An hours drive from Hua Hin, the Kaeng Krachen Country Club is set in a National Park with gorgeous natural surrounds of hills, lakes and forests. The original 18 is a fun parkland course designed by Chird Boonyaratavaj. A third nine, designed by Jack Niklaus, was later addded and by contrast is tough and visually a treat to play. The venue has a good driving range and a big clubhouse with clean spacious locker rooms. The pro-shop is disappointing, with very little on offer. Caddies are keen and polite but many can't speak English.
