The Royal Lakeside Golf Club originally in the mid 1990’s but was extensively renovated in 2011.  The golf courses is almost exactly half way between Bangkok and Pattaya and takes around one hour form both places – also its roughly 45 minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport.  AS its name suggests the courses is very close to the mouth of the Bangpakong River with some holes hugging the riverbank and others are dominated by the large lagoon which encircles the course.

The riverside location and proximity to the sea ensures cooling onshore breezes most days and sometimes these can get stronger making the courses more difficult.   The course is very attractive with many native bird species enjoying the water.  You will also encounter plenty of colourful flowers, shrubs and trees which makes for a really enjoyable days golfing.

The course maintenance is usually pretty good, and the newly laid greens are medium paced and roll true. 

There are plenty of wide-open spaces at Royal Lakeside with generous fairways and light rough which means that you can easily find your ball.  The redesign created some significant mounding alongside some fairways and close to some greens which makes the approach into the green more difficult.

You should be able to score well here if you can avoid the waster bunkers which line many of the fairways and the numerous and ever-present water hazards.

The golf course is adjacent to the marina and the entrance is marker by a small lighthouse which you can see from the 9th tee.

The clubhouse is totally “over the top” and looks more like a palace or museum than a clubhouse.  However, once inside you will find excellent locker rooms and a restaurant that serves excellent local food.

We would add one word of caution when booking this course and that is that the course allows 5 & 6-balls and if you get stuck behind one of them it can get very frustrating.

Security issue

Reviewed by ; on
After I played someone "took" my clothes when I am in the shower so Royal Lakeside has a major security issue ! I don't know how many others players this has happened to but I got the impression I was not the first. Valuables were obviously in a locker but do you now need to put sweaty clothes there also ?You might question why someone would "take" dirty clothes but simply put after a wash they are good and not including the belt I have lost 15000THB worth of items. When I asked the check-in guy to speak to manager he rolled out the cleaning lady who he introduced as the manager - maybe he thinks all farang are ting tong. Eventually I spoke to the manageress who blamed fellow society members for taking them and to be fair there were a lot of new faces there that day but we were last group in and locker room was deserted so ultimately security is a problem with no CCTV (understandable in toilet and shower but not locker room?) and I am "missing" my items. I recommend everyone to AVOID Royal Lakeside

Very good course w/ near sea side, a bit windy but cooler as well! Also, it is close to Bangkok Airport and easy to access! Caddie service can be better!

"Great Course if you can avoid the 6-balls!"

Reviewed by ; on
This is still one of the best golf courses in this part of Thailand. It’s exactly half way between Bangkok and Pattaya so it’s equally accessible from both cities. The huge clubhouse is exceptional and the service excellent and the course was also well equally well maintained. The caddies were good and knew their stuff and made us feel very welcome. The whole experience was ruined because they allow groups of six to play and this blocks the entire course and we ended up playing the same nine holes again otherwise we would not have finished before dark. The clubhouse and service are outstanding and the 18-hole golf course is maintained to the same high standard.
