Palm Hills Golf and Country Club


The course opened in December 1991, and is distinct in the way that it is considered the first of the "new" championship golf courses. The beautiful Palm Hills Golf and Country Club was designed by the talented "Max Wexler". In 1993 it was the principal venue for the inaugural THAILAND WORLD PRO AM golf tournament. Praise was copious; both from the competitors and the British PGA.

This is a par 72, 18-hole course. The fairways-Bermuda 419, and the greens-Tiff Turf. The course is one of the areas most beautiful, and has been remarkably well designed. The owners have gone to extreme lengths to preserve the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains. The fairways are generous, and lead to receptive green. Hazards, in the form of water, come into play on 12 of the 18 holes. Usually it does not require a great drive to overcome the obstacle. The gentle terrain of the course is the rule.

There are 2 distinct parts of this course. The out and in 9-hole are separated by both the Clubhouse and an outcropping from the nearby mountains.
