Khao Kheow Country Club sits in a valley in the hills behind Si Racha, close to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo. It opened in 1992 with 27 holes credited to Pete Dye, and it shows his hand: mounding, ponds, small, tilted greens and a par three on an island. It is about an hour from Bangkok and 45 minutes from Pattaya. That makes it a good first or last round of a trip, or a day out from the capital, and it is usually quieter than the courses in Pattaya itself.
Khao Kheow Country Club green fees and tee times.
Khao Kheow does not publish green fees online, and listings from agents and booking sites disagree, so ask for a written quote. Email info@khaokheowgolf.com, phone +66 38 318 000, or message the club’s Facebook page. Say which nines you want, and ask for B if the island green is the reason you are going. Pattaya and Bangkok golf agents include Khao Kheow in packages, and a green-fee package is also sold on KKday, with caddie and cart included and the tip paid on the day. Where2Golf says every player uses a caddie and carts are available for hire, and Golfasian lists the cart at ฿600; confirm this when you book. At weekends the starter sends out fourballs at most; on weekdays Golfasian says groups of five are allowed.
The round, in perspective.
The three nines are labelled A, B and C. Golfasian gives 7,077 yards at par 72, and one third-party source specifies that card as A plus B. Most sources credit Pete Dye, though Where2Golf’s listing names Perry Dye. The course plays along a valley between rolling hills, and the wind is often a factor. Large ponds, bunkers and mounds line the fairways, and the small greens have plenty of slope, so approach play and putting decide the score. On A, the par-four 7th asks for a long carry over water from the tee to a thin sliver of fairway. On B, a par three plays to an island green, which Golfasian compares to the 17th at TPC Sawgrass.

Make the trip work.
With no published rate card, the best approach is to get two quotes, one from the club and one from an agent, and compare what each includes. If you are staying in Bangkok, Khao Kheow works as a day trip, and it fits well on the way to or from Suvarnabhumi Airport at either end of a Pattaya week. The main restaurant overlooks the B nine. There is a driving range, and Golfasian lists rental sets at ฿1,200, shoes at ฿400 and umbrellas at ฿100.
Where2Golf gives the address as 220/15 Moo 12, Bang Phra, Si Racha, in the hills near Khao Kheow Open Zoo. Golfasian puts it about an hour from Bangkok and 45 minutes from Pattaya, and it is on the road towards Suvarnabhumi (BKK), the obvious airport.
Khao Kheow has no rooms of its own. Si Racha is the nearest town, with business hotels and seafood restaurants on the waterfront. Golfers splitting time between Bangkok and the coast can stay in Bang Saen, a Thai beach town to the north, or travel from Pattaya, which has the widest choice.
Make a trip of it.
Burapha and Laem Chabang International are 20 to 30 minutes south. Bangpra International Golf Club is a few kilometres to the west. Non-golfers can spend the day at Khao Kheow Open Zoo, a large open-plan zoo a short drive from the club.
Find your season.
The cooler, dry season from November to February is the most comfortable. In the valley, March and April can feel especially still and hot, though the course often has wind. Rain falls mainly between May and October, usually in the afternoon.
Does Khao Kheow Country Club have an island green?
Yes. A par three on the B nine plays to a green surrounded by water. Golfasian compares it to the 17th at TPC Sawgrass and rates it one of Thailand’s best island-green holes, so ask for B when you book.
How far is Khao Kheow Country Club from Bangkok?
About an hour by Motorway 7, according to Golfasian, and about 45 minutes from Pattaya. It is near Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Si Racha district, on the Bangkok side of the coast.
How much are Khao Kheow green fees?
The club does not publish them, and online listings vary widely. Email info@khaokheowgolf.com or ask an agent for a quote that lists the green fee, caddie and cart separately before you commit.
