There are golf courses that impress, and then there are those that leave a lasting legacy. Siam Country Club’s Old Course belongs firmly in the latter. Opened in 1971 and masterfully renovated by Schmidt-Curley Design in 2007, it is the grand dame of Thai golf — the country’s first privately owned course and a true icon of championship tradition. Tucked into the lush hills just outside Pattaya, the Old Course unfolds with a classic parkland layout, where tree-lined fairways meander through gentle undulations, and mature tamarind and acacia trees frame nearly every shot. It’s a layout that whispers rather than shouts Standout holes include the signature par-5 18th, a sweeping dogleg that finishes dramatically in front of the clubhouse terrace — a natural amphitheater for tournament drama, especially during the Honda LPGA Thailand, which the Old Course has proudly hosted multiple times. This is a course where tradition meets refinement — where every detail, from the conditioning to the caddie service, reflects decades of excellence. Whether you’re chasing birdies or simply soaking in the serene beauty of Thailand’s golf capital, the Old Course remains an essential pilgrimage for the discerning player.
