Bangpakong Course

Bang Pakong Golf Club

Takham, Chachoengsao, TH

About this course

Bang Pakong Golf Club lies in Takham, Chachoengsao Province, in the eastern region of Thailand, roughly 100 kilometers southeast of Bangkok. The course was developed by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), reflecting the country's mid-to-late twentieth-century expansion of recreational infrastructure alongside industrial development. The setting is characteristic of Thailand's central plains transitioning toward coastal lowlands, with relatively flat terrain punctuated by water features typical of the region's irrigation and reservoir systems. The layout reflects the practical design approach common to courses built by state utilities and development agencies in Southeast Asia during that era. Water hazards and wetland areas feature prominently throughout the routing, serving both aesthetic and functional purposes within the broader landscape. The course is set within a landscape of palms, tropical vegetation, and managed grounds that blend the built course with the surrounding agricultural and semi-rural character of Chachoengsao Province. Bang Pakong has served primarily as a regional venue for Thai golfers and visiting players from Bangkok seeking courses outside the capital. While not a major tournament destination on the international circuit, it remains a functional and established member club within Thailand's golf landscape. The course offers a straightforward test of golf suited to the local playing community, with the flat terrain and water-defined holes creating a distinctly Thai character that differs markedly from the dramatic elevation changes found in championship courses built on more dramatic topography.

Getting there

Bang Pakong Golf Club is most readily accessed via Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), Bangkok's primary international gateway, situated roughly ninety kilometers southwest of the club; the drive northeast through Thailand's central plains typically requires two to two-and-a-half hours, threading past rural villages and agricultural land before arriving in Chachoengsao Province. For those seeking a more direct approach, U-Tapao International Airport (UTP) near Pattaya offers a closer alternative, though with fewer international connections. The final stretch into Takham unfolds as a quiet transition from highway commerce into the quieter rhythms of provincial Thailand, where the club's manicured grounds emerge as an oasis of refined golf amid the lush, unhurried landscape of the Eastern Seaboard.
