Muang Kaew offers a challenging and extremely well-maintained 18 hole golf course quietly tucked away from the hustle and bustle, but still only 20 minutes from downtown Bangkok right by the Bangna-Trad highway.

Muang Kaew offers facilities like a bar and restaurant overlooking the golf course, an excellent pro-shop, spacious changing rooms, two putting greens and a pitching area.

Muang Kaew Golf which is the sister course to Chiang Mai Highlands in Northern Thailand is designed by Lee Schmidt, who has been described as one of the best architects by Golf Digest.

The course seems to get better and better for each hole and the last nine offer many different types of holes with “risk & reward”, where you can be rewarded for taking chances. For example, on the 13th hole – a par 5 go for green in two. After a blind drive, it requires you to hit over a large and intimidating water hazard. Even those not hitting quite as far will have the opportunity to go for the green as long as you can carry about 140 meters over the water.

The 18th hole is a tricky one. It is a par 5 with a well hidden lake ready to attract all the wayward shots intended for the green.

The clubhouse serves some of the best Western food in Bangkok and the pro-shop has a great selection of golf apparel for men and women. The only drawback is the lack of driving range, the noise from the traffic on the 12th and 13th hole and the clubhouse in much need of an upgrade.

It does not change the fact, that Muang Kaew is a really good Bangkok course and an ideal choice for a round of golf in Bangkok.
