The Vintage
Club is located 40 kilometers east of central Bangkok on the Bangna
Trad Highway which connects the Thai capital to Pattaya and the Eastern
Provinces. Driving time is approximately 45 minutes from downtown Bangkok.
The Vintage
Club was designed by Arthur Hills and Associates of Toledo, U.S.A. The
terrain at the Vintage is gently rolling with beautifully shaped greens
and bunkers set amongst coconut palms and bougaveas. The design is classic
and subtle with greens receptive only to well placed tee shots, not
built just for the pro's however the course is very enjoyable for golfers
of all skill levels. The refreshing sea breeze helps to keep golfers
cool while making the play of this layout a thorough test of ones golfing
ability and repertoire of shots. Other Arthur Hills designed courses
include Eagle Trace, Bonita Bay and Big Horn.
Highlights
of the course include Hole No. 8, a 191 yard Par 3. Three bunkers protect
the front part of the green with lakes to the right and left, due to
it's location the green is crossed by strong winds and a good score
here is Par. Hole No. 13, a 345 yard Par 4. The run to the green is
protected by a lake on the right side stretching the length of the fairway,
deep bunkers are set to the left. A devious deep swale prevents the
short approaches from running onto the green. This is a long drivers
hole which can make or break a tight match. Hole No. 18, a 414 yard
Par 4. This is a very interesting finishing hole with a generous fairway.
Shortcuts over the fairway bunkers make for easier approaches to the
well guarded but narrow green that features a creek and waterfall to
the right and bunkers on the left. From November through January the
hole plays against the wind requiring long irons or fairway woods for
second shots. The green is one of the most deceptive on the course waiting
to give the unwary a surprise.
The Vintage
Club is a truly a world class golfing facility featuring an 8,000 square
meter club house.
Inside the club house is a 120 seat restaurant featuring an international
menu and several large function rooms. The men's and ladies locker rooms
