Sugar Cane at Siam Country Club Pattaya Plantation

The Sugar Cane Course at Siam Country Club Pattaya Plantation is a Lee Schmidt design located in the Pong district of Chonburi Province, east of Bangkok. Schmidt, known for his work throughout Asia, created this layout as part of the Siam Country Club complex, which has established itself as one of Thailand's premier golf destinations. The course takes its name from the former agricultural use of the land, with the routing carved from what were once sugar cane fields.

The terrain features rolling topography with elevation changes that provide strategic interest and varied shot requirements. Schmidt incorporated natural water features and created additional hazards that come into play on multiple holes, demanding accuracy from the tee and on approach shots. The design emphasizes width in landing areas while protecting scoring opportunities with well-positioned bunkering and water hazards near greens. Mature trees and tropical vegetation frame many holes, creating definition and adding to the visual character of the layout.

Siam Country Club's facilities serve both local members and international visitors, with the complex hosting multiple courses that attract golfers traveling to the Pattaya region. The club has developed a reputation for course conditioning and maintenance standards that meet expectations for resort and tournament-quality golf in Southeast Asia. The Sugar Cane Course complements the other layouts at the property, offering a distinct routing and design character within the Siam Country Club portfolio.
