Alpine Golf Club

The basics

Alpine’s 18-hole championship course provides golfers with challenging, hilly terrain in a country where many of the finest golf courses are relatively flat. It’s a great place to spend a day, with on-site dining, a health club, and golf carts. If you’re visiting Bangkok and want to experience the golf course for the day, you can book a tour package that includes round-trip transfers from the city, along with green fees and the use of a golf cart.

Things to know before you go

• The club’s facilities include a pro shop, locker rooms, a sauna, and a whirlpool hot tub.

• There are two on-site restaurants, along with a small café for refreshments.

• The golf club is not wheelchair accessible.

How to get there

Alpine Golf Club is located in Klong Luang, about a 45-minute drive north of Bangkok, depending on traffic. If you're using public transportation, you can take the SRT Dark Red Line (Thani Ratthaya Line) to Rangsit, a 25-minute drive from the golf course, then take a taxi or rideshare car or motorcycle the rest of the way. The most convenient way is to take a taxi from Bangkok, or to book a tour package.

When to get there

While the golf club is open throughout the year, the conditions for golfing are at their finest between November and early March, when temperatures are a little cooler and the likelihood of rain is much lower. March through June can get really hot, while the rainy season runs from July until October.

Golfing in Bangkok

While Alpine Golf Club is a top pick for golfing in the Bangkok area, there are more options if you want to go golf-course hopping. A few of them include Pinehurst Golf & Country Club in Rangsit, not far from Alpine, as well as the Thai Country Club and Thana City Country Club, both southeast of central Bangkok.
