The facility provides first rate care and attention to those who are members and their guests. Unfortunately, the layout is primarily vanilla in its architectural pedigree. The holes are mainly flat and water is used as a constant hazard because of the lack of ground movement. Shotmaking prowess is lacking and the hole differentiation is simply not evident. There are a number of courses in the Bangkok area that equate the non-golf elements as no less important than the actual golf course experience. I have no issue with that but the real reason core golfers go to a given facility is the special characteristics tied to the design of the layout. There's no question the course was in fine shape when I played it -- although I am not a fan of the turf grass since the wherewithal for the ball to roll is fairly limited. But the headliner for any facility needs to be the course and the benchmark I subscribe to is that the design must have elements that truly stand apart on their own merits. That's not the case here.
