It is sometimes easy to get carried away talking about how wonderful playing golf in Thailand really is, especially as I live here. Therefore, it was rather refreshing to hear from some overseas journalists that they also agree with me; playing golf in Thailand is a great experience.
The party included respected journalists from Golf Monthly and the Daily Telegraph in the UK and the massively influential Golf Digest from the United States. Journalists get to travel lot as it goes with their territory, and some I have met in the past can be quite hardnosed and hard to impress. This group were however in great form, and already the magic of the Thai golf courses plus the people and the culture has begun to weave its magic spell.
With over 280 golf courses across Thailand, the Kingdom is already spoilt for choice, so it is a very pleasant surprise, when a new club opens that really does have something different to offer.
The Royal Gems Golf City located just 35 minutes from the centre of Bangkok, has just finished the first phase of the proposed largest golf complex in Thailand. Known as the Dream Arena, it is the first replica golf course in Asia.
Designed by Ron Garl who was also responsible for Alpine Golf in Bangkok and Alpine Chiang Mai, the Royal Gems City course combines nine of the best holes in golf with the back nine from Augusta National, home of the Masters.
Holes one to nine cover famous holes in America and in Great Britain including the well-known Church Pew bunkers from the 3rd hole at Oakmont, 6th hole from Bay Hill Orlando, the island green from the 17th at TPC Sawgrass, the Doral Blue Monster, the Postage Stamp at Royal Troon, the Road Hole from St Andrews in Scotland, the 15th from Bethpage Black in New York, the famous par 3 from Winged Foot in the States, and the 10th hole from the Belfry in England, home of the 1985 Ryder Cup.
