Love the way your skirt flips up on your follow through!
Wow, I'm retired in Pattaya (Jomtien). My group plays the two cheapest courses around, Royal Thai Navy (Phlutaluang) and Emerald. Weekday rates run us about 800-1200 thb for the green fee, cart, and caddy fee, depending on the time of the year. Plus most of the guys tip the caddy about 500 thb. They're definitely not resort style courses like you've been playing, but they're comparable to my local courses (non-resort) back in Hawaii. Great video. I haven't played many of the resort courses around Pattaya. I have played them around Hua Hin, and there are some gorgeous courses there - Springfield, Lakeview, Black Mountain etc.
Thanks for the information! And yes, a few people have mentioned Hua Hin as a great golf destination, especially Black Mountain
super fast update love it 👍
Wow! What a beautiful course! Thanks for sharing!
Shan absolutely ❤ you’re videos. Thanks for making & sharing. Really wanted to see a birdie! My favorite part is seeing the blue bird pop up on the screen 😎🤣
Thank you! I really wanted a birdie too 😂
Thanks for sharing your golf experiences. You’re hitting your irons nicely and solid. Jack’s design courses are all hard as i know. We have nice courses here in Philippines, maybe same or cheaper as in Thailand.
Yep! Every Nicklaus course I've played is challenging in some way, usually around the greens 😂
When I'm in Pattaya I always try to play a new course as there are so many. Pattaya Country Club is my "home" course but I like to play Laem Chabang and Chee Chan with Phoenix Gold being my favourite. Thanks for the video.
I haven't played Pattaya Country Club or Phenix Gold! Maybe next time 😊
@@GolfwithShan Phoenix Gold is a must. enjoy!
Great video I'm looking forward to playing there in July looking forward to seeing the other courses you play it would be good to see a video on the hotel and travel company you use
I'm thinking of making a video about our experience with GolfAsian 😊
Our hotel in Pattaya was very mediocre... especially with our golf clubs, there was no space to walk. The shower was not separate, it had 2 sliding glass doors and only a foot from the bed lol
@GolfwithShan I'm going with Golfasian In July what hotel did you stay
Some of the flys love sun screen. Really. They just love it like beer.
My favourite courses in Pattaya - Laem Chabang, Burapha A&B, Siam Plantation, Siam Waterside, I would say Siam Old Course but it's usually swarming with people who can't handle the course and it takes 5.5 hours to get round. Go there before breakfast. Chee Chan. Pheonix Gold. Green Valley. Bangpakong Riverside. I haven't played Siam Rolling Hills yet, will do that in 2025 for my 60th birthday. Khao Kheow is a course that I never beaten 81 on but will keep trying.
I have played a number of the cheaper courses and quite a few really aren't worth getting out of bed for. Poor condition, poor design, native grass fairways. That horrible broad leaf stuff.
Eastern Star is one of the cheap ones that is worth getting out of bed for.
That's it I think. Pattana, shot level round there but it's not a course I love despite that.
Thanks for sharing! We couldn't get to all the courses this trip because there are so many in Pattaya. Got a couple more to share (upcoming videos), but I definitely need to go back and play the other ones you mentioned 😊
@@GolfwithShan You never can play all the courses, there are just too many. And of course you want to play your favourites twice. 3 weeks = 12 rounds = 8 courses. I think I love the people more than the golf and i love the golf one hell of a lot.
This is my favourite course in the world. I've managed to par all 3 nines. I play it twice every time I visit Pattaya.
Really, that's awesome! ⛳️ it is a beautiful golf course and I'd love to play Mountain 9 next time.
@@GolfwithShan The opening hole on Mountain looks fantastic. Last time I went it was closed for refurbishment so I haven't played it since 2017.
Played the course Jack built back in the late 90s. Think it was about Baht 350 back then.
Oh wow! Would love to play this for 350 😂
Really great vlog thankyou....and i like your swing what is your handicap?
Thanks! Im about a 10 handicap. Although it's hard for me to beat +10 from the White tees at these Thailand golf courses 😂
@@GolfwithShan you really do well playing off the white tees. I'm going back to Thailand hopefully next year and I will play some of the courses you have vlogged. Thankyou so much for your great vlogs they are very helpful
I played Laem Chabang many years ago and I liked it alot. They had a really good lunch buffet and even had masseuses if you wanted a traditional Thai massage. I plan on going to Pattaya this summer and I understand that Laem Chabang has night golf which I want to try. BTW, with Golf Asian, did you find the cost equal to self-booking with Golfsavers?
As a rough estimate, it is similar to booking ourselves and paying for golf transportation (not the taxis, like a big car that waits for you at the course). There are definitely ways to golf for cheaper, but it is completely hassle free with GolfAsian. We got picked up from the airport, all our transportation including to and from Bangkok is covered, hotels, golf, everything. It's worth paying a little more for the convenience on a trip (especially since we are pretty new to Thailand, first time to Pattaya)
I am planning to stay in Pattaya for 2 weeks this Feb, I wonder when is too hot to play? Haven't book any courses yet, I am counting on the hotel concierge or may be theu gold asia, any tips?
Just had 3 weeks out there in November. Feb is a dry month and it gets quite hot with clear blue skies. It boils my head that time of year. Play as early as you can, you don't want to be going out at 10am and having one of those long slow rounds for 5 hours. Unless of course the sun never bothers you. Unlikely the hotel can help you out with golf. Get hold of golf asian and ask for the earliest tee times possible.
As to tips, if you can't read grain on greens you really need to listen to your caddy. She may not be spot on but she will still save you a ton of putts.
^ second this! Thanks 😊
Don't count on hotels to help haha unless you stay at a golf course resort hotel (I didn't but I assume those can help). Otherwise, GolfAsian or Golf Savers.
It gets incredibly hot there, especially for those of us who don't live in hot climates. Tee of early. I recommend buying the 1.5L water bottles from 711 for your round 😂
Caddies generally tell you the putt's break and if it's uphill or downhill. Listen to them, but don't rely on them 100%. Some of the caddies are newer and not as accurate with reads. Most are pretty good at telling you break direction at least!
@@GolfwithShan Hello Shan, I found on this trip a lot of new caddies around 23 years old. (My putter is older!). The older ones seemed to have gone home during covid and not returned. Found another job possibly. But these youngsters were still very good. You do need a pinch of salt when they give you the line because they don't know how hard you will hit it. But they were pretty good all the same. No complaints. Minimum tip is now 400 Baht. I tip anywhere upto 1500 Baht and of course never forget to tip the locker room staff and always leave my shoes for a clean while I shower so I have the excuse to tip some more.
So that's another tip for our fellow traveller. 5% of the population has 95% of the money. Everyone else scrapes by to earn enough to eat.
Shan how do you do the ball tracker line on your shots? is it automated? Im wondering how it sees the ball so far away
I use the desktop version of ShotTracer. I film in 60fps so the software can follow the ball for most of the flight (usually past the peak height) and then estimates the landing spot. Sometimes I have to manually adjust the landing point.
People with bigger channels have much better cameras that can see far away 😂
@@GolfwithShan Ahh ok yeah I ask because when i shoot on iphone too (even in 4k) you lose sight of the ball after the apex so i was wondering how you were getting the landing of it but that makes sense. I'll try that out :)
Here in the US, I have never seen a wash area to clean your clubs. That is tight. I have a Marine Corps friend who lives in Pattaya. He plays golf. I will need to ask where he generally plays at. Thank you for the video. I am a novice (hacker) golfer. I hope to get as good as you are someday. By the way, I am curious. How do you and your boyfriend fund your trips?
Hello! That's awesome, there are a lot of great courses in Pattaya. We both work full time (I do TH-cam on the side) 😊 I spread out the videos, but it's usually only 1 week ish of golf and I try to get as many videos as possible.
@@GolfwithShan hopefully I wasn't being too personal regarding how you fund your trips. I think it is awesome as young as you and your boyfriend are able to travel. I say young because I recently turned 60. I am a retired Marine. I have been blessed to travel the world. My wife is from the Philippines. Anyway, when we aren't in the Philippines, we live in San Antonio, Texas. If ever you and your boyfriend is in the San Antonio, Texas area, I like to invite you both to a round of golf. Take care!!!
No worries, it's a fair question! We are very fortunate to be able to golf in places like Thailand. Thank you for your service and for the invite! Happy retirement 😊
@@GolfwithShan thank you and Semper Fidelis!!!!!
What was the cost and did u book direct or via website?
We booked a whole week package with GolfAsian that included this course. The cost is about 4100 Thai baht on Golfsaver :)
@@GolfwithShan Excellent thanks
