Kumlung-Ake Golf Course
Kumlung-Ake Golf Course is a nine-hole public golf facility at Sri Song Ruk Military Camp in Mueang Loei District, Loei Province — in northeastern Thailand, approximately 500 kilometres from Bangkok. Note that despite the 'Ake' suffix, this course has no connection to the Muang Ake golf group in Pathum Thani; the name is coincidental. The course is a modest, grassroots facility built on military land and open to the public, serving the local Loei population who otherwise have limited golf access in this mountainous northeastern province. Green fees are nominal — older published figures show roughly 100–150 THB per nine-hole loop for visitors plus a small caddie fee, though current rates are not published online and should be confirmed locally. It serves as a community amenity rather than a visitor destination. The surrounding Loei Province is notable for its cool mountain climate — the coldest temperatures in Thailand occur here during winter months — and the provincial capital is known for Phu Kradueng National Park.

Layout & playing experience
The nine-hole layout is set on relatively flat meadowland terrain within the military camp grounds, surrounded by trees and modest landscape features characteristic of the Loei valley. As a nine-hole facility, a full round requires playing the holes twice. Course conditioning is consistent with a community public facility — functional but not at resort standards. The primary appeal is accessibility and price: caddies are available and club hire on-site means golfers can play without any equipment. The course is infrequently visited by international tourists, making it a genuinely local experience with all the social character that implies.
Tips & what to know before you go
Kumlung-Ake is primarily a local community facility and visiting Bangkok-based golfers are unlikely to make the 6–7 hour drive specifically for this course. For golfers already in Loei — visiting Phu Kradueng, Phu Rua National Park, or the Loei Phantom Festival — a round here is a pleasant and inexpensive addition. Club hire at approximately 300 THB makes it easy to play without carrying clubs. Phone the club in advance (+66 42 811 939) to confirm current operating hours, as information is limited online.
