Siam Country Club (Old Course)
The championship parkland that hosts the LPGA in Thailand each year — a modern Schmidt-Curley test with wickedly contoured greens that any visitor can play.

Can I play Siam Country Club (Old Course)?
Yes — the Old Course is a daily-fee course that readily sells visitor tee times, even though the LPGA's Honda LPGA Thailand is staged here each year. Travelling golfers book a green fee directly or through a Pattaya golf operator and play the same championship layout as the tour pros. It is one of the most sought-after rounds in the Pattaya region.
How to book: Reserve online or via a golf-tour agent; book a few days ahead in the November–February high season and around the tournament window in February/March when the course closes for the event. A caddie is compulsory and a cart is typically added. Weekend rates run higher than weekdays.
About Siam Country Club (Old Course)
Founded in 1971 as Thailand's first international-standard golf club and given a complete Schmidt-Curley redesign in 2006–07, Siam Country Club's Old Course is a mature parkland layout routed through established trees. Since 2007 it has hosted the Honda LPGA Thailand, and its firm, run-off greens have become the tournament's trademark challenge. Owned by the Siam Motors group, it plays to over 7,000 yards and a 74.1 rating from the back tees yet remains a daily-fee course open to visiting golfers. It is widely regarded as one of the best conditioned and most enjoyable rounds in the Pattaya area.
Signature hole
The undulating, run-off greens rebuilt in the 2007 renovation are the defining feature — the closing par-4 18th, where the Honda LPGA Thailand is regularly decided, is the one the pros fear most.
What makes it special
Home of the LPGA in Thailand

Schmidt-Curley greens
The 2007 redesign created fast, heavily contoured greens with run-offs that define the course's challenge.
Play where the pros play
