A Scenic Escape from Bangkok’s Buzz – Rachakram Golf Club

Rachakram Golf Club, A Smart, Strategic Layout, Never Boring
Rachakram was designed with course management in mind. While it stretches to around 6,900 yards from the back tees, it doesn’t rely on brute distance. Instead, it offers a range of interesting shot decisions, shaped fairways, and well-placed hazards that reward accuracy and thoughtful play. Water hazards come into play on more than half the holes, but most are designed to make you think, not punish you. You’ll often face options off the tee, play it safe or take the more aggressive line for a better angle. Elevations are subtle but enough to create visual variety and add a layer of challenge, especially around the greens. Greens are typically fast and true, with gentle slopes that demand confident putting without being overly tricky.
Friendly for All Skill Levels But Not Without Bite at Rachakram Golf Club
Despite its strategic demands, Rachakram is not overly punishing. Wide fairways and multiple tee boxes mean you can dial up or down the difficulty depending on your group. It’s a great course for mid-handicappers looking to improve, but also for more casual players who want a relaxed round in scenic surroundings. It’s also very walkable, with gentle terrain and short distances between holes — though carts are included in every round booked with Fairways of Eden, and caddies are mandatory.
