Pete Dye’s water-ringed Bangkok course, with an island-green 16th and published baht rates.

Subhapruek is one of the few courses near Bangkok with a Pete Dye name on it. It opened in 1993 as Bangna Country Club, beside kilometre 26 of the Bangna–Trad road in Bang Bo, Samut Prakan, and later took its current name. The appeal is simple: a well-kept, flat course where water is in play on almost every hole, published rates in baht, and an easy run from Suvarnabhumi airport on the way to or from Pattaya.
Visitors can book direct by phone on 02 705 6262 to 67 or 065 525 5688, through the club’s Line account (Subhapruekgolf), or on the booking page of the website, which lets you reserve and pay together. Nine-hole rounds are also sold. The current card on the club’s homepage labels the 18-hole price “Play Same Loop”, which suggests an 18-hole round is two laps of one nine for now; if the island-green 16th is the reason you are going, ask which holes are in play. The course is closed every Monday except public holidays. At weekends and on public holidays each reservation must include three to five golfers, so couples should join another group or play on a weekday. Operators such as Golfasian also book rounds with hotel transfers.
Weekend green fee for 18 holes after 11.30 (฿2,050 with caddie ฿450 and cart ฿700); the morning 18-hole green fee is ฿1,400, or ฿2,550 with caddie and cart. 18 holes are listed as “Play Same Loop”.
| Morning, 18 holes (green fee only) | ฿1,400 |
|---|---|
| Morning, 18 holes with caddie and cart | ฿2,550 |
| Weekend after 11.30, 18 holes with caddie and cart | ฿2,050 |
| Morning, 9 holes with caddie and cart | ฿1,600 |
| Weekend after 11.30, 9 holes with caddie and cart | ฿1,400 |
The layout was built on flat, marshy former rice fields and measures about 6,837 yards at par 72. Golfasian describes fairways that look narrow from the tee but open up around the landing areas, and par threes that all play over water. The closing stretch is the reason to come. The 16th is a short par three to a boulder-rimmed island green, the 17th is a short par four that wraps around a lake, and the 18th runs beside water towards a waterfall behind the green. There is also a short 19th hole, used to settle tied matches. Accuracy matters more than length here.
Bring enough balls: water is the main hazard on most holes, and the 16th and 17th punish a pulled shot. Opening hours run late on some days (until 8pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and 9pm on Saturdays), so check the evening slot if you land in the afternoon. The driving range has real-grass tees and, according to Golfasian, floating island targets on water. The restaurant’s highlighted dishes include braised beef soup, Phuket-style fishballs and crispy beef rad na, and there is a coffee shop for a quick stop at the turn.
The club is at 102 Moo 7, Bangna–Trad Road km 26, Bang Bo. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the nearest airport, a short drive west along the same highway. Golfasian puts the course about 50 minutes from downtown Bangkok. Pattaya is roughly an hour and a half south-east by Motorway 7.
Nearby: 1. Siam Country Club Bangkok (6 km) · 2. Thana City Country Club (14 km) · 3. Summit Windmill Golf Club (15 km) · 4. Muang Kaew Golf Course (18 km) · 5. Bangpakong Riverside Country Club (21 km) · 6. Lam Luk Ka Country Club (45 km)
Subhapruek has no rooms of its own. Bangkok’s Bang Na and On Nut districts, near the eastern end of the BTS Sukhumvit line, are the most practical city bases for this side of town. The cluster of airport hotels around Suvarnabhumi suits a round on arrival or departure day.
Summit Windmill, 15 km closer to Bangkok on the same road, offers night golf if you want two rounds in a day. Muang Kaew in Bang Phli is another short hop, and Bangpakong Riverside lies further east towards Chachoengsao. Away from golf, the Ancient City open-air museum in Samut Prakan is a good half-day, and Bang Nam Phueng floating market runs at weekends.
The months from November to February bring lower humidity and little rain. March to May is very hot, so book early. The wet season from about June to October brings afternoon storms, and the low, marshy site can hold water after heavy rain.
Explore golf by monthNo. The club’s booking page says the course closes every Monday, except when Monday is a public holiday. It is open Tuesday to Sunday, from 6.30am on Thursdays and Fridays and later on Sundays, so check the first tee time if you want an early start.
Not on their own. Weekend and public holiday reservations need three to five golfers. A pair can book on a weekday, ask to join another group, or use a Bangkok golf operator that pools players.
Yes. The club credits Pete Dye with the design, which he produced when the course was called Bangna Country Club. Golfasian compares the waterside 18th with the closing hole at his TPC Sawgrass, and the boulder-rimmed island green at the 16th is the other Dye signature.
