Lam Luk Ka Country Club lies among the numbered irrigation canals of Pathum Thani, north-east of Bangkok, with two full 18-hole courses and rarely enough golfers to fill them. That is its appeal. Tee times are easier to find than at the city’s busier clubs, Golfasian describes the green fees as lower than at most Bangkok courses, and the East Course has hosted a Thailand PGA Championship and Asian Tour qualifying. The trade-off is distance: it is a longer drive than most Bangkok rounds, and the clubhouse shows its age.
Lam Luk Ka Country Club green fees and tee times.
Visitors can play every day. The club’s phone line is listed as +66 (0)2 995 2300, though its old website no longer works, so most overseas golfers book through Golfasian, which confirms times with the club, or through online platforms such as GolfSavers and Pelago. Pelago asks for at least three days’ notice and gives no refunds for no-shows or same-day changes. Golfasian allows groups of five on weekdays and four at weekends. Tell the booking agent which course you want; the East Course is the one with the tournament pedigree. Golfasian lists carts at ฿700 and rental sets at ฿1,000.
The round, in perspective.
American architect Roger Packard designed both courses, which opened in 1994. The Championship East Course combines the A and B nines and is the longer of the two at 7,012 yards; the Resort West Course, on the C and D nines, measures 6,605 yards. Both are par 72. The East is the stronger test. Its 7th and 8th are long par fours that often play into the prevailing breeze, and its back nine, which Golfasian rates among the best in Thailand, finishes with a short, risk-and-reward par five whose green is guarded by a deep front bunker. The West Course is more forgiving off the tee, but water is in play on 15 of its holes, and its 18th has a creek crossing the fairway. The ground is flat wetland, so wind and water do the defending.

Grass driving range and two short-game greens
Make the trip work.
Book a mid-morning start rather than the first tee time; GolfSavers warns that very early slots mean a very early wake-up given the drive. The grass driving range and two chipping and putting greens are good for a warm-up. The restaurant overlooks the East 18th, and the club has an Olympic-sized pool, which is welcome after a hot round. With 36 holes, a 27- or 36-hole day is realistic if you ask when booking.
The club is at 29 Moo 7, Lam Sai, Lam Luk Ka, near Khlong 11. Golfasian puts it about 70 minutes from central Bangkok. Don Mueang is the closer airport, roughly 30 km away in a straight line, and Suvarnabhumi is a little further. You need a car and driver; there is no public transport worth relying on.
There is no resort hotel at the club, so most visitors stay in Bangkok and drive out, ideally from the northern side of the city, where Chatuchak and Lat Phrao hotels give a quicker run onto the ring roads. Rangsit and the Future Park area of Pathum Thani have plain business hotels closer to the course.
Make a trip of it.
Alpine Golf Club, another Pathum Thani course, and Royal Bang Pa-In near Ayutthaya are both within about an hour, so this corner of Bangkok can fill two or three days. Riverdale and Bangkok Golf Club are a similar distance west. Off the course, Dream World theme park is on the Rangsit–Nakhon Nayok road nearby, and Ayutthaya’s temple ruins make a full day out.
Find your season.
Golf is most comfortable from November to February, when mornings are cool and dry. March to May is the hottest period, and the open wetland offers little shade. In the rainy months, roughly June to October, expect storms in the afternoon; low-lying Pathum Thani was badly hit by the 2011 floods.
The Championship East Course, on the A and B nines, is longer at 7,012 yards and hosted the 2002 Thailand PGA Championship. The West Course, on the C and D nines, is shorter at 6,605 yards but has water on 15 holes. Both are par 72 and both are open to visitors.
How far is Lam Luk Ka Country Club from Bangkok?
About 70 minutes from central Bangkok by road, according to Golfasian, depending on traffic. It is in Lam Luk Ka district of Pathum Thani, north-east of the city. Don Mueang is the nearer airport.
Is it easy to get a tee time at Lam Luk Ka?
Generally, yes. GolfSavers notes that with 36 holes it is fairly easy to secure a tee time, though one reviewer in 2026 reported a slow back nine behind two groups of six. Book through Golfasian or an online golf platform, and allow a few days’ notice for package bookings.
