点评:This Faldo-designed course has always been one of my favorite in Bangkok. It has a challenging layout, and most holes have a risk and reward approach. One can lay up or attack a pin over some hazards. It makes one think and strategize.
It is also close to the airport and 2 hotels (Le Meridien Suvarnabhumi and Windmill Residence), which are within a 5 minutes walk (but the concierge will give you a ride).
I had an opportunity to play this course last Thursday (Sept. 26th). We teed off early, knowing it would get busy. Unfortunately, the play was still pretty slow, with groups of 5 and a few single golfers. I thought the club could manage this better for a better customer experience.
It had been raining practically every night in Bangkok for last couple of weeks, so we understand the fairways would be wet, but we didn't expect 50% of the fairway soil for hole 1 was completely turned up. There are parts of the course in pretty bad shape. This may be the price for day and night golf.
For us, the most non pleasant part of the experience was the caddy service. My partner and I played from different tees, and we had 2 carts and 2 caddies. My caddy would simply drive ahead before my partner had teed off her shot. Similarly, as soon as I had putted out, my caddy would be back in the cart working her phone. There was not much effort in locating lost balls. More sadly, they are not very diligent in filling divots on fairways or pitch marks on greens. Last of all, we were not even handed the caddy rating card.
If you have time, there are plenty other great courses in Bangkok. If you have no choice, tee off before 7am. Check ahead on course condition before you book. As to the caddy piece, don't harbor any expectation.
翻译:这座由 Faldo 设计的球场一直是我在曼谷最喜欢的球场之一。它的布局很有挑战性,大多数球洞都有风险和回报的策略。人们可以跳过一些障碍物打球或进攻球洞。它让人思考和制定策略。
它也靠近机场和 2 家酒店(素万那普艾美酒店和 Windmill Residence),步行 5 分钟即可到达(但礼宾部会载您一程)。
我上周四(9 月 26 日)有机会打过这座球场。我们很早就开球了,知道会很忙。不幸的是,比赛仍然很慢,有 5 人一组和几个单人高尔夫球手。我认为俱乐部可以更好地管理这一点,以提供更好的客户体验。
过去几周,曼谷几乎每晚都在下雨,所以我们知道球道会很湿,但我们没想到 1 号洞的 50% 球道土壤完全被翻了起来。球场的一些部分状况相当糟糕。这可能是白天和晚上打高尔夫的价格。
对我们来说,体验中最不愉快的部分是球童服务。我和我的搭档从不同的发球区打球,我们有 2 辆球车和 2 个球童。我的球童会在我的搭档开球之前就开车走。同样,我一推杆,我的球童就会回到球车上玩她的手机。没有花太多精力去寻找丢失的球。更可悲的是,他们没有非常勤奋地填补球道上的草皮或果岭上的球痕。最后,我们甚至没有拿到球童评分卡。
如果你有时间,曼谷还有很多其他很棒的球场。如果你别无选择,请在早上 7 点之前开球。预订前请提前检查球场状况。至于球童,不要抱有任何期望。
