Spent 3 days playing at this course during a 2 week stay in December 2008. The course is very busy but that is to be expected. It is an excellent course for all golfers with some unusual tees (the middle of a lake) and a lot of water hazards on one 9. Caddies were very knowledgeable and knew their stuff. |

Whole course is a bit wet, fairway, green (in Dec/Jan!). A lot of lakes. Club house is old but good. Caddies are more proffessional than other places. A bit slow play; no course marshall. |

30/3/07 Course is nice but too much golfer caused traffic jam. Caddies suggested us to play the 1st 9 hole once again but rejected by us. Caddies was no experience and always slugged under the tree. The ladies changing room was horrible. |

I played the course on a Sunday morning (May 20. 2007) and was paired up with the owner of the course. It was very interesting and I had a good day of golf, the course is beautiful but the greens might be better kept/cut. My caddie (407) was very good with good advice and sense of the course. I would recommend this golf course to others playing around Bangkok.

Played night golf on Friday March 17th. 1. Greens were baaaaddddd. Bumpy and slowwwwww. 2. Speed of play: Terrible. Don't know how they manage the traffic. Had to wait for 4 group at the turn (From South to North course) 3. Lighting were not enough for few tee boxes. 4. Caddies were O.K. The course is overused. Looks so beaten-up. Way too much money to ask for if this is the best they could do to maintain the course. Will never go back and spend my own money there. |

I played there yesterday (8/3/49) with 3 other friends and we had a good time overall. The course isn't hard at all and good for golfers with high handicaps. I just think it is highly overrated because the greens aren't well maintained, the grass is too long and the caddies are extremely impolite.I was the only lucky one to have a decent caddie and she was probably the best out of them. One of them wanted my friend's MB number and probably wanted him to play in the 19th hole. Anyway, it is a very commercially oriented course and it needs to be maintained. That's all I can say. |

Accept the fact that the game will move very slowly here, and the course that have been played almost 18 hours/day can't be perfect. Providing that you are not in a hurry then the game at the Pinehurst will be fun, caddy is the best part of this course. |

Played a round of night golf on 28 Dec, everything seems fine except caddy who was too exhuasted to walk with us for another round. Therefore we were forced to use carts. Caddy doesn't know very much about either distance or line, "just pick the club you can hit" she said. Green & Fairway was fair with some top-soil & dead grass |

Greens in very bad condition, mainly due to the amount of traffic scuff marks everywhere as well as poor to nonexistent grass; 6 plus hours totally unacceptable – extremely bad management and marshalling “sorry non-existing” complain = answer this is Thailand ,must rate as the worst course of the 100+ I’ve played in Thailand. I would have more entertainment and excitement sitting in one of Bangkok’s worst traffic jams |

I've golfed here 10 times or so in the last 3 years because I enjoy our group of caddies and the layout of the course, the night golf, and conveinent location from Sukhumvit area. BUT the Worse thing is Two Tier pricing for farangs. No one can give a reason for this. They obvioulsy do not want Farangs playing there. You can not book a tee time for only two players so you have to wait in the past after 15 minutes or so they let us go on UNTIL yesterday we waited for an hour to hook up with two other players. I rarely see other farangs there as well. Taksin plays there so that would help explain the discrimination policy. Overall course maintenence is poor, greens are variable, some greens are 70% sand to promote grass growth and it is like putting on a parking lot. Caddies are fun because we know them. But their policy and service SUCKS!! If you are a white guy don't waste you time unless you want to go there to harrass them about their discrimination policy and poor servie and attitude. |

Course is OK but caddy no.97 was not interested to serve golfer. She was just talking to the phone although her job was to serve us. She called every hole. Please realize that serving customers is very important. |

Played on 11 Sep 2005 (Sunday). The course was very crowed. Playing very slowly. The fairway anf tee box were very bad. Grass too long and fairway full of water after heavy rain.

I play on 11 Sept 05, very disappointed. Fairway is similar to rough, grass very long, couldn't see ball even it is on fairway. Green is yellow, no grass. It is obviously lack of maintanence and taking care. However, highly appreciated caddies, they are quite good. Other than caddies, Not recommend! Poor! |

Gentlemen, I enjoyed a round at Pinehurst during June 2005 while on vacation. Course in very good condition, caddy was courteous and helpful, and pace of play was fine. Overall quite a good experience and I'll be back next year! Thanks for the great job. |

I love this course. Not so many insects during winter night. The caddies are young and lovely, good to walk or talk with. The speed of play is rather problematic especially when the old caddy in your group wants to get back home fast and then destroys the peaceful feeling with her complaint to the marshall without any master's request. The greens in the South wing are very tricky but fun to work with. The Karaoke is the best one in town. In general: select an a-rom-dee caddy and enjoy the course.

We playednighgolf at Pinehurst yesterday togethere with two thai friends. They paid a greenfee at 960, while we as faranf had to pay 1300!!! I can not believe that such a nice Golf Course has such discriminating rules- we live here and ar students, and still we ahve to pay more than those filthy rich Thai people that plyas here- just beacuse we are farang. That is so rude and unproffesional! |
