Golf Courses
Designed by Ron M Garl, Alpine Golf Club is an 18-hole, par 72 championship course that measures just over 7,100 yards from the championship tees. Originally built on 770 acres of flat open rice fields, Garl set about transforming this piece of land into one of the most interesting layouts in all off Thailand by creating elevation changes and contouring that challenge golfers of all skills levels. The combination of lakes, tree lined fairways and strategic bunkers reward good shots but punish those who are a little wayward. With no weak holes, this golf course really is a treat to play and will feature high on many people’s top golf course lists.
Signature Holes
With so many great golf holes, it’s hard to single one specific hole, but one hole that does stand out is the par 4 4th hole. A relatively short par 4 by modern standards, but a hole that requires accuracy off the tee in order to make a good score. If you avoid the water, bunkers and trees from the tee you will be faced with an inviting second shot into the green, if you don’t you could struggle to make your par.
