Bangpakong Riverside Country Club

Once voted one of Asia's most popular and one of Thailand's best golf courses, the Bangpakong layout today is mainly for higher handicappers. The course should not be confused with it's similarly named neighbor, Royal Lakeside, which is the better of the two anyway. The management at Bangprakong Riverside places great emphasis on the local ecology by practicing 'green' golf course maintenance. The overall impact is refreshing environment for golf, with extensive local flora and fauna surrounding the golf course. The Bangpakong Riverside layout is mostly flat and among large paddy fields. Fairways are extremely wide, sometimes seemingly as wide as they are long, which makes the Bangpakong golf course well suited for beginners. There is some thick rough off the fairways, but the balls sit up high for the most part, again making it easy to advance.
