Phoenix Gold Golf & Country Club – Pattaya / Chonburi
Located just 15 minutes from Pattaya City, Phoenix Gold Golf & Country Club is a beautiful 27-hole championship resort set across gently rolling hills with spectacular views of the Gulf of Thailand and nearby mountain ranges.
Originally opened in 1993 and later renovated by GolfEast (Thailand’s top course designers), Phoenix Gold offers three distinctive 9-hole loops: Ocean, Lake, and Mountain. Each loop offers its own flavor — whether it’s sea views, water challenges, or hilly terrain — making every round dynamic and exciting.
Phoenix Gold is famous for hosting major events, including the Honda LPGA Thailand (2016, 2017), and continues to be a favorite for both international professionals and holiday golfers seeking scenic, high-quality play close to Pattaya.
Course Layout & Design
Phoenix Gold features three 9-hole layouts:
-
Ocean Course:
Open design with sea breezes, wide fairways, and elevated greens. -
Lake Course:
Water hazards dominate, requiring careful club selection and precision. -
Mountain Course:
Undulating terrain and tree-lined fairways offering strategic challenges.
Each nine plays as par-36, allowing for multiple 18-hole combinations.
The full course stretches over 7,000 yards from the back tees when combining two loops.
The design is friendly for mid- to high-handicappers yet still challenging for scratch players due to strategic bunkering and wind exposure.
Signature Holes Include:
-
Ocean Course, Hole 3 (Par 3): A stunning short hole offering panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand.
-
Lake Course, Hole 6 (Par 4): A dramatic risk-reward hole with water guarding the entire right side.
-
Mountain Course, Hole 9 (Par 5): A strong uphill finishing hole with a large green framed by lush trees.
