Thailand is a paradise for golfers, with countless golf courses within driving distance of Bangkok. Today, BaiGolf introduces a golf course where monkeys roam freely - Bangpra Golf Club.

Located in Chonburi Province, Bangpra Golf Club was once owned by Japanese, who were involved in its management. However, it is now entirely managed by locals, although many Japanese still come here to play.

Bangpra is synonymous with monkeys, earning the nickname "Monkey" for this golf course. It takes about 1.5 hours from Bangkok and 30 minutes from Sriracha to reach the course.

Features of the Golf Course

The course features numerous lakes, trees, and obstacles, demanding precision from golfers. Additionally, the greens slope downhill rapidly, requiring an aggressive approach from below.

Starting from the white tees, the course measures 3600 yards in length. Overall, its strategic design makes it challenging to score well, making it an excellent practice ground for intermediate to advanced players. The fees are moderate for the area.

On-Site Experience

The course conditions are quite good, with excellent maintenance. Caddies are helpful and attentive, taking good care of the greens. Golf carts are allowed on the fairways, making navigation convenient. The course overall is undulating, with more ponds, trees, bunkers, and OB areas, making it one of the most challenging courses in the Chonburi area.

Be careful not to let the monkeys steal your valuables.

Clubhouse

The clubhouse is very nice and functional. However, the showers are somewhat old, with weak water pressure.

Locker Room

The lockers are spacious. Theft seems to be quite common in the area, so you should be responsible for your valuables.

Practice Area

Practice is the key to improving your golf skills before hitting the course. There is a practice area, although it is a bit far away. One bucket of balls costs 30 baht. There is also a large chipping and putting area where you can practice beforehand.

In Conclusion
