Artitaya Kanchanaburi Golf & Resort
Khwae Yai River
Set in the scenic countryside of Kanchanaburi, surrounded by mountains, rivers and open landscapes, Artitaya Kanchanaburi Golf & Resort offers a peaceful and nature-led golfing experience away from Thailand’s busier resort areas. It’s an ideal destination for those looking to combine golf with a more relaxed, off-the-beaten-track setting.
The 18-hole course stretches to just over 6,800 yards and is designed to follow the natural contours of the land. Fairways are generally open, with gentle elevation changes and water features coming into play on selected holes. While playable for a wide range of golfers, the layout still requires thoughtful shot selection, particularly on approach.
What stands out most is the setting. The course is surrounded by mountains and greenery, creating a calm and immersive atmosphere throughout the round. It’s less about championship-level challenge and more about enjoying the scenery and the overall experience.
The resort includes on-site accommodation and basic leisure facilities, making it a convenient stay-and-play option. It’s particularly well suited to golfers looking to explore the Kanchanaburi region, including nearby attractions such as the River Kwai.

About The Area
The Khwae Yai River — often referred to as the River Kwai — runs through one of Thailand’s most scenic and historic regions. Set within lush jungle, limestone hills and flowing waterways, this area offers a more tranquil and nature-led golf experience compared to Thailand’s main resort destinations. It’s ideal for golfers looking to combine a relaxed round with culture, history and landscape.
The closest golf hub is around Kanchanaburi, where Evergreen Hills Golf Club & Resort provides one of the region’s best layouts. Set among rolling hills and natural forest, the course features wide fairways, water hazards and well-kept greens, offering a balanced test that suits a range of abilities. Nearby, Nichigo Resort & Country Club offers a quieter, more traditional round with a relaxed atmosphere and scenic surroundings.
Golf in the Khwae Yai region benefits from a tropical climate, with the most comfortable conditions typically between November and February, when temperatures are cooler and humidity is lower.
Off the course, this region is rich in history and natural beauty. The Bridge on the River Kwai is one of Thailand’s most famous landmarks, reflecting the area’s World War II history. Beyond that, waterfalls, national parks and river-based activities such as boat trips and floating hotels create a unique travel experience. The slower pace and green surroundings make it a refreshing contrast to Thailand’s coastal destinations.
For golfers seeking a quieter, more scenic escape with a mix of golf, history and nature, the Khwae Yai River region delivers one of Thailand’s most distinctive inland golf experiences.
