Welcome to Golf in a Kingdom

The term, 'tropical paradise' is thrown around quite loosely these days. It's taken on an almost mythical quality, as if these places no longer exist. Yet everything we would associate with such a fantastical place - the warm, blue-green waters, the remote island getaways, the lush luxuriant landscapes, the friendly natives, the affordable prices, the endless white-sand beaches, the carefree sensibility, the breathtaking golf courses and exotic cuisine - remain a reality when you Golf In A Kingdom. The royal trappings suffuse most everything in Thailand, especially those singular golf holidays spent in the realm. After all, it's not every day you play Golf in a Kingdom.

Most Asian countries have but a handful of golf courses; Thailand boasts more than 260, the best of which are part of Golf In A Kingdom and available to overseas golf visitors. While the cost of golf, - and lodging, and food, and entertainment - remain extremely low by North American and European standards, the quality of the golf - and the hotels, and the cuisine, and the après-golf options - remains utterly first world.

The Thai Golf Experience

The courses that comprise Golf in a Kingdom: The Thai Golf Experience are the finest Thailand and, for that matter, Southeast Asia have to offer. In the past 5 years, the Asian and European Tours have made tournament stops at no less than 20 separate Kingdom tracks. From the appropriate tees, they will challenge the finest players while offering mid-high handicappers the relaxing, resort experience they crave.

The common denominator is conditioning - these are among the best-maintained courses in all of golf, designed over spectacular verdant terrain, from the warm southern beachfronts to the cool northern highlands. The quality and sheer beauty of The Thai Golf Experience courses are quite literally awesome, while the charm and savvy of its world-famous all-female caddie corps- a staple at every course, country-wide - may just leave the strongest impression of all.

Total Golf Experience

The sheer size of Thai clubhouses may at first take some foreign visitors aback, but the quality and variety of the amenities on offer quickly puts one at ease - beyond ease, actually, to a state of near bliss. The cream of Thai golf courses, the members of Golf in a Kingdom, have for decades been welcoming resort golfers from all over Asia and Europe. Thai hospitality and this experience accommodating golfers from so many different cultures has raised the clubhouse culture here to high art. Multiple menus. The poshest of locker rooms. Resplendent bath and sauna facilities. Comfortable, leather-bound grille rooms worthy of a Kingdom. On a continent famous for opulent clubhouses, Thai entries are routinely voted tops in Asia.

Away from the course and clubhouse, golfers on Thai holiday can expect nightlife options as exotic, sensuous and spirited as one chooses. It's all there in Thailand, right down to the some of the most colorful street life in captivity. The juxtapositions of Thai life are what lure and ultimately delight first-time visitors: the centuries-old floating markets beside the world-class highway and public transportation system; the rich cultural history set beside utterly modern, world class resorts... It's the accumulation of these pleasant surprises that keep golfers in a kingdom coming back.
