Bangpra Golf Club - A Classic Thai Golf Course with Wildlife, History, and Challenge

Bangpra Golf Club – Jungle Vibes, Fast Greens, and Thai Golf Heritage 🌿

Set just outside Sri Racha and only about 45 minutes from Pattaya, Bangpra Golf Club Thailand is one of Thailand’s oldest and most character-rich courses. Originally developed in the 1950s and later redesigned in collaboration with Japanese architects, it offers a unique blend of mature parkland design, wildlife encounters, and fast, tricky greens that demand focus and finesse. For golfers who want an authentic Thai golf experience with traditional elements and natural beauty, Bangpra is a must. It’s not the flashiest course, but for many seasoned players and local golf lovers, it’s one of the most memorable.

🌳 A Classic Layout with Natural Strategy

Rather than relying on dramatic elevation or ultra-modern features, Bangpra tests golfers with placement golf. Expect narrow tree-lined fairways, well-positioned bunkers, and greens that are among the fastest in Thailand. These aren’t flat putting surfaces—they’re sloped, quick, and will penalize any careless approach.

Several holes require precise tee shots to set up manageable second shots, especially on doglegs flanked by large trees or water hazards. Some greens are elevated or guarded by bunkers, and almost all slope back to front. Course knowledge and distance control are key. The course is set within a lush, jungle-like landscape and feels naturally integrated into the terrain. Its understated, peaceful layout contrasts beautifully with the lively atmosphere of Pattaya, making it a perfect day trip.

🦊 Monkeys, Mist, and Morning Rounds

One of the charming and quirky features of Bangpra is its resident monkey population. Often seen lounging near tee boxes or even straying onto greens, the monkeys are harmless but entertaining. They’ve become something of a symbol for the course and are part of what gives Bangpra its memorable identity. Early morning tee times are particularly atmospheric here. The jungle mist still hangs over the trees, birds chirp, and the sunlight begins to filter through the dense vegetation. It’s a peaceful, old-school golf experience that stands in contrast to more modern resort-style layouts.

⛪ Facilities and Atmosphere

Bangpra’s clubhouse facilities are traditional and straightforward, offering what you need without excess. You’ll find:

  • ☕ A simple but tasty restaurant serving local Thai dishes
  • 🏦 Locker rooms and shower facilities
  • 🏍️ A driving range and putting area for warm-up
  • 🎒 Pro shop with a modest but useful selection of essentials

While not overly luxurious, the charm lies in the authenticity. It’s a course where locals play regularly, and many expat golfers in the region have made it their home track.

🚗 Transfers, Walking, and Booking Details

Bangpra is approximately 45 minutes from Pattaya, depending on traffic. It’s also accessible from the Sri Racha area, making it an easy trip for travelers staying outside the main tourist zones. Caddies are mandatory and included in all Fairways of Eden bookings. Their experience here is especially helpful, as they know every slope, roll, and monkey hotspot. Carts are typically included, and while the course can technically be walked, the humidity and spread-out layout make walking less enjoyable for most. Transfers are not included by default, but we’ll happily organize round-trip transport from anywhere in Pattaya or Sri Racha for your convenience.
