Loch Palm is situated next to Red Mountain and was very similar. Red Mountain was most probably in better condition, but Loch Palm was still very enjoyable to play. There was the usual copious amounts of water to hit over or avoid but this was a reasonable challenge. Rosie struggled a bit throughout the game, […]

Red Mountain was a very nice golf course and well worth playing. It was set in the mountains of Phuket and you had lush vegetation everywhere you played. There was a lot of water but none that was difficult to negotiate. Our caddies gave us very good advice which meant that our scores were reflective […]

After Chiang Mai, we flew back to Bangkok in preparation for flying home. Bruce allowed an extra day before leaving so we had one last game booked into Bangpoo Golf and Sports Club. We hadn’t played this course before and Bruce picked it since it was near the coast and should have been cooler than […]

This was an older course and the facilities were a bit rundown, but from the moment you stood on the first tee, you could see you were in for a treat. The first hole was a nice dogleg par four where you had to hit over 150m of water to reach the fairway, you then […]

Since Rosie and Bruce have been to Chiang Mai a couple of time already, we decided to play golf on consecutive days rather than go site seeing. Summit is an older course and the greens are a bit strange, with two different varieties of grass on them. One type is much slower that the other […]

After our last game in Hua Hin, we took a taxi to Bangkok and then flew to Chiang Mai to stay in the Wealth Boutique Hotel again, which is situated inside the walled city. First night we walked up the street to Kat’s Kitchen to see if it was still just as good. It was […]

Our last game in Hua Hin was at Springfield. This course is not as pristine as the previous two, but was very enjoyable to play. As usual we all had a few blowouts but overall everyone played well. The most pleasing thing, from Bruce’s perspective was his consistency on the first nine. If his putting […]

Black Mountain is another popular course in Hua Hin that every golfer who visits here raves about. As such, it is also one of the more expensive courses. The clubhouse and facilities were immaculate and the infrastructure in great shape. As usual we were met by a group of caddies who took our clubs and […]

On Saturday we moved to Hua Hin, which is South of Bangkok and on the ocean. The weather has been cool and windy, which is very pleasant and much better than the usual hot and humid. First thing when we arrived was to change some money and Bruce was very surprised to be told that […]

Today we went to Royal Ratchaburi which was about 1 and a half hours from the River Kwai. Only four of us played this course, Deb and Julie had a rest day to go shopping and relax (the later part didn’t really happen). This was one of the cheapest courses we played so it would […]
