Best Bangkok-Area Golf Courses for Beginners

Beginner-friendly Thai courses share three things: an on-site driving range to warm up, a green fee that doesn’t make a bad first round expensive, and forgiving fairways that don’t punish a thin shot with a lost ball. These are our picks within 90 minutes of Bangkok.
