Golf Course

Laem Chabang International Country Club

Laem Chabang International Country Club is one of the Pattaya area's blue-chip golf destinations — a 27-hole Jack Nicklaus 'Signature' design spread across roughly 700 acres of hill, lake and valley terrain at Bueng, near Sriracha, about 30 minutes north of central Pattaya. Opened in 1995, it has ranked among Thailand's best-regarded resort courses ever since, and it is a fixture on golf-tour itineraries out of Pattaya. The layout is three distinct nine-hole loops — Mountain, Lake and Valley — that combine into full 18-hole, par-72 rounds; the Mountain nine climbs through hillside country at about 3,446 yards, the Lake nine (around 3,419 yards) threads water and a running stream, and the Valley nine (around 3,619 yards) plays out beneath picturesque hills. It is a demanding but fair Nicklaus test with generous conditioning, a proper clubhouse, a mat-and-grass driving range, putting green, pro shop, rental clubs and lessons, plus caddies and carts. As with all the marquee courses out here, green fees sit in the premium bracket, a caddy is compulsory and carts are available; rates rise at weekends and in the November–February cool-season peak. Many visitors reach it as part of a golf package that bundles transfers from Pattaya hotels. Book tee times ahead, particularly in high season.

About

Laem Chabang International Country Club is one of the courses that helped put Pattaya golf on the map. Opened in 1995 to a Jack Nicklaus “Signature” design, it sprawls across around 700 acres of hill, lake and valley country at Bueng near Sriracha, roughly 30 minutes north of the city, and it has stayed on the region’s short list of must-play resort courses for three decades.

The clever bit is the three-loop, 27-hole structure. Mountain, Lake and Valley each play as a nine, and combine into full 18-hole par-72 rounds — so a two-round golf trip can serve up genuinely different challenges on the same estate. Expect a demanding but fair Nicklaus layout with strong conditioning, wrapped around a full-service clubhouse.

The course

Mountain nine — ~3,446 yards, climbing through hillside terrain.
Lake nine — ~3,419 yards, threading water and a running stream.
Valley nine — ~3,619 yards, played out beneath the surrounding hills.
Design: Jack Nicklaus “Signature”, opened 1995; 27 holes over ~700 acres, combining into par-72 rounds.

Green fees and what to expect

Green fees sit in the premium Pattaya-area bracket and vary by day and season; we could not confirm a current published figure at the time of writing. As a guide, a course of this class typically runs a few thousand baht for 18 holes, plus a compulsory caddy fee (a few hundred baht, tip on top) and an optional cart. Weekends and the cool-season peak cost more. A golf-booking agent or hotel golf desk will confirm the current rate and can bundle round-trip transfers from Pattaya — often the best-value way to play.

Good to know

Pair it with a nearby course — Burapha Golf & Resort is close by — to make the drive north worthwhile, and build in transfer time each way from your Pattaya hotel; there is no useful public transport. Book tee times ahead, especially November to February, and confirm the current green fee, caddy and cart charges directly with the club or your golf agent, as they change with season and demand. A collared shirt and golf shoes are expected on the course.

Before you go

The honest take

Practical context to consider before you choose.

The club is in Si Racha rather than Pattaya city
The THB 4,050 signal is a hotel-room rate, not a green fee
Green fees, caddie fees, carts and lodging are separate products
Tee times require booking and can be affected by events or course maintenance
Hotel and golf prices vary by date and package

Frequently asked questions

Where is Laem Chabang International Country Club?

It is at 106/8 Moo 4, Bueng, in the Sriracha district north of Pattaya — roughly 30 minutes' drive from central Pattaya, near the Laem Chabang area (close to Burapha Golf & Resort). Golfers arrive by car, Grab, hotel transfer or a golf-tour minibus arranged with the tee time.

Who designed the course and how many holes are there?

It is a 27-hole Jack Nicklaus 'Signature' design that opened in 1995, set over about 700 acres. The three nine-hole loops — Mountain, Lake and Valley — combine into 18-hole, par-72 rounds, so you can play different pairings on different days.

How much are the green fees?

They sit in the premium Pattaya-area bracket and change by day and season, and a current published figure wasn't available at the time of writing. As a guide, a class of course like this typically runs a few thousand baht for 18 holes, plus a caddy fee and an optional cart, with weekends and high season dearer. Confirm the exact rate with the club or a golf-booking agent, who can also bundle transfers.

Do I need a caddy or a cart?

A caddy is compulsory here, as at nearly all Thai courses, and tipping on top of the caddy fee is customary. Carts (buggies) are available and worth taking on the hillier Mountain nine, especially in the heat. Club rental, a driving range and a putting green are all on site if you are travelling light.

Do I need to book a tee time in advance?

Yes — it is a popular course on the Pattaya golf circuit. Book ahead at any time of year and well ahead during the November–February cool-season peak. Most Pattaya golf agents and many hotels can arrange the tee time and round-trip transfers together.

Is it suitable for higher handicappers?

It is a genuine Nicklaus championship test with water and elevation, so it rewards accuracy — but playing the forward tees, taking a cart and a good caddy makes it very enjoyable for mid and higher handicappers. A collared shirt and proper golf shoes are expected.

Khao Kheow Country Club

Khao Kheow Country Club is one of the most scenic and best-value golf courses in the greater Pattaya area — a 27-hole Pete Dye design laid out across two lush valleys at Bang Phra, in Si Racha district, on the road north towards Chonburi and Bangkok. Opened in the early 1990s, it plays as three interchangeable nine-hole loops (Courses A, B and C) that combine into different 18-hole rounds, so multi-day golfers rarely repeat a hole. In classic Pete Dye fashion it demands precise shot-making: fast greens, dramatic elevation changes, water hazards, and mounding and bunkering that punish a loose swing. The signature is the par-3 island green on Course B — a TPC Sawgrass-style hole that's one of the most photographed in Thailand. What makes Khao Kheow especially popular, though, is the price: it's noticeably cheaper than Pattaya's marquee tournament courses, with discounted booking rates on weekday mornings often starting around 1,450 baht including cart and caddy. The main trade-off is distance — it's roughly 45 minutes to an hour from central Pattaya rather than the 20 minutes of the closer courses — and, as at all Thai clubs, a caddy is compulsory. Book tee times ahead in the cool-season peak, and arrange your own transport, as there's no useful public transport out here.

Fairtex Training Center

Fairtex Training Center on North Pattaya Road is one of the most famous Muay Thai camps in the world — the gym behind champions like Stamp Fairtex and Yodsanklai, and the training arm of the Fairtex equipment brand founded in 1971. Unlike the spartan camps of old, this is a large, purpose-built complex: multiple full-size rings, rows of heavy bags, a matted area for BJJ and MMA, a fitness gym, pool and on-site accommodation at the attached sports club and hotel. Training is open to everyone, not just fighters — walk-in visitors can buy single sessions, while most guests book weekly or monthly packages that combine twice-daily group classes (morning from 7:30am, afternoon from 2:30pm, Monday to Saturday) with optional private rounds with the camp's Thai trainers, many of them former stadium champions. Expect to train alongside a genuinely mixed crowd: pro fighters preparing for ONE Championship bouts, fitness tourists, and total beginners getting patient pad-work coaching. Prices are higher than backstreet Thai gyms — you are paying for the name, facilities and trainer depth — but it remains the default answer to 'where should I train Muay Thai in Pattaya?'. Book packages and rooms ahead in high season.

Tiffany's Indoor Shooting Range

Tiffany's Indoor Shooting Range sits inside the same North Pattaya building as the famous Tiffany's cabaret show, which is why so many visitors combine the two: shoot in the afternoon, watch the show at night. It is a supervised indoor pistol range aimed squarely at tourists — no licence or experience needed, with staff instructors walking first-timers through safety and stance before any live fire. The gun rack covers .22, .38 and .45 calibre revolvers and pistols plus a 9mm, with rifles available on request for experienced shooters. Pricing is per bullet package and includes gun rental, range fee, ear protection and targets: expect roughly 600 baht for a 10-round package, with 25- and 50-round packages scaling up to about 2,500 baht — so it is a short, novelty experience rather than a cheap afternoon. Shooters must be 18 or over. Lanes are air-conditioned and the whole visit typically takes 20–40 minutes, which is why it works well as a stop before Central Festival or the cabaret rather than a standalone outing. You keep your paper target as a souvenir.
