Burapha Golf & Resort (East course: A&B): With lush, verdant Thai countryside and jungle-clad hills all around, you may wonder about Burapha's claim to be the home of 36-holes of British/American links style golf. If you opt to play the American Wood-nine (A) and British Links-nine (B) this claim may be something of a stretch for the imagination. Both are very pleasant courses, but are more parkland in style, rather than open, linksy layouts.
The resemblances to links golf are stronger on the Crystal-nine (C) and Dunes-nine (D). All four nines, based on nicely undulating layouts, give you the opportunity to look across the valley to the impressive clubhouse of Laem Chabang Golf Club.
Characteristic of the very well-designed A and B courses are some wonderfully elevated tee-boxes that give you excellent views onto the holes laid out below. Around the greens clinging semi-rough joins forces with good-quality bunkering to put a premium on hitting the assorted-sized greens.
The American Wood-nine will need its recent tree planting to develop further before it takes on anything of a mature wooded character, and its companion may not be everyone's idea of a British links-style course - sand dunes and a salty breeze are not much in evidence. However, in combination, Burapha's A & B courses provide a very scenic and testing golfing outing in an enjoyable, lightly tree-lined, parkland setting.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Golf carts compulsory. Caddies used by all players.

After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
