Course Overview
Established in 1973, Navatanee Golf Club is one of Thailand's most prestigious and historic golf courses. Designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Jr. specifically to host the 23rd World Cup of Golf in 1975, it has long been a private sanctuary for Bangkok's elite and international golf connoisseurs.
The course is a masterpiece of classic parkland design, characterized by its mature, flame-tree-lined fairways, strategic bunkering, and a sense of serenity that belies its proximity to the heart of Bangkok. To play Navatanee is to step back into a golden era of golf design.
The Design & Challenge
Robert Trent Jones Jr. utilized the natural landscape to create a challenging yet rewarding par-72 layout. The signature 6th hole, a 445-yard par-4, requires a brave tee shot over water and is widely considered one of the toughest and most beautiful holes in the country.
The fairways are tight and demand accuracy, while the large, undulating greens are often guarded by water or deep bunkers. Navatanee is famous for its impeccable conditioning and the unique "privacy" it offers, as the course is strictly walking-only (with caddies) to preserve the traditional atmosphere of the game.
The Clubhouse Experience
The clubhouse at Navatanee reflects its exclusive heritage. It is known for its understated elegance and world-class service. The restaurant serves some of the finest traditional Thai cuisine in the city, with a terrace that offers tranquil views of the course. The club provides a peaceful, high-end environment that makes it a perfect escape from the bustle of Bangkok.
