Today’s Golf Review Nikanti
Golf Club; located in
Pantip roughly an hour drive (sans traffic) west/northwest of town. This review of the course includes, amenities, conditions, and a special running until the end of October, prior to the upcoming ‘busy’ season of golf (Nov-Jan).
Get There Early
Nikanti is worth the trip and the early rise; beat the traffic, and enjoy the amenities, which include both a very nice buffet breakfast, late lunch, stunning locker rooms; showers, sauna, Jacuzzi
(the facility overall is quite modern and well laid out). The first booth you reach, after the guard gate is the bag drop, from there you drive up to the clubhouse entrance. The pro shop is adequate and well stocked
(I didn’t have much of an opportunity to peruse the pro shop much).
Special Running until Oct 31
The current weekday promotion can be viewed on the homepage of
Nikanti Golf Club; includes round of golf, golf cart w/GPS, caddie fee (sans tip), free buffet meal before and after your round… all for only ฿ 3,000 THB. Reportedly, this may soon become a private club. This is one of the best deals around for the quality of the course, the services, and the facilities.
Greens, Lush Fairways, Reasonable Roughs
I found
Bang Sai Country Club very enjoyable…
Nikanti Golf Club has it beat with facilities, and the course is quite comparable.. probably playing a bit better. The greens run true and responsive; so they are nice to attack with nothing domed; putts track very well and reasonable to read. The fairways are very well maintained
(noted that the grounds-keeping staff is very keen to its clientele re: noise, passing, etc.).
The caddies seemed very experienced and quite conscious of making sure you are comfortable and well tended to. The second cuts are kept in great shape, as well.. as a result, most places to make a recovery from. Also, all the tee boxes are level and manicured; truly enjoyable. We opted for the blue tees; about 6350 ft and never felt like it was a stretch. One bit of a bummer was a restriction to cart paths, due to heavy rains the night before; the caddies are more than happy to shag for clubs. If they do restrict to cart paths, a suggestions is to simply walking the course from tee to green, and the caddies are happy to shag the clubs for you. I walk with a distance rangefinder, so between their GPS and your statistics, they can bring proper club selection(s).

It is amazing amidst this busy city of Bangkok, it is surprisingly easy to find golf driving ranges. Google listings are getting better to help identify where to find them; this map will help you with golf driving range locations >>. In the past 6 months there has been noticeable improvement with listings for golf course and golf driving ranges.
has a decent 9/18 hole short course, driving range, putting, and chipping area. Locker room is 20 bht with good showers and water pressure.
Play during the week is roughly 600 BHT during the week and you can finish in 2 hours. You can even BTS to this course (yes, BTS will allow golf clubs) to the Bang Na exit, and the next block east on Sukhumvit, grab a taxi, motorbike taxi. You could try Grab Taxi or Uber to have them pick you up; or the walk really isn’t that bad to to/from the course.
42 Tee Off Driving Range>> this is an average 2 tiered range, with some additional sitting areas. You willbe greeted upon arrival with eager bag shaggers to help you. They offer a discount card (1,000 bht for 60 days) which cuts 20 baht per skid off. Food and drinks are offered here; fairly limited variety, but decent. There is a good massage place on the grounds, and a small putting area.. probably better for some light chipping, but no pitching.
has a few things going on. Located behind Seacon Square (off On Nut, to Udom Sok) has 2 floors of driving range, 2 putting greens, 9 holes of 30-100 yard pitch and putt par 3 course; too cool for school!
