EVERY SHOT IN 10 MINUTES (Royal Thai Army Golf Course)
A round of golf at Royal Thai Army golf course in Bangkok, Thailand. It's an affordable place near central Bangkok with 2 18-hole courses to play. You can show up and play (like I did) or book a tee time ahead if preferred.
On this day the new course was closed so I ended up playing the back 9 of the old course for the first time.

I'm James, a golfer with a dodgy swing now playing off a 14.8 handicap.
I am in Thailand for the winter & spring and will be back to posting UK golf content this summer.

Royal Thai Army Golf Club - Old Course & New Course Description:
(good municipal course that's fun for all)
As the name suggests, Royal Thai Army Sports Center Ramindra Golf Club is owned and operated by the Thai Army, located just outside Bangkok's main downtown section. The facility boasts two complete 18-hole courses, Old Course and New Course.
Royal Thai Army is one of the better value courses in Bangkok. While in many countries, military golf courses are off-limits to civilians; the courses welcome visitors here in Thailand at any time. The course is one of several courses in Bangkok that offer fully floodlight night golf, staying open until 11 pm every night.
The site itself consists of two 18 hole, par 72 parkland-style & tree-lined courses side by side, which are both equally challenging. The relatively flat terrain provides a fun round of golf for higher and mid-handicapped players.
The New Course and Old Course share the same clubhouse, though the teeing areas are opposite sides of the Royal Thai Army Golf Club. The New Course layout is similar to the Old Course, but the hole lengths average 20-30 yards shorter. Both courses are acceptable for low and high handicap golfers.
Due to its reasonable price and central location, the Royal Thai Army Golf Club Sports Center gets busy, especially on weekends and on Wednesday afternoons when most soldiers get allocated time to pursue sporting activities. Calling ahead to reserve a tee time is recommended.
The Royal Thai Army Sports Center facilities include several pro shops, chipping and putting areas, more than ten restaurants. Every hole has a kiosk serving a unique Thai snack and drinks. The locker rooms are well maintained, though there is a slight change for towel service. Other facilities include an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a public accessible double-decker driving range.
Caddies are well trained and know their profession. They assist golfers and help with the speed of play despite the course allowing 6-balls to play in one group. Overall, the Royal Thai Army offers a lovely day out golfing in Bangkok at a fair price.
