Alpine Golf and Sports Club, created by one of America’s leading golf
course architects, Ronald M. Garl, was the venue for the 2000 Johnnie
Walker Classic PGA tournament won by Tiger Woods and again hosted the
same event in 2004.
The 18 holes at Alpine golf simply put make up the most challenging golf
course in Bangkok, and by a wide margin! In addition to the superb layout
this member’s only golf club is extremely well maintained and features
lightening fast greens and undulating fairways.
Alpine Golf and Sports Club’s picturesque hills were created from flat
rice paddy fields and the changing elevations may remind you more of places
like Chiang Mai, Hua Hin or even Myrtle Beach. The rolling fairways and
undulating greens at Alpine differentiate the course from any other in
Bangkok. Eighty percent of the greens slope from back to front, so keeping
the ball below the hole is the key to shooting low scores. Good fairway
and approach shots will be rewarded while badly placed shots held subject
to costly penalties.
Golfers privileged to play at Alpine Golf and Sports Club will have an
unforgettable experience of having their golf skills challenged. The clubhouse
facilities, locker rooms, and 2 restaurants (a coffee shop and gourmet
Chinese restaurant) are all excellent with service to match.
For every serious visiting golfer, Alpine must be included in any high
end Bangkok golf package.
