Our top picks
You have a free morning in Bangkok and your clubs in the car. The best golf courses near Bangkok for visitors are Thai Country Club and Nikanti Golf Club, both with published visitor rates. Alpine Golf and Sports Club and Amata Spring are well-known championship courses. Neither publishes a public visitor rate, so access depends on the club. Tanner arranges tee times at all four where possible.
- Thai Country Club: best for a classic championship round. Visitor fees from ฿5,100 (low-season weekday) to ฿7,500 (high-season weekend afternoon), per the club.
- Nikanti Golf Club: best for an all-inclusive day. ฿5,500 on weekdays and ฿6,500 at weekends, including caddie, caddie tip, GPS cart and dining, per the club.
- Alpine Golf and Sports Club: best for a long, demanding course. Par 72 over 7,100 yards; no public visitor rate.
- Amata Spring Country Club: best for guests with a member's invitation. The club calls itself a private club and publishes no visitor rates.
Example plan: a golf day. 05:45, the car collects you from your hotel. 07:00, tee off in the cool of the morning. 11:30, finish the round, then shower and change at the clubhouse. 12:30, a long lunch at the club. 14:30, back at your hotel for a swim and a rest before dinner.
For a longer day out, the courses of Pattaya and Hua Hin are also within reach of the capital. See our guides to golf in Pattaya and golf in Hua Hin.
How we chose
We chose clubs on four points. They are course quality, access to tee times for visitors, service, and whether the club publishes its own rates. Every fee on this page comes from the club's own website, checked in October and November 2026, and we name the club as the source.
We do not list courses whose official sites do not resolve or publish no information, and we never use golf agents' prices. Where a club publishes no visitor rate, we say so. We recheck fees every three months. For every region and course type, start from our golf in Thailand hub.
Thai Country Club
Thai Country Club opened in December 1996, and its course was designed by Denis Griffiths, according to the club. It publishes visitor fees by season. From November to March, it lists ฿6,000 on weekdays and ฿7,500 at weekends and public holidays. Weekend visitors play in the afternoon only.
From April to October, the low season, the club lists ฿5,100 on weekdays and ฿6,100 at weekends, again afternoon only. The rate page does not state whether caddie and cart fees are included, so we confirm the full cost when we book.
Choose this course for a serious, well-kept championship layout within reach of the city. Book a weekday morning in the cool season: the course is at its best, and you finish before the heat.
Nikanti Golf Club
Nikanti Golf Club offers an all-inclusive visitor day: ฿5,500 on weekdays and ฿6,500 at weekends and public holidays, per person, according to the club. The rate includes the 18-hole green fee, caddie fee, caddie tip and a GPS golf cart. It also covers all-day Thai and international dining at its restaurant, Kan.
The course was designed by Pirapon Namatra of GolfEast and measures 6,789 yards from the back tees, the club says. The club also offers 3, 6, 9, 12 or 15 holes on request, which suits a short session before a flight or a business lunch.
Nikanti suits mixed groups. Strong players get a real design to play, while beginners and non-golfers join for a few holes and stay for the long lunch. Our pick for a relaxed day with family or business partners.
The rate page is undated, so we confirm the current price before every booking. Extra gratuities for your caddie are welcome, says the club, but not required, since the tip is already included.
Alpine Golf and Sports Club
Alpine Golf and Sports Club, in Pathum Thani north of Bangkok, was designed by Ron M. Garl and measures 7,100 yards with a par of 72, according to the club. It is a long course that rewards strong, straight hitting, and a real test for good players.
The club does not publish a public visitor rate. Its website shows only a member's-guest rate, which is not open to visitors. If you would like to play Alpine, Tanner asks the club about access for your dates and group, and arranges a member introduction where possible.
Amata Spring Country Club
Amata Spring Country Club describes itself on its website as a private club. Its tournament layout was designed by Lee Schmidt of Schmidt-Curley Design, the club says. It publishes no green fee for visitors or non-members, so in practice you play only as a member's guest.
If you are travelling for business, a Thai partner or host who is a member may invite you. Tanner can advise on the right approach and arrange the car and lunch once a tee time is confirmed.
More golf within reach of Bangkok
Beyond these four clubs, the best visitor golf near Bangkok is a longer drive away, in Pattaya and Hua Hin. Both regions have championship courses with published visitor rates, and a private car makes a day trip or an overnight stay easy. Our advice: combine a round with a night by the sea.
Pattaya. Siam Country Club's Old Course opened in 1971. The club lists a visitor green fee of ฿6,500 on weekdays and ฿8,500 at weekends and public holidays. Caddies are required for every player, and each golfer must have their own cart.
Hua Hin. Black Mountain opened in 2007 and offers 27 holes in three nines, according to the club. It lists a ฿3,500 green fee for 18 holes on its undated rate page, with a compulsory cart.
Corporate golf days. Golf is a common part of business life in Thailand, and a well-run day can strengthen a partnership. We arrange tee times for groups, caddies, prizes, a private lunch room and cars for every guest. Send the size of your group and the mood you want.
Other Bangkok-area courses, such as those in the eastern and northern suburbs, often publish rates only through agents. We do not print agent prices; Tanner checks the club's own figure when you book. See all published rates on our golf green fees page.
What a round costs
A round near Bangkok usually costs the green fee plus a caddie fee, a cart fee and a tip for the caddie. Thai Country Club's visitor fees run from ฿5,100 to ฿7,500. Nikanti's all-inclusive ฿5,500 to ฿6,500 already covers caddie, tip, cart and dining, so you know the full cost before you tee off.
Check whether a price is net or has service charge and VAT added. Clubs that list extras separately often charge for the caddie and cart on the day. A cash tip for your caddie is customary at clubs where it is not included. Siam Country Club, for example, says tips generally start at ฿500.
What to bring. Most clubs expect a collared shirt, tailored shorts or trousers and soft-spike golf shoes; check each club's rules before you play. Bring a hat, sunscreen, two gloves and cash for the caddie tip. Clubs can usually store your bags if you play more than one day.
Weekend and public-holiday rates are higher, and some clubs restrict visitors to afternoon tee times at weekends. Weekday mornings give the best value and the coolest conditions.
Best time to play
The best time to play golf near Bangkok is November to February, the cool and dry months. The Thai Meteorological Department places the hot season from mid-February to mid-May, and the rainy season from mid-May to mid-October. In those months, tee off early.
Avoid the busiest dates if you can. Long weekends and Thai public holidays bring more local golfers and higher rates, and some clubs limit visitors. The Bank of Thailand publishes the year's bank holidays, and we plan your rounds around them.
In the rainy season, storms usually arrive later in the day, so a 06:30 or 07:00 tee time often finishes before the rain. Bring a spare glove, a hat and plenty of water, and take shade between holes in the hottest weeks.
Plan your golf day with Tanner
One planner, the whole golf day. Tanner books the course and tee time, the caddies, lunch at the club and a private chauffeur with room for the bags. He also tells you honestly when a famous course is not worth the long journey. For a longer trip, see our guide to the best places to play golf in Thailand.
