Bangpakong Riverside opened on 21 July 1990 as the first golf course in Chachoengsao province. It lies in Ban Pho district, on the eastern side of the Bangkok–Pattaya corridor, with the Bang Pakong River winding around the property. It is a relaxed, wide-open course that suits a mixed group, and it makes a sensible stop on the transfer from Bangkok to the eastern seaboard rather than a destination in its own right.
Bangpakong Riverside Country Club green fees and tee times.
There is no rate card on the club’s website, so the price you pay depends on who you book with. You can contact the club directly through its Facebook page (bangpakong.golf) or by phone (Thai2Siam lists +66 38 573 523; other directories give +66 38 500 500), or book through Bangkok golf operators such as Golfasian, which confirm the tee time and arrange transfers. Package sellers also list rounds that bundle green fee, caddie and cart. Golfasian lists a maximum of five players per group and cart rental at ฿700. Third-party directories quote weekday green fees of ฿1,300 to ฿1,500 and weekend fees of ฿2,500 to ฿3,000 (Thai2Siam gives ฿1,500 and ฿3,000), but none is dated, so treat prices as on request and confirm them when you book.
The round, in perspective.
The designer was Chird Boonyaratavej, a Thai architect. The course is par 72 and runs from 5,470 yards off the forward tees to 7,140 from the back, and Golfasian lists it at 6,685 yards. The land is flat, set among large paddy fields, and the fairways are wide. What stops it from being easy is the wind off the river, which makes the holes into the breeze play much longer, and several par threes that carry water at around 200 yards. The river comes into play on a number of holes, there are lakes and trees to cross on others, and some fairways are lined with thick rough. Greens are quick.

Make the trip work.
Five-balls are allowed, and a 2023 review on Golfasian describes spending nine holes behind a Thai five-ball, so an early tee time is worth asking for. The clubhouse building covers more than 5,000 square metres, with a party room, a snooker room, a swimming pool and a fitness centre, so non-golfers in the group have somewhere to wait out the round. Golfasian describes the driving range as old; the practice area behind the clubhouse is the better warm-up. Expect the breeze to strengthen through the day.
The club is at 49 Moo 2, Saen Phu Dat, Ban Pho, in Chachoengsao province east of Bangkok. Golfasian puts it roughly an hour from either Bangkok or Pattaya, which makes it a convenient break on the way to the coast. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the nearest airport.
There is little accommodation beside the course. Chachoengsao town, on the river to the north, has a handful of mid-range hotels. Most golfers either drive out from Bangkok or play on the way to Pattaya or Si Racha and stay there, where the hotel choice is far wider.
Make a trip of it.
Laem Chabang International, with its 27 Jack Nicklaus holes near Si Racha, and Siam Country Club’s Old Course above Pattaya both suit an onward trip. Back towards Bangkok, Subhapruek and Summit Windmill sit on the Bangna–Trad road. In Chachoengsao town, Wat Sothon Wararam Worawihan is one of central Thailand’s most visited temples, and Ban Mai market is an old riverside wooden market.
Find your season.
Play between November and February for the driest, most comfortable weather. March to May is hot, and the open site gives little shade. The rains from June to October bring afternoon storms and stronger, gustier wind off the river.
It lies in Ban Pho district, Chachoengsao, on the way from Bangkok towards Pattaya. Golfasian estimates around an hour by road from either city, depending on traffic. Suvarnabhumi airport is on the way, so it works as an arrival-day round.
How much are Bangpakong Riverside green fees?

Golfasian lists cart rental at ฿700. Ask for the current price, and whether caddie and cart are included, before you go.
