Alpine Golf Club

At Alpine Golf Club , you will feel warmly welcome to experience the true sensation of playing golf in Thailand's one of the best international golf course.

Created originally from flat rice paddy fields to a hilly and undulating layout, Alpine Golf Club is Thailand's one of finest golf courses with over 3 years of proven experience of offering its members a new dimension of golf challenge beyond expectation. The course was designed by one of the world's most renowned architects Mr. Ron M. Garl. Once he set feet on the 770-rai flat open land of Today's Alpine Golf Club, the architect's vision was to build Thailand's one and only man-made hilly championship golf course. The course designer came up with carrying out the impossible task of building grass-covered hills on the vast flatlands, topped by hundreds of hand-picked trees and refined with high-grade sand. All these were aimed to introduce golfers to many unexpected golf challenges at Alpine Club.

In view of his extensive experience of creating a hilly layout from flat terrains in Florida, Mr. Ron M. Garl was chosen to build this unique golf course in Northern Bangkok where golf challenges will be offered to all golfers. Alpine Golf Club is in fact the first project in Asia ever carried out by this well-known architect. His concept was to build a hilly golf course amidst fresh air, beautiful lakes and dazzling tree-lined scenery. This championship layout measures 7,100 yards in length with par 72. Good shots will be rewarded while badly placed shots held subject to costly penalties. Golfers privileged to play on Alpine golf course will have an unforgettable experience of having their golf skills challenged.

Hills may remind you of fairway places like Chiang Mai, Hua Hin or even Myrtle Beach. Located only a 15-minute drive from the Bangkok International Airport is this picturesque hilly golf course created from flat rice paddy fields. Difficulties can be found in an extensive number of challenges offered at Alpine golf course not in how to get to the course itself. Each swing must be precisely calculated to avoid costly penalties. At Alpine Golf Club, your golf experience can always be fulfilled.

You may want to practise several swings in stunning scenery before heading off to measure your real performance in Alpine Golf's 18 hols of fame. Personal victory will ultimately be yours when you can cross the stretch of each fairway and overcome each and every obstacle carefully located for the sign-off performance on the green. All these were designed exclusively for Alpine Golf Club, incorporating course features from the world's many leading golf courses.
Your precision will be well tested on Alpine's tricky greens in reclining slopes behind hills or on bunkers or the lake beyond.

Undoubtedly, challenges at Alpine Golf Club made Alpine the venue of the 13th Asian Games in 1998 and for other important international tournaments such as the Thailand Major Open Tournament of 1997 and 1998, Thai Airways PGA Tournament and Johnnie Walker Classic Tournament in 2000.
