Grand Prix Golf Club

Grand Prix Golf Club is a well-conditioned golf course in Thailand’s Kanachaburi Province that will take the breath away. The course is set in a vast open space with panoramic views of Burmese mountain ranges in the distance. A large river bisects the course and adds to the native scenery. It takes around 30 minutes to reach the site from Kanchanaburi town or 2 hours from Bangkok. Grand Prix makes excellent use of significant mounding and undulations through the fairways and greens. Many holes have split fairways offering golfers both a more challenging and a relaxing approach to the greens. Multi-tiered greens have lots of break so it pays to select the correct club for each approach shot; otherwise 3-putts or worse is likely.

A feature of the course, are the split fairways, which can be found on many of the holes.  These offer a choice of approach to the green, some of which are more challenging than others.  When in reach of the green, simply landing the ball on it is not going to be good enough to score well.  The greens are multi-tiered and the breaks on them can be punishing.  Therefore, careful club selection and accurate placement of the golf ball is vital.

Perhaps the pick of the holes at the Grand Prix Golf Club, is par-5 fifth hole, which plays to 557 yards.  The green is elevated and surrounded by water, which makes it a difficult task but at the same time, the fairway follows the natural landscape, making the fifth hole a challenge and a delight in equal measure.
