Weekend: 1,199 THB
Phoenix Gold Golf Bangkok — opened in 1993 as President Country Club, later known as Suvarnabhumi Golf & Country Club, and now trading under the Phoenix Gold brand shared with its Pattaya sister course — is a 36-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr. design in Nong Chok, on the eastern fringe of Bangkok. Trent Jones Jr. designed three courses in the Bangkok area and this is the most expansive: four nine-hole championship loops offering multiple combination plays, each with a distinct character so that no two rounds repeat. The setting is genuinely rural: paddy fields, marshland and tall reeds provide an agricultural backdrop that feels far removed from the city despite sitting inside Bangkok's administrative boundaries, and the wetland supports a notable population of migratory birds and fish. At booking-platform rates of roughly 999 THB weekday including the caddie, with the cart charged separately, it is one of the cheapest Trent Jones designs in the Bangkok region.

Layout & playing experience
The four nines (playable in North/East/West/South combinations) extend to 7,059 yards at par 72 from the gold tees, with a slope of 128 and a rating of 73 — figures that confirm genuine challenge. Trent Jones Jr.'s Bangkok courses are known for large, fast greens, and Phoenix Gold follows that pattern. Fairways are wider and tree coverage sparser than on many Bangkok layouts, creating broad vistas across the rural landscape and honest sight lines that expose wayward drives. Water is woven throughout in the form of marshland, channels and ponds, giving the layout a links-adjacent feel unusual for an inland Bangkok course, and the open ground means the wind is a real factor. Dog-legs and carries over water demand strategic tee shots on the more demanding holes, and the Bermuda rough punishes a miss. The Jones design's characteristic risk-and-reward par-5s and exacting par-3s provide the highlight holes, and the course still plays fairly for a broad range of handicaps. The 36-hole scale means early morning tee times are generally available even on weekends, without the congestion common at central city venues. The Hole-In-One coffee shop on site is a pleasant post-round stop.
Tips & what to know before you go
Booking platforms list green fee plus caddie at roughly 999 THB weekday and 1,199 THB weekend, with carts 600 THB extra — search under the current name, Phoenix Gold Golf Bangkok, as older listings still use Suvarnabhumi Golf & Country Club or President Country Club. The higher rack rates shown on the shared phoenixgoldgolf.com website refer to the Pattaya course, not this one. Caddies are compulsory. Advance booking is required — minimum one day on weekdays, two days at weekends — so plan ahead even though tee times are usually there. Allow at least 70 minutes from central Bangkok, and more in rush hour. Grab is available but confirm a return pickup before you travel — a pre-arranged transfer is more reliable from this part of the city.
Location & getting there
Phoenix Gold Golf Bangkok is located at 54 Moo 5, Suwinthawong Road (Soi Suwinthawong 96), Lam Toi Ting, Nong Chok, Bangkok 10530. Despite the Bangkok address, the course sits in the far eastern reaches of the province, roughly 55 km and 70 minutes from the city centre. By car, take the Bang Na Expressway east toward Chonburi, then head north toward Nong Chok via Suwinthawong Road. Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) lies about 19 km to the south-west in a straight line, and the drive is longer than that figure suggests — allow 30–40 minutes. That still makes it workable around a late-afternoon flight, though several Bangkok courses sit considerably closer to the terminal. No public transport serves the area directly.
