25 km SE of Bangkok (Sukhumvit hotel area)
From the Sukhumvit area of downtown Bangkok, take the elevated Bangna-Chonburi Expressway (route 34), direction Chonburi. Take exit 4-02 and turn left after about 3 km.
Thana City Golf & Country Club: Although the clubhouse may create something of a tired and lacklustre first impression, the golf course at Thana City is still holding up to a good standard, albeit of a relatively easy-going nature.
You will find plenty of courses around Bangkok where there is more water in play, more serious earthmounding lining the fairways and around the greens, and more expansive bunkering. But don't be fooled into thinking that this Greg Norman layout can't put up a good challenge.
The front and back-nines both serve up long and testing par-3's, as well as quite penal semi-rough, should you stray too far from the usually good-width fairways. Although these fairways may look invitingly wide from several tees, they have a habit of narrowing down to require more challenging approach shots into the greens.
Many bunkers, especially greenside are quite high-lipped, and there's often plenty of them. The fairways are lightly lined with a pleasant variety of trees, although never too densely.
Thana City's substantial condominium blocks stand tall behind the tree-line on a few front-nine holes, but the overall feel here is generally quite open. For a round of golf in pleasant parkland surroundings close to Bangkok itself, Thana City is still worth a visit.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Golf carts available for hire. Caddies used by all players.

Thana City has played host to some prestigious pro tournaments in the past, including the 1996 Johnnie Walker Super Tour and in 1997 the Thailand Open (see Tournaments section - by Venue). It was also formerly home to a David Leadbetter Academy.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
