Forest Hills Country Club
Weekday package

Weekend: 1,600 THB
Forest Hills Country Club — today marketed as Sir James Country Club, named after Sir James Richard Holt — is a 27-hole resort course in Muak Lek district, Saraburi province, sitting along the Mittraphap Road corridor approximately 90 minutes northeast of Bangkok. Designed by John William Rogers and Pichai Vichupas and opened in 1993, the course offers an accessible day-trip proposition: current booking-platform packages run around 1,350 THB weekdays and 1,600 THB weekends all-in, including caddie and a single-rider cart. A customary caddie tip (400 THB minimum) applies on top. The 27-hole layout provides enough variety for a full day or multiple-round visit, and the on-site hotel — a 4-star property with over 100 rooms — makes Forest Hills a practical choice for groups or golfers who prefer to stay overnight rather than drive back to Bangkok.

Layout & playing experience
The 27-hole parkland layout is divided into three nine-hole loops, allowing golfers to play any combination of 18 holes across a mature, tree-lined landscape. Rogers and Vichupas's design works with the natural terrain of the Muak Lek valley, incorporating water features and strategic bunkering that reward accuracy off the tee and precision on approach. Caddies are mandatory and carry genuine value on a layout with 27 holes, where local knowledge of green speeds and pin positions is helpful. Off that package, a golf cart is 500 THB for those who prefer not to walk. The driving range on-site allows a proper warm-up, and club rental at 600 THB makes the course fully accessible for visiting golfers travelling without equipment.
Tips & what to know before you go
Booking-platform packages (around 1,350 THB weekday / 1,600 THB weekend, caddie and cart included) are usually the best deal — compare them against the walk-in rate before you go. A caddie tip of 400 THB is the customary minimum on top. Because the course has 27 holes, clarify which 18-hole combination is in play on your visit, as some loops may see heavier traffic on weekends. The Muak Lek location places it close to other Khao Yai-corridor courses, making it possible to combine with a round at a nearby venue for a multi-course weekend itinerary.
Location & getting there
Forest Hills Country Club is located at 195 Moo 3, Mittraphap Road, Muak Lek district, Saraburi province — approximately 150 km northeast of Bangkok at around the 150-kilometre mark along the Mittraphap Road (Highway 2). The drive from Bangkok takes approximately 90 minutes, making it one of the closer options in the Khao Yai/Pak Chong corridor. The Mittraphap Road runs directly through the area, so navigation is straightforward. There is no direct public bus service to the course gate; private car or hired vehicle is the standard approach from Bangkok.
