Golf Course Comments :

Bangpoo Golf and Sports Club is one of only a few Arnold Palmer creations in Asia. The course is set near the Gulf of Thailand on a land plot consisting of rolling terrain, mature trees, and large amounts of natural flowers. The seaside location provides a nice breeze to keep golfers cool even during the hottest of months. This also leads to tricky wind conditions, especially in the afternoons when the sea breezes are at their strongest.
Wide fairways and large greens provide excellent golf for the average player. Although located near the sea, Bangpoo Golf Club actually has fewer water hazards than most Bangkok courses. The golf course is still challenging without being too difficult for the majority of players. Bangpoo is especially popular with local Thai’s due to the relatively convenient location to Bangkok and less costly green fees as compared to other Bangna area golf courses. It is also popular with Asian expatriates and often included as a choice for the budget conscious golf tourists.

Bangpoo Golf

Designed by the world’s most famous, Arnold Palmer. The Bangpoo Golf & Sports course offers exciting challenges as it takes full advantage of the natural rolling terrain, towering trees and lush vegetation. With an eagle or birdie in their sights and the cool breeze blowing from the nearby coast, golfers can pit their skills against the many strategically placed bunkers and water features. Every inch of each fairway and green has been meticulously groomed to provide stimulation pleasure for each golfer.

Today Golf Tip

Potato Chip Tip
When you make your golf swing you want to be mentally focused and physically relaxed. To release unwanted tension, place a potato chip between your front teeth and swing. If the potato chip is still in one piece, you have a good degree of relaxation. If it breaks, you need to relax your mouth and eyes. Try smiling -- it will lead to more fluid shoulders and arms and a relaxed swing.
