St Andrews 2000 Country Club

St Andrews 2000 Country Club

Working with a magnificent, undulating surrounding landscape, English-born golf course sculptor Desmond Muirhead has produced one of Pattaya’s most fascinating golf courses. St Andrews, built to simulate the Scottish link course, is housed in Rayong, about 45 minutes from Pattaya and 2 hours from Bangkok.

The Millennium certainly had an influence here as Desmond Muirhead had a brief to open a golf course in 2000 which had the feel and look of a Scottish Links, this many said he achieved in bucket loads. A forty-minute drive from central Pattaya will get you on the tee box to play a golf course of extremes. At 7,770 yards from the back tee and with two, yes two par 6 holes both measuring over 850 yards the St.Andrews 2000 Gc is not for the faint-hearted and a serious golf challenge for those serious golfers out there. Highly recommended and should sit somewhere near the top of that ever-increasing bucket list.

St Andrews 2000 Golf Club requires a great deal of power and precision, with the strategic placement of hazards forcing the player to maintain focus on every single shot. Even a single wayward shot can be very expensive. This Pattaya golf course requires the use of every club and also will be the subject of a lot of narratives about a demanding golf round. Bring a lot of golf balls, a camera, and otherwise expect this course to be attacked but ultimately only the very best will defeat its par of 74.

The clubhouse and on-site golf resort overlook the course, while the former makes for a good 19th hole to exemplify on your round. Green fees for Pattaya and the compulsory golf cart are on the high side; this course will not fit into everyone’s spending limit. However, if it was only for the bragging rights to be the first one at the golf club to have got to play two par 6 golf holes, it ought to be worth it.

why not partner with a round at the Honda Classic course of Siam Country Club?
