The Royal Golf & Country Club - A Polished Bangkok Classic Near the Airport

The Royal Golf & Country Club – Bangkok’s Refined Oasis for Golf Travelers

When it comes to planning a well-rounded golf holiday in Thailand, especially around Bangkok, few courses deliver the blend of accessibility, peaceful surroundings, and consistent playability like The Royal Golf & Country Club. Located just a 30-minute drive from central Bangkok and even closer to Suvarnabhumi Airport, it’s an ideal choice for travelers seeking a high-quality round without venturing too far from the city. This 18-hole championship course was designed by Japanese architect Chohei Miyazawa, known for layouts that are fair to beginners yet strategic enough to challenge seasoned players. At approximately 7,100 yards, it plays long but never feels overwhelming thanks to its flat terrain, wide fairways, and intelligently placed water hazards.

📍 Smooth, Peaceful, and Perfectly Placed for Travel Days

What makes The Royal stand out is not just the course itself, but also its location. Whether you’re flying in, flying out, or simply staying in Bangkok for a short golf escape, this course is perfectly placed to accommodate your schedule. You can finish your round and still make a dinner reservation downtown or catch an afternoon flight without stress. The setting is tranquil, nestled in Lat Krabang, a green suburb that feels removed from the city buzz. With minimal traffic noise, natural landscaping, and a layout that flows gently from hole to hole, it’s a course that promotes focus and enjoyment.

🌺 Thoughtful Course Design with Subtle Strategy

The Royal Golf & Country Club is flat, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Water hazards are present on 14 of 18 holes, but the fairways are wide and welcoming. It encourages smart course management rather than punishing mistakes. Expect to encounter:

💧 Strategic ponds that guard greens and frame tee shots
🌳 Mature trees that demand shaping your drives on key holes
⛳️ Smooth-rolling greens with gentle breaks

Some highlight holes include:

🌸 Hole 4 – A risk-reward par-5 with water along the right side. Big hitters might attempt to reach in two, but the narrow approach makes laying up the smart choice.

🌲 Hole 7 – A scenic par-3 over water with a sloped green. Distance control is everything.

🌿 Hole 16 – A long par-4 with bunkers protecting a slightly elevated green, demanding accuracy on both the drive and approach.

🚀 Hole 18 – A solid finishing hole with a creek cutting across the fairway, ideal for strategic play or a final dramatic flourish.

Overall, the course is designed to keep you mentally engaged while providing a relaxing pace of play and smooth transitions between holes.

🛏️ Clubhouse Comforts and Thai Hospitality

The Royal’s clubhouse complements the golfing experience with excellent facilities and service:

🍽️ A restaurant offering both Thai and Western dishes with views over the 18th green
🏍️ A full driving range and short-game area for warm-ups
💼 A well-stocked pro shop with gear and apparel
🚿 Spacious and clean locker rooms with showers
