Rooks Korat Country Club Golf & Resort is an 18-hole par-72 course in Pak Thong Chai, Nakhon Ratchasima, opened in 1993 and situated approximately 15 minutes south of Korat town on the Korat-Pak Thong Chai road. One of the more established golf venues in the wider Nakhon Ratchasima province, Rooks Korat predates most of the premium resort-style courses that have opened in the Khao Yai National Park corridor in subsequent decades. It occupies a woodland setting surrounded by mature trees and offers a traditional, no-frills club golf experience at accessible pricing. The course includes on-site accommodation and a restaurant, making it a self-contained stop for golfers exploring the Korat region. Its location further into Nakhon Ratchasima than Pak Chong-area courses means it is less commonly combined with national park tourism, but it suits golfers making a dedicated Korat area golf trip.

Layout & playing experience
The 18-hole layout extends to 7,109 yards from the back tees, making it one of the longer courses in the Nakhon Ratchasima region. The par-72 format with a woodland setting features challenging par fours that reward accurate driving through the tree-lined corridors. Greens at Rooks Korat are noted across visitor reviews as small and well-maintained, placing a premium on precise approach play rather than power. The inland woodland setting means minimal wind interference, making trajectory and ball-striking consistency the primary variables. A caddie is required, which is helpful given the course's layout complexity. The resort character of the facility — with accommodation, a restaurant, and pool on site — makes it suitable for a dedicated golf trip rather than a day-trip from Bangkok or Pak Chong.
Tips & what to know before you go
Rooks Korat is best suited as a destination for golfers based in Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima city) or those extending a Khao Yai golf trip further northeast. The course is approximately three hours from Bangkok and sits well east of Pak Chong, making it a longer drive than most Khao Yai-area alternatives. The weekday green fee is very accessible; add the compulsory caddie (฿400) and optional cart (฿600) for a typical all-in total in the 1,200–2,200 THB range depending on day type. The small greens demand accurate approach play — club selection one club more than usual on uphill approaches.
