       NAVATANEE   

Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the course was created especially for the 1975 World Cup and has since become a golfing mecca for first time visitors to the country. It offers a tranquil retreat, full of mature trees and beautiful shrubs. The greens are well protected by bunkers and there is a mix of wide and narrow fairways, with water coming into play on five holes. The par four sixth hole and the par five ninth hole across the lake are among the best in the country. The clubhouse facilities are excellent.

       SUBHAPRUEK 

18 Holes (Par 72) Designed by Pete Dye This course features hundreds of palm trees along every fairway and water comes into play on almost every hole. This is definitely not a course for hookers and long hitting is not the name of the game either. Those who hit straight will be rewarded at Subhapruek. The par 3s are all very tricky and a player who makes par at all four of them will have a good round. The clubhouse is massive and has every facility.
