Salaya Naval Golf Course

Not every round needs to be a 7,000-yard championship test. Salaya Naval Golf Course, a small Royal Thai Navy course in Salaya, Phutthamonthon district, is a quiet, relaxed place to enjoy a day off with family and friends, and a handy spot for local golfers to practise their skills.

The 18-hole layout plays to par 68 and measures about 5,080 yards from the blue tees. That shorter length puts the focus on accuracy, iron play and the short game rather than power, which makes it a great course for beginners, juniors and seniors, and a useful practice ground for better players who want to sharpen their scoring clubs.

Facilities are simple but practical: a restaurant serving Thai and European food, a practice putting green and rental clubs for players who don't bring their own set. It's the kind of local golf course where the atmosphere is informal and the pace is unhurried.

Salaya sits on the western edge of Bangkok, close to Mahidol University and Phutthamonthon Buddhist park, so it's easy to reach from the city's western suburbs.

Because Salaya Naval is short and friendly, it's a perfect course for introducing new golfers to the game. On CoGolfers, you can host golf games here for beginners or casual players and invite members of the CoGolfers community, or join golf games that others have posted nearby.
