Royal Ratchaburi
Royal Ratchaburi Golf Club is home to a course that commands a good reputation with local golfers. Located a few kilometres off Highway 4 heading south towards Cha-Am and Hua Hin, this undulating layout is set in pleasant countryside and contains many well-crafted and testing holes.
Water and often expansive bunkering could potentially play a significant part in proceedings, at least in terms of weighing up your options from the tee. The undulating greens and rolling fairways mirror the slopes of the jungle-clad Ratchaburi mountains away to the west.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted. Golf carts available for hire. Caddies used by all players.

The small city of Ratchaburi lies about 100 km west of Bangkok. Like many cities in central Thailand it has been inhabited for at least 14 centuries. The city sits on the banks of the Mae Klong River with links into the central Thailand canal system.
There are a several places of religious interest in the area, such as the Khao Wang hill-monastery, formerly a palace of Rama V, and the monkey-infested hermit cave, which contains a very old, gilded stone Buddha - 20 metres tall. (Beware of the monkeys, who will steal the contents of your bags given half a chance).
The town is also known for its “dragon jars”, large brown ceramic pots with dragons emblazoned around the outside, and a feature of many Thai gardens. It’s possible to visit the factory to see the jars being made, but getting one of these pots home on the plane is a greater challenge.

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.
