Alpine Golf & Sports Club

Alpine Golf & Sports Club is widely regarded as one of the finest golf courses in Thailand and among the best in Asia. Designed by Ronald M. Garl and built on former rice paddy fields in Pathum Thani province, the course has been sculpted into a rolling, elevated landscape that belies its flat origins. Alpine earned its international reputation by hosting the 2000 Johnnie Walker Classic, won by Tiger Woods — one of the most prestigious events ever held in Thailand. The greens consistently run at Stimpmeter speeds of 10.5 or higher, making precision putting essential. Green fees are at the premium end of the Bangkok market, reflecting the course's conditioning and prestige.

The RG City Golf Club

The RG City Golf Club (formerly Royal Gems Golf City) offers one of the most unusual golf experiences in Thailand and the world. The 18-hole, par-71 Dream Arena course is a replica layout: the front nine recreates famous signature holes from courses around the globe — including the island 17th at TPC Sawgrass, the Road Hole at St Andrews, and the Postage Stamp at Royal Troon — while the back nine mirrors holes 10–18 of Augusta National. The full facility contains 63 holes, claimed to be the world's largest replica golf complex. For international visitors, it offers the novelty of playing iconic holes without the travel, membership requirements, or green fees those originals demand. It is a genuinely unique golfing experience with no direct equivalent elsewhere in Asia.
