Siam Country Club Old Course is one of the more famous Thailand golf courses. When it was built in 1971, it was the first privately owned golf course in the country. The Old Course was closed in 2006-2007 for a complete renovation by Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley from the USA. The original hole routing was for the most part kept intact, while all aspects of the course were modernized and brought up to international championship levels. Since reopening in 2007 the golf course has hosted several international golf tournaments including the annual Honda LPGA Classic from 2010 onwards. As expected the course is impeccably maintained and kept in excellent playing condition year round.
