Burapha Golf’s two championship courses have been designed to take full advantage of the beauty of the land and its natural features - lakes, hills, mature mangoes, coco palms and tropical vegetation.
The courses run across hilly terrain with the East offering a more open and slightly less challenging test than the tighter West.
Length: Mountain - 3,446 yards Lake - 3,419 yards Valley - 3,619 yards

Laem Chabang Golf Club offers three nines of Jack Nicklaus-designed golf winding through the picturesque hills of the southern Thailand countryside.
Each nine lives up to its name with coconut trees and dense vegetation adding colour to the surroundings. Make sure you’re on your game here because the fairways and greens are well guarded with everything from lakes and bunkers to winding creeks and rock formations.
The Mountain’s second hole, a water-fronted, downhill par-three, is about as beautiful and challenging a hole as you can find.
Siam CC Old Course is reminiscent of Augusta National, with wide hitting areas, perfectly manicured winding tree-lined fairways and slick contoured greens. Lakes and creeks run throughout the course as do fruit trees and shrubs. Make sure your short game is on song when you play around here or you could come back down to earth with a bump.
The golf course and clubhouse at Siam Country Club have been completely renovated and officially reopened in May 2007.
The Siam Country Club Plantation Course is routed through rolling terrain, with distant views of Pattaya Beach and the Gulf of Thailand. Formerly a tapioca and pineapple plantation, natural characteristics include rugged ravines and mature trees. The three separate 9’s are Pineapple, Tapioca and Sugarcane.
The Siam Country Club Plantation Course offers a tough challenge, with slick, contoured greens and immaculately maintained fairways and tees. There are also significant elevation changes, long carries, blind shots, elevated greens and giant high-lipped bunkers.
Unique, distinct, and different is Siam Country Club Rolling Hills. As is the case with all Siam Country Club courses, the layout is a core design with no real estate elements. Far removed from many of the rugged and natural designs in fashion today, Rolling Hills’s design is a hybrid of traditional elements and natural courses of the past.
Stunning visuals, and optional lines of attack in a risk reward setting create very memorable holes. Many holes have an abundance of centerline hazards that create strategic and visual excitement. Large waste areas planted with casuarina trees that become pine straw forest, waste bunkers, marsh lands, lotus pools, and lakes are the beautiful features of the golf course.
The Talk of the Town will be No. 15 hole, the “Wall of Death”, a par 5, uphill, and double zig-zag fairway with the green guarded by a 19-foot pit bunker. No. 18 wraps around the lake to another masterpiece clubhouse of Siam Country Club.
Strict environment cares, esthetic beauty, challenge and friendly play are the emphasis of the Waterside design with distinct differences from the famous Old Course and Plantation.
