Lotus Valley Golf Resort

To the east of Bangkok about 50 minutes from Suvanabhumi International Airport is the Lotus Valley Golf Resort. It was formerly known as the World Trade Golf and Sports Club.

This club was designed by the great Gary Player, and is among the few courses by the designer that is found in Asia. Gary created a good balanced golf challenge here and the club made some substantial renovations in 2005 including modern construction methods, irrigation and even new turf.

With two predictable loops on nine of its holes, the entire course measures 6,955 yards which is a championship length. It also has a par-72.

Players will face a different test on each hole. But each easily leads to the green for par or the birdie route which is riskier. Every hole also has a water hazard in one form or the other. Fringes and narrow fairways can be found on the greens, features that reflect the style of designer Gary Player and that are similar to traditional Scottish design.

The clubhouse is modern. It has a vast entrance and lobby which are well ventilated. A pro shop which is well supplied with all that the players will need as well as large modern locker rooms. Unusual for a Thai locker room are their wonderful Japanese baths, great to unwind after your round.

For your meals at the course, the Lotus Restaurant will serve your needs. It is expansive and is well ventilated making it a good place to relax after a day on the golf course. They serve dishes from different parts of the world namely Chinese, Western Japanese and Thai foods.

The Lotus Valley Golf Resort has a no cash policy. Once they register for the day at the course, players are given a passport for the day. They can then use this card to charge snacks and drinks that they buy on the course and also to make purchases at the clubhouse. Payment of bills is done once the player has completed a round on the course and when they check out from the resort. This system has guaranteed players have a first class experience when they come to this resort.
