Evergreen Hills Golf Club & Resort
Khwae Yai River
Set in the hills of Kanchanaburi, Evergreen Hills Golf Club & Resort offers a scenic and well-established golf experience surrounded by mountains, forests and open countryside. Designed by Peter Thomson, the course reflects a more traditional style of golf, focusing on strategy and playability rather than extreme difficulty.
The 18-hole course stretches to just over 6,900 yards and flows naturally through the landscape, with tree-lined fairways, gentle elevation changes and well-placed bunkers shaping the layout. It’s not overly punishing, but it rewards accuracy and smart course management, particularly on approach shots into well-protected greens.
What stands out is the consistency and balance of the course. It’s enjoyable for a wide range of golfers, offering enough challenge to stay engaging without becoming overly demanding. The peaceful setting adds to the experience, making it feel like a true escape from the busier golf destinations closer to Bangkok.
The resort includes on-site accommodation, a clubhouse and leisure facilities, making it a convenient stay-and-play option. It’s often paired with other Kanchanaburi courses for a more relaxed, countryside-focused golf itinerary.

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.
