Phoenix Gold Golf Bangkok offers 18 holes of Robert Trent Jones Jr designed golf in an unspoiled rural setting. Extending beyond the course in virtually all directions is a picturesque landscape of flat paddy fields and open marshland, full of tall reeds and grasses, migratory birds, and many fish. Each hole was designed to be distinct in approach from all the others.

The course has an excellent array of dogleg holes, especially on the back-nine. Open marshland flanks fairways and offers picturesque setting.

Despite the proximity of many bunkers, the greens are not always overly broad, which places a significant premium on accurate approach play. A pleasant array of smallish trees and soft earth mounding provides excellent separation and definition to each hole, while the plentiful supply of water creates many hazards which you'll need to negotiate.

In Trent Jones Jr fashion fairways may appear wide, but driving in the correct position to attack the flag is a major factor in scoring well here. A good-width band of semi-rough separates the parallel holes. This tough, wiry Bermuda rough, when found, often forces the golfer to play a lay-up shot. Deep greenside bunkers well protect most greens and getting up and down is no simple task. Greens run fast and true, but the player must be aware not to miss the subtle borrows.

The Phoenix Gold Golf Bangkok spacious Mediterranean style clubhouse and locker facilities are very nice. The Hole-In-One coffee shop serves both Thai and International dishes. The other facilities are okay, though it is the course layout and the naturalness of the surroundings that attract Bangkok bound golfers to Phoenix Gold Golf Bangkok.
