Not only is the choice of golf courses in Thailand very good, the cost of playing them is very attractive.  However, it’s not just the cost of the golf which is favourable, the price of hotels, shopping and eating, make Thailand excellent value for money in terms of a golf holiday.

  1. The Weather

Thailand is open to visitors all year-round and the golf courses operate throughout the 12 months.  November to February is peak time, when it’s dry and between 20 and 25 degrees but golf can also be played for the remainder of the year, with rain coming in short bursts and courses drying out quickly during the wet season.

  1. Caddies

One of the most unique and unforgettable features of playing golf in Thailand, are the caddies.  On the majority of golf courses in the country, caddies are compulsory but they provide great insight into the golf course and will definitely save you a couple of shots, especially if you are playing a course for the first time.

  1. Food

Local Thai food is simply amazing and there is no better way to finish a round of golf, than ordering a freshly made Thai dish in the clubhouse.  The majority of golf courses in Thailand come with at least one restaurant, if not more and once you have tried Thai food, you will never go back.
