Phoenix Gold Golf & Country Club
Weekday green fee
3,000THB
Phoenix Gold Golf & Country Club is a 36-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr. design in Nong Chok district, on the eastern fringe of Bangkok. At a weekday green fee of 3,000 THB, it is one of the best-value courses from a world-renowned designer in the Bangkok region. The course was formerly known as the Suvarnabhumi Golf & Country Club (note: a different course from the similarly named facility near the airport). The landscape is markedly different from the lush gardens of more central Bangkok courses — the terrain is flat paddy-field and open marshland with tall reeds, grasses, and a notable population of migratory birds and fish. For nature-minded golfers or those who prefer a course that feels genuinely rural and removed from the city, Phoenix Gold offers that experience within Bangkok's administrative boundaries.

Layout & playing experience
Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s design at Phoenix Gold makes creative use of the flat, open terrain. Water is woven throughout both courses in the form of marshland, channels, and ponds, giving the layout a links-adjacent feel unusual for an inland Bangkok course. Sight lines are long and the course plays exposed to the wind — an element that adds strategic variety not found on more sheltered Bangkok courses. The 36-hole scale allows the club to operate without overcrowding and morning tee times are generally available without the congestion common at central city venues. The overall challenge is appropriate for a broad range of handicaps, with the Jones design's characteristic risk-and-reward par-5s and demanding par-3s providing the highlight holes.
Tips & what to know before you go
Phoenix Gold is the furthest east of the Phase 1 Bangkok courses — allow at least 70 minutes from central Bangkok, more during rush hours. The rural location and bird-rich marshland landscape make it a quieter, more contemplative round than the busier Bangkok-central courses. Weekend rates were not confirmed at time of writing — check the official website or booking platforms for current pricing. The 36-hole scale means early morning availability is generally good even on weekends.
Location & getting there
Phoenix Gold Golf & Country Club is located in Nong Chok district on the eastern edge of Bangkok, approximately 55km and 70 minutes from central Bangkok. The route east via the Suwinthawong Road is the standard approach. Grab is available but confirm pickup from the remote location before booking — a pre-arranged golf transfer may be more reliable for the return journey.
