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.
