Day 6 (B)

After breakfast at your hotel, you will be transported to Banyan Golf Club. Built among a pineapple plantation, Banyan Golf Club opened in October 2008. The course provides for spectacular mountain and ocean views from most all of the holes and is the best conditioned layout in the area. Lush Zoysia fairways, a local grass but rarely seen on golf courses in Thailand, are a pleasure to hit from as balls sit up nice throughout the fairways and roughs. Dark green Paspalum tee boxes add to the stark color contrast on the course and are a nice decorative feature. Tiff Eagle greens make for fast but receptive putting surfaces. After golf, you will be transported back to your hotel.

Day 7 (B)

After breakfast at your hotel, you will be transported to Black Mountain Golf Club. Black Mountain, host of the 2009-10 Black Mountain Masters and 2011 Royal Trophy professional events, was transformed from lush jungle and fruit orchids and is a test for every golfer. All the holes provide the golfer with a safe route, but for the more adventurous player there is a higher risk option with a potential greater reward. Black Mountain offers generous fairways for the shorter hitters that become narrower for the longer tee shots. The greens are large with many pin positions, with different degrees of difficulty, and the course is well protected by many sculptured bunkers. Seashore Paspalum grass was used for the tees, fairways and rough. The view from the clubhouse gives a panoramic view of the golf course and surrounding valley. After golf, you will be transported back to your hotel.

Paspalum grass is used in fairways while the greens are constructed of Mini-Verde turf from the USA, making the putting among the best in the country. The clubhouse features contemporary styling with posh locker rooms, spa and an excellent restaurant.

After golf you will be transported to Bangkok, the City of Angels and Land of Smiles. Bangkok is a city of immeasurable delights: excellent golf courses, beautiful temples and palaces, shopping bargains, restaurants and world class hotels.
