The Best 19th Holes

What makes the perfect clubhouse? Paul Myers selects his favourites in Southeast Asia

The "birdwing" 19th at Siam Country Club’s Plantation Course

Best of the Rest

Elsewhere in Thailand and Vietnam, other outstanding courses with great clubhouses include:

Black Mountain, Hua Hin.

It’s perhaps not surprising that one of the top-ranked courses in Thailand would also have one of the best clubhouses where you can eat, drink and enjoy the course views from an open bar, restaurant and relaxation area.

Riverdale, Bangkok.

This relatively new course in Bangkok rates as one of the best public facilities in the city. Its low-slung clubhouse provides commanding views over the course.

Siam Country Club, Pattaya.

The “birdwing” clubhouse at the Plantation Course, one of two layouts at this highly rated Pattaya club, is one of the most striking in Asia.

Danang Golf Club, Vietnam.

Another modern clubhouse that interacts seamlessly with the superb Greg Norman-designed course. The open restaurant at the front of the building is the perfect place to relax after a game.

Montgomerie Links, Vietnam.

Also a modern design, the clubhouse is set on a high point a few hundred metres from the entrance to the property, ensuring great views over the layout. A café/restaurant at the front provides excellent interaction with the course. Montgomerie Links’ modern clubhouse sits at the club’s highest point
