I played this course over Chinese New Year and was told that if you are not an 18hcp or lower do not play... I did anyway and enjoyed my round thoroughly although it is a tough course it is well maintained. The par 6 with two shots over the water is bit ridiculous though.

A difficult course, fairway seems wide, but you must drive accurately. 2 par 6 holes are challenging and interseting . The conditions of greens and fairways are better than 2 years ago, but caddies and house facility can improve!

The best golfing experience I have had - spectacular in places. It would have been better with a knowledgeable caddie, paricularly for example on the first par 6, which is a novelty, not a golf hole. The use of carts is necessary, however sharing without a smart caddy, can mean that you end up with the wrong club in your hand and your bag gone - club selection is vital on this course. Bunkers play a large part of design and could be better maintained. Greens were generally slow and a little inconsistent in pace. Overall - brilliant and with the package deals available, outstanding value.

Golf is very good condition. But not expect any good welcome from all staff if you are Thai person. They all provide very bad service with bad face when they know you are Thai person.

I played here in feb 2005 and I intend to play here again in March 2006.Why? Quite simply I cannot remember when I enjoyed a days golf more. The course may be quirky in places but it's a fantastic challenge. Our caddies did a super job and joined in all the laughs. They fully deserved their large tip because their expertise was the key to us all playing well. I have lived on the story of my Birdie 5 for nearly a year and I am up for the challenge again. Are you?

Wow! Don't get suckered in by the breathtaking views. You need to be on top of your game or you'll go home with your tail between your legs. Cheer up!

An extremely beuteful cource, but a little bit to hard for me, hcp 18. Two par 6-holes is at least one to much.

this is my favourite golf course in the world! fantastic vistas, challenges, caddies, fairways. holes 3,6,9,14,15 and 17 all great. hole 4 needs a little tinkering to get it right but can be done. do it! if you do not enjoy this course then you are either a stick in the mud or your skill is insufficient to play here. it is difficult for inaccurate or short hitters..... but the scorecard says that anyone over handicap 18 might struggle, so you have been warned. try also the course next door. rayong green valley is worth a visit.

First time our group played here and what a great course!! A real challenge and you have to be on top of your game. My caddie was very good. Her yardages and 'read' of the greens was spot-on. Now we know the layout, can't wait to get back.

Carts compulsory for a valid reason. Only 18Hcp n better should play ,as very difficult. Course is in stunning condition. A real test . Clubhouse share with GV n 4 different restaurants are available . Golflodge available .

Played this course 2 times 21.02 and 25.02. Great course, I experienced something new on each hole. Greens and fairways were well maintained. Made my 2.nd eagle ever on hole nr.7. Really fun. Caddies were good but they are better on LCB. Par 6 were tough but reachable. I`m going to play this course next year as well.

There is very nice golf course and perfect design. It would be the longest and very challenging from back tee. Most of green are soft and spinning, but many cadies are stiff as a poker never smile. However there is worth to play for any low handicap golfer, except the beginner. (20/SEP/2005)

Weeellll,what "superlative" would you like to read,this golfcourse weeds out those who think they can,( 3 figured scorecard) from those who can,but don't think (3 figured scorecard)or in other words,your true hcp experience,anyone for real golf !!!.

This is my favorite golfcourse of all I played in Pattaya area. The golfcourse is in exellent shape. It offers some great background scenery. One definitively needs his A-game for full enjoyment. I've never been to a course that recommends a 18 HCP or lower, but it doesn't seem to be exaggerated. Fortunately I had a good day. The most notable feature on the golfcourse are the split fairways on different levels (seen on 4 holes). About the par 6's : They are not the greatest holes on the course, but still enjoyable. On number 4 (par six)I thought I was on in 6, but both caddies said 7, and they were right. A buggy I think is needed to drive from the green to the next tee.

A very, different course from all the others i played. Very high placed and small greens with bunkers around , some times steeps 6-8 m upp to green from bunker.... Some water holes you have to carry 170m Interesting layout a different challenge that was a nice experience,, some thing to remeber and gossip around .... Some thing you dont forget....! Play it !

I played in January 2005, on Tuesday i played Rayong Green Valley and i was very impressed, on Wednesday i played St.Andrews and i was a bit dissapointed, it was more then double the price with compulsory golfcards, so one could expect something. But i like Rayong Green Valley better then St.Andrews. The Green where very slow, and the first par 6 is not a very good hole. If i have the choice i will rather play Rayong Green Valley or Phoenix then St.Andrews. The Layout is interesting, the scenery and maintenance are breathtaking, but it's too expensive with the stupid policy of compulsory golfcards?? I hope they will not follow on the other golfcourse with compulsory golfcards!
