Back 9 HOLE 10
The start of Thailand's "Amen Corner". Water and trees right, and a huge bunker left gradually converge, penalising the longer driver. Settle for a short straight one, followed by a middle iron towards the right side of well bunkered gree. Beware a creek along the left. HOLE 11
The longest par three, with water in front. Lay up if you cannot carry 190 yards comfortably. Large sloping green guarded by a bunker left and a huge bunker right. HOLE 12
Beware of this beautiful tricky hole. It could be a birdy or double
bogey. There is an hidden lake protruding into the fairway on the left.
A good long drive to the left of right bunker will leave only a short
iron for second shot. The creek that crosses the fairway continues unseen
behind the bunkers. Small and very severely sloping green is well guarded
by a deep bunker, and right and back bunkers. There is also a small creek
on HOLE 13
This longest par five is a sweeping dogleg right and water left. A little fade drive is preferable. Your second shot should be short of a big leftside bunker, 150 yards short of the green. Third shot should be played right side of the sloping green, which is bunkered back and both sides. HOLE 14
Dogleg left with O.B. on the left. Keep to the left side of the sloping fairway - there is a creek on the right. A very long drive to the right may disappear into a series of pot bunkers similar to those of St. Andrew's. Keep left of the pin on a long sloping kidney shaped green. HOLE 15
This pretty "Rose Hole" surrounded by roses with two - tiered lake. The uphill shot needs height to land on the raised green bunkered front right and left. Place the ball on right side of the pin for this sloping green. HOLE 16
Straight medium-length par four with narrow fairway. The pond and O.B.
left, and bunkers right are in - play for the tee shot. Place your drive
on the left side of the fairway for clear approach. The green is very
long and narrow so that the pin position can after club selection by up
to three clubs. Beware of bunkers left and right, HOLE 17
After major course remodeling in 2000, the 17 is currently one of the more difficulty par four. A little fade shot will clear the O.B. left and large bunker right. Short or middle iron is needed for approach shot over the water and surrounded bunkers. Take one more club than you think for this elevated green. You may need a high shot over the large rain tree left. HOLE 18
This vulnerable finishing hole can make you win or lose. Tight fairway with trees in the center and both sides, and O.B. left. Precision is needed on all shots. The humped small green is long and narrow guarded with bunkers on both sides and back. Beware the unseenlake on the right side of the green.
