Rayong Green Valley Country Club
Pattaya
Located in the rolling hills between Pattaya and Rayong, Rayong Green Valley Country Club offers a well-balanced and enjoyable golf experience in a peaceful countryside setting. Surrounded by greenery and open landscapes, it provides a more relaxed alternative to the busier courses closer to Pattaya.
The 18-hole course stretches to just over 6,900 yards and is known for its wide fairways, gentle elevation changes and strategic layout. While it’s relatively forgiving off the tee, water hazards and bunkering come into play throughout the round, particularly on approach shots, requiring a bit more thought as you get closer to the green.
The course is part of the St. Andrews 2000 golf complex, which means it benefits from solid maintenance and infrastructure. It’s generally considered one of the more consistent and reliable courses in the region, offering good value alongside enjoyable golf.
Rayong Green Valley suits a wide range of golfers, from mid-handicappers looking for a playable round to more experienced players wanting something engaging without being overly punishing. It works well as part of a Pattaya or Rayong itinerary, especially when paired with nearby courses for variety.

About The Area
Hua Hin has long been regarded as Thailand’s original seaside golf resort, combining royal heritage, relaxed coastal charm and one of the strongest clusters of championship courses in Southeast Asia. Located around three hours south of Bangkok, it offers a more refined and tranquil alternative to Pattaya while still delivering tournament-level golf.
The flagship venue is Black Mountain Golf Club, consistently ranked among Asia’s top courses. With dramatic rock formations, natural water hazards and immaculate conditioning, it has hosted multiple international tournaments and offers a true championship test. Nearby, Banyan Golf Club Hua Hin delivers panoramic mountain views, strategic bunkering and a memorable closing stretch that rewards precise approach play. Springfield Royal Country Club, designed by Jack Nicklaus, provides further variety with tree-lined fairways and a slightly more forgiving layout.
Golf in Hua Hin is characterised by wide fairways, bold bunkering and superb presentation. Caddie service is standard and enhances the premium feel, while practice facilities are strong across most clubs. The dry season from November to March offers the most comfortable playing conditions, with warm temperatures and lower humidity.
Off the course, Hua Hin maintains a relaxed seaside atmosphere. The night market is a highlight, offering fresh seafood and authentic Thai street food. Beachfront bars provide sunset views over the Gulf of Thailand, while nearby vineyards and national parks add scenic rest-day options. The town’s royal connections — including the historic Klai Kangwon Palace — give it a more understated and elegant feel compared to other Thai resort areas.
For golfers seeking elite championship layouts, dependable winter sunshine and a more relaxed coastal environment, Hua Hin delivers one of Thailand’s most complete and enjoyable golf escapes.
