Navatanee Course


Navatanee Golf Course opened in 1987 as one of Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s early designs in Southeast Asia, situated in the Ramintra district of northern Bangkok. The course occupies relatively flat terrain typical of the Bangkok basin, with Jones incorporating substantial earthmoving to create elevation changes and strategic interest across the layout. Water features prominently throughout the routing, reflecting both the natural hydrology of the region and Jones's design philosophy of using lakes and canals to define playing corridors and frame green complexes. The design emphasizes strategic shot-making through the placement of water hazards and bunkers that require careful course management. Multiple holes feature forced carries over water, while others present risk-reward options for players willing to challenge hazards for better approach angles. The greens are characteristically large with subtle internal contours, demanding precise iron play and thoughtful putting. Mature tree plantings now frame many fairways, adding definition and aesthetic character to what began as open agricultural land. Navatanee has served as a venue for professional tournaments on the Asian Tour and has hosted various regional amateur championships, establishing itself among Bangkok's more competitive golf facilities. The club maintains a membership structure that includes both Thai nationals and expatriate residents, with practice facilities and dining amenities typical of established private clubs in the Bangkok metropolitan area. The course remains one of the more recognized Jones designs in Thailand's capital region.
The gateway to Navatanee Golf Course is Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok's gleaming international hub roughly 45 kilometers south of the club, though the older Don Mueang Airport lies marginally closer to the north depending on your carrier. From either terminus, the drive threads through Bangkok's sprawling eastern suburbs before turning into the quieter reaches of Kwaeng Ramintra, where the urban density gradually softens into pockets of green. The final approach reveals Navatanee's mature tree canopy rising above the neighborhood - a serene, almost unexpected oasis tucked within the capital's outer ring, where the hum of the city fades beneath the rustle of palms and the distant call of fairway play.
