The RG City Golf Club - Bangkok

Built on what was originally relatively flat farmland, the layout incorporates constructed elevation changes, lakes, sculpted fairways and extensive bunkering to create a course unlike most traditional layouts in the Bangkok area.

What sets RG City apart is its collection of holes inspired by some of the world's most recognisable golf courses. The front nine draws on famous designs from venues including St Andrews and TPC Sawgrass, with the par-3 3rd taking inspiration from the iconic island green at the 17th hole of the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. The back nine is modelled on Augusta National, bringing a sequence of holes inspired by the home of the Masters to Thailand. The intention is not simply to reproduce the appearance of famous holes, but to recreate some of their defining strategic challenges within a single round.

The course offers a varied test, with water hazards, deep bunkers, pronounced mounding and undulating greens demanding careful course management. Some holes reward an aggressive line from the tee, while others require a more measured approach to avoid hazards and leave the best angle into the green. The changes in elevation are particularly notable given the site's original landscape, and the combination of Thai, American and Scottish design influences gives each section of the course a different character.

The club has a spacious clubhouse, pro shop, changing facilities, dining options and practice areas. RG City Golf Club offers a different perspective on golf in Bangkok: a course built around recreating memorable features of famous layouts, making it an interesting option for golfers who enjoy course design and want to experience several iconic hole concepts in one round.
