Location & Getting There
What It Is Like to Play Waterside
Waterside opens with broad views and a calm visual rhythm, but the round becomes more exacting as water repeatedly shapes sightlines and approach decisions. The gently undulating ground creates fewer severe stance changes than a hillside course, while the open setting keeps most targets visible. Large greens provide room, yet their subtle movement and surrounding bunkers make distance control increasingly important towards the water-led closing stretch.
The Two-Reservoir Setting Behind Waterside
Waterside was built around two large reservoirs, with lakes, creeks and wetland edges forming the course’s physical framework. The relatively low-relief terrain allows water rather than elevation to define the routing, playing angles and long views. Broad fairways sit within an open inland landscape, while the modern clubhouse overlooks the course and water features. This two-reservoir setting gives Waterside a clear identity without relying on dramatic elevation or dense woodland.

What Golfers Say About Siam Country Club Waterside
We reviewed recurring public golfer feedback to identify the themes players mention most often about this course.
Water shapes much of the strategy without making the course relentlessly penal, and the generally playable routing is punctuated by tougher holes such as 6, 8, 9 and 17 where positioning and course management become more important.
Caddies receive strong recent feedback for course guidance and creating an enjoyable round, while the clubhouse and short-game practice facilities are well regarded, although the driving range uses mats rather than grass.
Green speed has varied noticeably in recent feedback—from fast and true to unexpectedly slow—while premium pricing, occasional slow play and a layout some golfers find less distinctive than Siam’s other Pattaya courses are recurring considerations.
Siam Country Club Waterside is particularly well suited to golfers wanting Siam-level conditioning and service in a more approachable, water-influenced Pattaya layout; golfers seeking the group’s most dramatic or strategically intense course may prefer Plantation or Rolling Hills.

Waterside Course Design and Strategy
IMG Golf Course Design uses generous fairway width to create choices rather than automatic safety. Preferred landing areas open clearer approaches, while poor angles bring water, bunkers or less favourable green entrances into play. The large greens can receive a range of shots, but their subtle contours make the correct section important. Strategic depth comes from deciding how closely to challenge water and fairway hazards for a better approach, not from surviving narrow corridors or extreme elevation. Power helps, but controlled positioning and reliable distance judgement create the better scoring opportunities.
How to Play Waterside
Choose a Suitable Tee
Use the five official tee sets to keep water carries and approach distances appropriate for your reliable game.
Position Before Power
Aim for the side of each fairway that opens the green rather than simply chasing maximum distance.
Commit Around the Water
Choose a clear carry or conservative route early; indecision brings the course’s lakes and creeks into play.
Use Local Green Knowledge
Ask your caddie for landing lines and green reads, especially where subtle slopes are difficult to see.
Defining Water Holes at Waterside
Hole 4 – Par 4: This short par four is framed by water and open sky, making precision more valuable than length. The exposed presentation increases visual pressure, and a controlled tee shot is needed to preserve a clean approach. It establishes Waterside’s central theme: generous space still demands a disciplined line.
Hole 17 – Par 4: The seventeenth wraps around a large lake and asks how much water the golfer is prepared to challenge. A more aggressive route can improve the angle and shorten the remaining shot, while a conservative line leaves a longer approach. Positioned late in the round, it turns Waterside’s recurring water strategy into a decisive closing test.
Waterside Facilities and Course Rules
Waterside provides a driving range, putting green and chipping area, together with club rental, a pro shop, restaurant, lockers, showers and drying facilities. Every golfer must use a caddie and an individual cart; carts cannot be shared and may only be driven by Siam Country Club caddies. The official scorecard sets a pace target of two hours fifteen minutes per nine holes and requires proper golf attire. Recent rain may restrict carts to designated paths.
