Dragon Hills Golf & Country Club
Dragon Hills Golf & Country Club is a Jim Engh design built across 1,500 acres of jungle-clad mountainside in Pak Tho District, Ratchaburi Province — though it is consistently grouped with Kanchanaburi and River Kwai courses on booking platforms due to its location and character. The course opened in 1994 and remains one of the most geographically dramatic layouts within 90 minutes of Bangkok, where the official visitor package of 1,560 THB on weekdays and 1,750 THB on weekends — including caddie and cart — places it among the best-value serious golf experiences in the region. (Thai nationals pay lower dual-pricing rates.) The site's elevation and forested terrain produce a playing experience far removed from the flat parkland courses that dominate Bangkok's closer suburbs, making it a frequent destination for golfers who want meaningful terrain without a long drive.

Grand Prix Golf Club opened in 2011 as one of the more distinctively themed layouts in Thailand. Designed by Prayard Chinnaraj and Prachin Eamlumnow, the course is built around a motorsport concept: each of the 18 holes carries the name of an automobile brand, and the golf carts are sports-rim buggies styled to match the theme. The course is located in Bo Phloi District, approximately 160 kilometres from Bangkok — about two hours by road. At 7,136 yards from the back tees over a par-72 layout, it offers a full-length challenge. Green fees are 1,600 THB on weekdays and 2,100 THB on weekends, with both caddie (400 THB) and cart (600 THB) compulsory. The club also operates a 50-room hotel on-site and offers night golf, making it a practical base for golfers who want a full overnight stay rather than a day trip.
