the cooler months from November to February for the most comfortable playing conditions, though the mountain elevation keeps temperatures pleasant year-round. The club is accessible by car from Bangkok via Highway 2, with the journey taking approximately 2.5 hours. Bring layers as mountain weather can change throughout the day, and consider booking tee times in advance during peak season. The combination of challenging golf, mountain scenery, and escape from Thailand’s heat makes this course a rewarding destination for serious golfers.
