Bangpra International Golf Club was built in 1958 and is just a 50 mins drive north from Pattaya.
Nestled in the natural hillside of Sri Racha overlooking the picturesque Ban Bang Phra reservoir, lies this mature 18 hole, 72 par golf course, renowned for its fast slopping greens and natural habitat, including the odd monkey.
In 1988, commissioned in a joint venture by the Thai Tourism Authority and a private company, "Japan Golf Promotion Co., Ltd", the course was updated to promote Tourism from Japan.
The first nine holes were completely redesigned, adding more hazards to make this a more challenging course, the facilities and clubhouse were also brought up to standard.
The clubhouse comes with a Japanese theme, including a Japanese Restaurant and the changing rooms include Japanese Baths. The whole course was overhauled in 2007, modernizing the club house as well.
Bangpra International Golf Club has hosted many professional tournaments; most recently it hosted the Thailand Open, 2010.

In our opinion this is a superb course for the Golfer who wishes to be challenged. We can only guide you through this course with the ideal route, as we all know one stroke short or long, off line and the whole Hole takes a different shape. The pin positions do change, the caddy on the day will help you. A trip to Pattaya is wasted unless you try Bangpra International Golf Club.
All on-course caddies - 350 to choose from - have completed training by a professional caddie and have extensive knowledge of each hole and club selection. Bangpra Golf Club prides themselves on Service and Training.
