20 km SE of Pattaya City.
Chee Chan is located in the Silverlake area, 30 minutes from Pattaya City.
Chee Chan Golf Resort is a relative newcomer to the golfing landscape in Thailand's Chon Buri province. The course is located 20 km south of the renowned Siam Country Club, whose four courses have tended to rule the golfing roost in the Pattaya area ... until now.
This excellently crafted and relatively open parkland layout, offers continuous views of the famed Khao Chee Chan Buddha. As if to underline the Buddha's importance, the relatively easy-going par-4 1st leads you straight towards the hallowed hillside carving. An early close-up view ... and perhaps a quick prayer. The par-5 2nd, with water continually on your left from tee-to-green, will probably establish if your prayers have been answered. There's more water to come on the front-nine; a bit less on the back-nine loop.
With the ever present "Buddha Mountain of Pattaya" as a backdrop, David Dale's 7,345 yard layout promises a memorable round ... whatever your handicap. Good-width gently rolling fairways, several small lakes and ponds, and stylish fairway and greenside bunkering are key elements of this much lauded design.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.

In almost continual view from the golf course is the Khao Chi Chan Buddha. This iconic gold image was laser-carved onto the face of a nearby solitary limestone hill, commemorating the King of Thailand’s golden jubilee in 1996.
Also close by is the Silverlake vineyard and winery, and Silverlake Wine & Grill restaurant.
2020 Golf Digest rating: No.1 course in Thailand.

Tournament of Champions: the PGA Tour’s calendar-year starts, as it has done since 1999, with this iconic event in Hawaii. The field is drawn from players who won a PGA Tour event in 2022, or were amongst the top 30 in last year’s FedEx Cup final standings (Jan 6-9).
Desert Swing: the European (DP World) Tour launches into 2023 with three events in its UAE “Desert Swing”. Up first is the Abu Dhabi Championship (Jan 19-22), followed by the Dubai Desert Classic (Jan 26-29) and the Ras Al Kaimah Championship (Feb 2-5).
Kathy Whitworth: the end of 2022 saw the passing of LPGA Tour legend Kathy Whitworth. Her 88 LPGA Tour victories is more than achieved by any other golfer on either the LPGA or PGA Tours. Amongst her victories were six major championship titles.
Barry Lane: the golfing world was also saddened by the passing of Barry Lane, one of the European Tour and European Senior Tours most popular players. Enjoying success on both Tours, Lane was know for his excellent ball-striking and amiable personality.
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.
