🏌️‍♂️ Championship Design Meets Resort Convenience

Burapha’s layout consists of four distinct 9-hole loops, known as A (East), B (West), C (South), and D (North). These can be combined to form two different 18-hole rounds, each with its own identity. The A+B combination, often referred to as the East Course, is the more forgiving of the two. It’s perfect for those seeking a stress-free round with wide fairways, gentle bunkering, and fewer forced carries. The layout emphasizes playability and enjoyment—ideal for social golf, beginners, or mixed-skill groups. In contrast, the C+D combination, also known as the West Course, is the tournament setup. This layout brings the challenge, with longer carries, elevated greens, narrower landing zones, and more pronounced hazards. It’s where many prestigious events have been held, and it’s the preferred choice for experienced golfers looking to test their game.

The course was originally designed by Americans Gary Panks and David Graham, and the influence of international championship golf design is clearly visible. Fairways are generous on most holes but undulate with subtle breaks, and greens are well-guarded by bunkers and water hazards. Even seasoned players will need thoughtful strategy to score well here.

🌄 Landscape and Setting

Burapha Golf & Resort is set amid gently sloping hills, palm trees, and expansive views. The natural elevation changes across the course make for a scenic round and interesting shot-making, particularly on the C+D layout. The lush tropical surroundings are beautifully maintained, and the overall condition of the course is consistently excellent. Fairways are manicured, greens are fast and true, and tee boxes are level and clearly marked. One of the strengths of Burapha is its maintenance consistency year-round, even in Thailand’s rainy season. The onsite water management is excellent, so play is rarely interrupted. Water hazards appear on several holes, especially on the C+D loop, but they are well-integrated into the landscape rather than feeling forced. Bunkering is smart, both visually appealing and functionally placed to test decision-making without being overly punishing.

🏨 Clubhouse and On-Site Amenities

Burapha is more than just a golf course—it’s a full resort facility. The clubhouse is modern and comfortable, with open spaces, panoramic views, and high-quality amenities. It includes a spacious restaurant serving Thai and international cuisine, Locker rooms with showers and changing areas, Pro shop stocked with apparel and gear, a large driving range and short game practice areas and Onsite hotel accommodation for overnight golf getaways.

The resort feel makes Burapha especially attractive for golf groups looking to play multiple rounds in a relaxed setting. Many visitors stay for a few nights to enjoy all four loops over several days.

🧭 Caddies, Carts, and Playing Experience at Burapha Golf Resort

As with most Thai golf courses, caddies are mandatory and included in all Fairways of Eden packages. The caddies at Burapha are known for being professional, friendly, and well-trained. Their local course knowledge is particularly helpful on the more strategic C+D layout. Golf carts are also included and mandatory due to the scale of the course and the distances between some holes. Walking is not permitted.

While beginners may feel more comfortable on the East Course (A+B), mid- and low-handicap golfers will find plenty of excitement and challenge on the West Course (C+D). This flexibility makes Burapha an ideal venue for mixed-level groups or corporate outings.

🏆 Tournaments and Reputation

Burapha has hosted several professional tournaments, including events on the Asian Tour, Thailand Open, and Thailand Mixed Series. These events have solidified its reputation as one of Thailand’s premier golf destinations. Its ability to switch between resort-style and championship setups is a testament to the thoughtfulness of the design. Despite its prestige, Burapha remains surprisingly affordable. Fairways of Eden offers excellent value packages that include tee times, caddy fees, cart fees, and optional transfers from Pattaya or surrounding areas.
