Siam Country Club Pattaya Plantation

The Waterside Course at Siam Country Club Pattaya Plantation is one of three championship layouts at this expansive golf complex in Chonburi Province, located roughly 90 minutes southeast of Bangkok. Designed by IMG Golf Course Services and opened in the mid-2000s, the course takes its name from the significant water features that define much of the routing. The property sits on relatively flat terrain characteristic of Thailand's eastern coastal plain, with the design incorporating numerous lakes and wetlands that come into play on the majority of holes. The layout emphasizes strategic water hazards and large, undulating greens that require careful approach play and precise distance control. Wide fairways provide generous landing areas off the tee, but the premium is placed on positioning for the second shot, as many greens are protected by water on one or more sides. Bunkers are deployed strategically rather than abundantly, with the primary challenge coming from the risk-reward decisions posed by the water features. Siam Country Club has established itself as a significant tournament venue in Southeast Asia, having hosted multiple editions of the LPGA Thailand Championship and other professional events across its various courses. The Waterside Course serves as one of the rotation layouts for these competitions. The club maintains international membership and attracts golfers from Bangkok's expatriate community as well as visitors to the Pattaya region. The facility offers full resort amenities including accommodations and dining, catering to both local members and destination golfers exploring Thailand's eastern seaboard golf offerings.
