Kabinburi Sport Club
Weekday green fee
600THB
Weekend: 1,200 THB
Kabinburi Sport Club is an 18-hole, par 72 course in Wang Dan, Kabin Buri district, Prachin Buri province — approximately 160 km east of Bangkok on the edge of the Eastern Seaboard region. Designed by Yoshikazu Kato, who is best known internationally for the Canyon Course at Blue Canyon Country Club in Phuket, and opened in 2007, the club occupies landscaped grounds in a relatively remote setting that keeps visitor numbers low and pace of play relaxed. Green fees are among the most competitive in the greater Bangkok area, with weekday rates from 600 THB for most of the year — making it an appealing option for golfers willing to make the 2.5-hour drive from the capital. The club operates a full driving range and club rental service, and the on-course experience is straightforward and uncrowded compared to the busier courses ringing Bangkok.

Layout & playing experience
Kabinburi Sport Club was laid out by Yoshikazu Kato, whose portfolio includes internationally acclaimed courses in Thailand and Japan. While operating in a very different category to Blue Canyon — as a regional club serving Prachin Buri and Bangkok weekenders rather than a premier resort destination — Kato's attention to strategic routing is evident in the course design. The layout navigates a mix of open fairways and tighter tree-lined corridors, with water hazards integrated on multiple holes to add decision points without making the round punitive. The terrain is relatively flat by Thai standards, which aids pace of play and keeps the layout accessible for higher-handicap golfers. At par 72, the course measures to a length appropriate for recreational visitors and members alike. The club's remote location away from Bangkok's main golf clusters means it retains a quiet, local character. Weekday rounds are particularly unhurried, with little competition for tee times outside Thai public holidays. The presentation is functional rather than resort-grade, consistent with a price point that makes it one of the better-value 18-hole layouts in the region. Greens are maintained to a reasonable standard and caddie services are available. The course is not widely covered in international golf media, giving it an under-the-radar quality that appeals to golfers looking for something quieter than the well-trodden Eastern Seaboard courses.
Tips & what to know before you go
The best value window is weekdays outside December, when green fees drop to 600 THB — among the lowest prices for a full 18-hole designer course within Bangkok day-trip range. Weekends from January to May run 1,200 THB; December weekends jump to 2,000 THB, so timing a visit to avoid the peak month saves significantly. Caddie fee is 300 THB and cart hire 700 THB; budget around 1,600 THB all-in for a comfortable weekday off-peak round. The drive from central Bangkok takes approximately 2 to 2.5 hours via Highway 304 (Kabin Buri Road), so an early departure is worthwhile to beat both city traffic and the midday heat. The course is quieter than comparable layouts closer to Bangkok, meaning walk-in tee times are usually possible, but calling ahead is still recommended: +66 37 283 888. The wet season (May–October) brings afternoon thunderstorms, so morning starts are preferable. The Prachin Buri area does not have the elevation of Khao Yai and can be warm in the dry season — lightweight clothing and sun protection are essential.
Location & getting there
Kabinburi Sport Club is located approximately 160 km east of Bangkok in Wang Dan sub-district, Kabin Buri district, Prachin Buri province. The course address is 196 Moo 11, Suwannasorn Road, Wang Dan, Kabin Buri. The main access route from Bangkok is Highway 304 through Kabin Buri town, with the drive taking around 2 to 2.5 hours off-peak. No public bus or rail service reaches the course directly; private car or a hired driver is the practical option for Bangkok visitors. The club is closer to Kabin Buri town (roughly 10 km) than to any major tourist hub, making it a standalone destination rather than part of a multi-course cluster.
