Phoenix Gold Golf & Country Club is a 27-hole facility in Huayyai, Banglamung, Chonburi, designed by Dennis Griffith and opened in 1993. The three nine-hole loops — Mountain, Lake, and Ocean — each offer a distinct character, with golfers combining any two for a standard 18-hole round at par 72. The Mountain and Ocean nines are particularly noted for scenic views of the surrounding hills and glimpses of the Gulf of Thailand from elevated points on the course. Phoenix Gold underwent a significant upgrade in 2015 that refreshed bunkering, green surfaces, and course infrastructure across all three loops. Green fees are confirmed from the official website at 3,000 THB weekday and 3,500 THB weekend, placing it firmly in the mid-premium tier for the Pattaya region.

Layout & playing experience
The parkland-style layout features gently contoured fairways, shallow bunkers, and sloping greens — a design style that rewards accuracy over raw power. The Mountain nine plays across the highest elevations on the property, offering longer carry distances and more exposed pin positions to wind. The Ocean nine is the most visually scenic, with several holes offering elevated views toward the Gulf of Thailand. The Lake nine incorporates water on multiple holes, demanding precise club selection when water protects the line into greens. The three-loop format means the course manager can adjust which combination of nines is played based on conditions and group size, giving the overall layout flexibility. The 2015 upgrade sharpened the conditioning and brought green speeds up to a consistent standard across all three courses.
Tips & what to know before you go
Phoenix Gold's official website publishes its price list directly, which is a useful resource for confirming current rates before booking. Weekday mornings during the November–March cool season offer the best combination of weather and pace of play. The Ocean nine is popular and often requested — ask about nine-hole combinations when booking to secure it. At 3,000–3,500 THB, Phoenix Gold is priced above the Pattaya budget tier but below the premium Siam Country Club courses, making it a good middle-ground option for a high-quality round without the top-end price. The signature hole is the par-5 9th (493 yards) — a strong drive is needed to set up a manageable approach.
