The 27-hole Crystal Bay Golf Resort course is one of the older golf courses in Pattaya and was originally designed by Thai Takenaka. IT has actually been open since 1988 and has changed its name several times before settling on Crystal Bay Golf Resort.
The golf course is around 45 minutes from Pattaya and 1.5 hours from Bangkok and is often described has having a distinctly ‘Hawaiian’ vibe with many of the holes being fringed by palm trees.
Crystal Bay Golf Club is a very popular and relatively easy golf course about 30 minutes outside Pattaya in gently rolling terrain with plenty of opportunity for good scoring. Generally in good condition but can get very crowded at weekends so best played midweek. The palm trees which line many of the fairways give it a distinctly Hawaiian flavour.
Crystal Bay Golf Club (former Legacy Crystal Bay Golf Resort) was designed by Japanese designed Thai Takenaka and opened for play in 1988 under the original name of Natural Park Resort. The course is located near Sriracha some 45 minutes from Pattaya and 1.5 hours from Bangkok. Described as a Hawaiian style course with palm tree lined holes, Crystal Bay Golf Club has good tee boxes, lush fairways and fair greens.
Crystal Bay Golf Club 27-hole layout comprises three nine-hole golf courses which vary in elevation and hazards. The course is a mixture of styled fairways with an occasional links-type hole. Water is omnipresent, mostly bordering fairways though some waterways do require a carry over water onto the green. Bunkers play an integral role in determining play, making precision shots imperative.
The club house needs some work and the golf course conditions vary through the year so it is good to check before heading to the golf course. A meal of Thai or International cuisine with an ice cold beer or soft drink in the clubhouse will complete a nice Pattaya golf day.
