Pinehurst Golf Club Transforms Into Green Lifestyle Destination
23 Jul Khaosod

During the rainy season, many Thais abandon travel plans, particularly outdoor activities, under the assumption that rain and golf are incompatible. Yet Pinehurst Golf Club & Hotel transforms the monsoon months into its most vibrant season, showcasing its sprawling green landscape near Bangkok. The facility now functions as a Golf & Lifestyle Community, offering not only a championship 27-hole course but also a hotel, spa, café, restaurant, swimming pool, and nature-immersed recreation areas available year-round.

Korn Patcharasoong, Vice President Advisor of Pinehurst Group, explained that modern urbanites no longer seek golf-only venues but green spaces where they can relax, work, socialize, and spend family time in one day. Pinehurst has evolved beyond golf into a "happiness destination" where rainy season—typically low season for many businesses—becomes the most beautiful and ideal escape near Bangkok.

The venue offers ten reasons to visit, even for non-golfers: a legendary championship course just minutes from central Bangkok; a 27-hole international championship layout designed by renowned Japanese architect Yoshihara Aihara; historic hosting of global tournaments including the 1992 Johnnie Walker Classic and 1994 Thailand Open; and official accommodation for international badminton and water polo athletes.
