Crystal Bay Golf Club course overview
Crystal Bay Golf Club is a 27-hole golf facility in Bang Phra, Si Racha District, Chonburi, within the wider Pattaya golf region. Designed by Thai Takenaka and opened in 1988, the club is divided into three par-36 nine-hole courses named A, B and C. An 18-hole round combines two of these nines and measures between 6,886 and 6,965 yards from the blue tees, depending on the assigned pairing. Gently undulating fairways, palm trees, lakes, waterways and strategically positioned bunkers create a playable parkland test where accuracy around water is more important than extreme length.
Is Crystal Bay Golf Club right for you?
Best for: Mid- and higher-handicap golfers who enjoy strategic water, relatively generous landing areas and the variety of a 27-hole layout.
Also suitable for: Mixed-ability groups and developing golfers who choose appropriate tees and use conservative targets around the lakes and waterways.
Less suitable for: Golfers seeking dramatic mountain elevation or one permanently fixed 18-hole routing for every round.

Crystal Bay golf club – Location & Getting There
What it is like to play Crystal Bay Golf Club
Crystal Bay offers a traditional tropical parkland round with enough fairway width to remain enjoyable while water and bunkers continue to influence the preferred route. The ground moves gently rather than dramatically, creating occasional uneven lies without the severe elevation changes found at hillier Chonburi courses. Palm-lined corridors provide much of the visual identity, while lakes and waterways appear beside fairways and in front of selected greens. Golfers who keep the ball in play can create scoring opportunities, but inaccurate shots toward the principal water hazard can quickly turn a manageable hole into a recovery challenge.
The palm-lined setting and Natural Park history
Crystal Bay opened in 1988 under the name Natural Park Resort Golf Club before later adopting its current identity. The property lies close to the Gulf of Thailand between Chonburi and Pattaya, with low hills, established vegetation and open water shaping the landscape. Tall palm trees give many holes a recognisable tropical character, while the C nine moves closest to the wooded hills along one side of the property. The combination of mature planting, water and three separate nines gives the course more visual variety than a single fixed routing.
Crystal Bay Golf Club course design and strategy
Thai Takenaka designed Crystal Bay around repeated choices between a direct line near water and a safer route that can leave a longer approach. The fairways are generally playable in width, but lakes, channels and bunkers reduce the useful landing area on several holes. Approaches become more difficult when played from the wrong side because water or sand can narrow the entrance to the green. The strongest strategy is to confirm the active nine-hole pairing, identify the main hazard from the tee and favour a clear approach angle rather than pursuing maximum distance on every drive.
How to play Crystal Bay Golf Club
Keep the ball away from water
Identify the safe side before every tee shot and accept a longer approach when the direct route brings a lake or channel into play.
Use fairway position
Favour the section that opens the green rather than automatically aiming for the geographical centre of the landing area.
Trust your caddie near the greens
Confirm the safest carry, bunker position and preferred miss before attacking targets partly protected by water.
The A, B and C courses at Crystal Bay Golf Club
Course A: At 3,516 yards from the blue tees, Course A is the longest of the three nines. Its scorecard includes a 215-yard par three at hole 5 and a 165-yard par three at hole 8, while well-known course descriptions highlight the water-led third and eighth as two of Crystal Bay’s most recognisable holes.
Course B: Course B measures 3,437 yards from blue and combines two par threes, two par fives and several substantial par fours. The ninth is a 410-yard par four, while the 429-yard seventh carries the lowest handicap rating on the nine and places a premium on accurate position.
Course C: Course C measures 3,449 yards from blue and moves closest to the low, wooded hills bordering the property. Its routing includes a 554-yard par five at hole 6 and a 526-yard par five to finish, creating a longer closing demand than its overall nine-hole yardage might suggest.
