Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deal with caddies in Thailand? Are they mandatory, and what should I expect?

Yes, caddies are almost always mandatory in Thailand, and they're a huge part of the experience. These ladies are incredibly knowledgeable about the course, from yardage to reading greens, and they'll even keep you hydrated and cool. A typical caddie fee is quite reasonable, usually around 300-400 THB, plus a tip of similar value for good service.

When is the best time to plan a golf trip to Thailand to avoid the heat and rain?

The sweet spot for golf in Thailand is generally from November to February. During these months, you'll find cooler temperatures and much less humidity, making those 18 holes far more enjoyable. Avoid the peak rainy season from July to October if you can, as downpours can be intense and disrupt play.

How much does a round of golf typically cost in Thailand, and is it good value?

Golf in Thailand offers fantastic value, especially compared to Western prices. You can expect green fees to range from 1,500 THB to 4,000 THB ($45-$120 USD) at most reputable courses, with premium championship courses sometimes going higher. This usually includes your green fee, cart, and mandatory caddie, making it an incredibly affordable luxury.

What kind of golf courses can I expect to play in Thailand, and are there any unique experiences?

Thailand's courses are incredibly diverse, from lush jungle layouts carved into mountains to manicured resort courses near the coast. You'll find designs by legends like Jack Nicklaus and Robert Trent Jones Jr., often featuring dramatic elevation changes and stunning water features. Don't miss the chance to try night golf at some courses, a truly unique way to beat the heat and enjoy a different atmosphere.

How easy is it to get around to different golf courses in Thailand, especially for a first-timer?

Getting to courses is generally straightforward, especially if you're staying in major golf hubs like Bangkok, Phuket, or Pattaya. Many resorts offer shuttle services, or you can easily arrange private transfers or use ride-hailing apps like Grab. We recommend pre-booking your tee times and transfers, especially during peak season, to ensure a smooth experience.
