Burapha Golf & Resort
Burapha Golf & Resort is one of the most popular golf destinations in the Pattaya region, offering 36 championship holes designed by architect Gary Panks with input from PGA Tour professional David Graham. The four nine-hole loops — American Wood and British Links forming the East course, and Crystal Spring and Dune forming the West course — were built on rolling terrain close to the Chonburi–Pattaya highway in Si Racha district. The resort gained international recognition as the host venue for the 2010 Thailand Open, and its combination of challenging layouts, well-maintained facilities, and accessible pricing keeps it consistently busy with both Bangkok-based golfers and overseas visitors. The all-inclusive pricing model — green fee, caddie, and cart bundled into a single rate — simplifies the booking process.

Siam Country Club Waterside is an 18-hole, par-72 course that opened in 2014 as the fourth course on the SCC Pattaya complex — and the most recently built. At 7,407 yards, it is the longest of the SCC quartet and is designed around extensive water features that influence play on the majority of holes. The official SCC description positions Waterside as the most approachable of the four courses while still meeting the same championship preparation standards as the Old Course and Plantation. Green fees from golf agents are 5,960 THB on weekdays and 6,960 THB on weekends (all-in including caddie and cart) — pricing that places it in the premium tier but still below the Old Course. Booking is through SCC's reservations team directly or via golf agents; the official website does not display rack rates.
