The Rolling Hills course at Siam Country Club, Pattaya is the newest offering at this prestigious and much-admired golf club in Thailand. The layout, comprising two nine-hole loops, has its similarities and differences with its three stablemates ... the Old, Plantation and Waterside courses.
Here at Rolling Hills you will find a hybrid of traditional open parkland elements and more modern expressions. Large waste areas planted with casuarina trees blend with pine straw forest, sandy waste areas, marsh lands, and grass-fronted and railway-sleeper bunkers.
On the layout's more "rolling" back-nine several water hazards also come into play. As is the case with all Siam Country Club courses, the Rolling Hills layout is not burdened by real estate on its boundaries, and so creates an enjoyably natural golf experience.
MOST MEMORABLE HOLE: the par-5 15th (Wall of Death) plays uphill along a double dog-leg fairway to a green guarded by a 19-foot pit bunker. Also noteworthy is the 18th, which wraps around a lake to bring you to another of Siam Country Club's impressive clubhouses.
Siam Country Club now offers four excellent championship courses. The original and much revered Old course opened for play in 1971. Located just a few kilometres to the east is the Plantation course, which dates from 2008. The most recent additions are the Waterside course (2014), located between the Old and Plantation layouts, and the Rolling Hills course (2020), which sits just below the Old course.

Siam Country Club was founded by Dr Thaworn Phornprapha in 1971 as the first private golf course in Thailand. Dr Phornprapha was the founder of Siam Motors Company, which was granted exclusive rights to the Nissan automobile brand in Thailand in 1952.
Both the Old and Plantation courses have hosted numerous top-level events, not least the Thailand Open and the LPGA Tour's "LPGA Thailand" tournament (see our Tournaments section >by Venue >Siam CC).
2020 Golf Digest rating: 7th best course in Thailand.
