🌳 A Scenic and Serene Escape from Bangkok’s Buzz

Rachakram Golf Club is just 45–60 minutes from central Bangkok, depending on traffic, and feels like a world away once you arrive. The drive takes you past rice paddies, canals, and small villages — offering a glimpse of rural Thailand that few golf tourists get to see. The club’s setting is quiet and natural, with minimal construction or traffic noise, and an overall atmosphere that invites you to slow down and enjoy the game.

This is not a high-profile, luxury resort course — and that’s exactly what makes it charming. The clubhouse is clean and functional, the staff is welcoming, and the course itself is the star of the show. You’ll feel relaxed, unhurried, and well looked after throughout your round.

⛳ A Smart, Strategic Layout That’s 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.

Notable holes include:

🌟 Hole 3 – A dogleg par-4 with water on the left and a sloping green. Great hole to test your positioning off the tee.

🌊 Hole 9 – A picturesque par-5 finishing hole on the front nine, with a large lake running along the left side. Going for it in two is tempting but risky.

🌄 Hole 14 – A long par-3 over water with a deep bunker short right. A real test of distance control and nerves.

🏁 Hole 18 – A well-framed closing par-4 with a wide fairway and a green protected by mounds and bunkers — it invites a strong finish.

This is a course that feels fresh on every playthrough. Whether you’re dialing in your short game or shaping longer drives around hazards, it brings out your strategic side.

🏌️‍♀️ Friendly for All Skill Levels – but Not Without Bite

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.

🍽️ Solid Facilities and Thai Hospitality

The clubhouse may not be flashy, but it delivers everything you need:

🍜 A casual restaurant serving Thai favorites and cool drinks to wind down after your round
🏌️‍♂️ A driving range and short game area for pre-round warmups
🧢 A small pro shop with essentials and rentals

You’ll find that the staff here take pride in offering genuine, no-frills hospitality. It’s not uncommon for repeat guests to be remembered and welcomed back warmly.

🧳 A Perfect Add-On to Your Bangkok Golf Trip

One of Rachakram’s strongest suits is how well it fits into a multi-day golf itinerary around Bangkok. It pairs perfectly with nearby courses like Riverdale, Alpine, or Bangkok Golf Club, offering variety in setting, pace, and course character. It’s also a great option if you’ve already played the more well-known city courses and want something quieter, more natural, and less crowded. Whether you’re looking for a second round during a short trip or something a bit off the beaten path, Rachakram fills the gap. And with easy transfer options arranged by Fairways of Eden, getting to and from the course is completely hassle-free.
