Siam Country Club, Old Course

Siam Country Club is in Bang Lamung district, Chonburi, near Pattaya. It was founded by Thaworn Phornprapha, the founder of the Siam Motors Group, and the original eighteen holes opened in 1971. The club has been described as the first privately owned golf course in Thailand. It is still owned by the Siam Motors Group.

The original course, now called the Old Course, was designed by the Japanese architect Ichisuke Izumi. For more than thirty years it was the only course on the property. In 2006 the club closed it for a year-long renovation led by Schmidt-Curley Design, which rebuilt the greens and changed the grasses. The course reopened in March 2007 in time to host the first Honda LPGA Thailand held on this site.

The Honda LPGA Thailand is an LPGA Tour event. It was first played in 2006 at Amata Spring Country Club, then moved to Siam Country Club in 2007. It has been played on the Old Course in most years since, with the 2009 edition on the Plantation Course. The Old Course also hosted the Thailand Open in 1973, 1978 and 1984.

The property now has four courses: the Old Course, Plantation, Waterside and Rolling Hills. This file is about the Old Course. Published lengths for that course vary slightly between sources, so this book does not pick a single yardage. It is a par-72 parkland course among mature trees.

The Rolling Hills course hosted the golf competition at the 2025 Southeast Asian Games. The Waterside course has hosted other amateur and mixed professional events. Those are recorded here only so you do not confuse the four names.
