Royal Lakeside Golf Club near Pattaya – Green Fees & Tee Times – Location & Getting There
What It Is Like to Play Royal Lakeside
Royal Lakeside has an open visual character, with broad fairways, light semi-rough and generally low-lying ground. The round becomes more exacting when crossing creeks, the perimeter lagoon and changing wind affect carry distances and preferred targets. Minor misses are often recoverable, but exposed approaches can require an extra club or a more conservative line. The experience is spacious and measured rather than steep or physically demanding.
The Bang Pakong River Setting Behind Royal Lakeside
Royal Lakeside sits near the mouth of the Bang Pakong River in a low-lying landscape shaped by water and coastal air. More than 2,000 coconut trees, crossing creeks and a lagoon around the course create its open sightlines and water-led identity. The setting produces steady wind exposure without relying on major elevation changes. Its character comes from the interaction between flat ground, palms, river proximity and water bordering or crossing the playing corridors.
Royal Lakeside Course Design and Strategy
Royal Lakeside’s width creates room from the tee, but water prevents the course from becoming a simple driving exercise. Small creeks cross selected fairways, while the perimeter lagoon can tighten the usable side of the playing corridor. Light semi-rough makes small misses less severe, so the stronger defence comes from carry selection, water avoidance, bunkering and wind-adjusted approach distance. The long par fives and exposed par threes reward controlled club selection. Position should be chosen around the next water line rather than by automatically aiming at the widest visible area.
How to Play Royal Lakeside
Plan Around the Water
Identify where creeks cross the fairway and where the perimeter lagoon reduces the safest landing area.
Recheck the Wind
Recheck carry yardages before exposed shots because sea-influenced breezes can change club selection quickly.
Use Your Caddie
Use your caddie’s local knowledge for wind, water lines and the day’s green speed.
Defining Holes at Royal Lakeside Golf Club
Hole 1 (Par 5): At up to 522 yards, the opener immediately establishes the course’s broad, distance-led character and gives golfers room to settle into the round.
Hole 12 (Par 3): Playing up to 200 yards, the 12th is a substantial par 3 where exposed conditions can materially change the required club.
Hole 13 (Par 4): At up to 453 yards, the 13th follows the long par 3 with a full-length par 4, creating one of the back nine’s strongest changes in rhythm.
Hole 18 (Par 5): The closing hole reaches 563 yards from the back markers, restoring full-length decision-making and creating a demanding final scoring opportunity.
