Panorama Golf and Country Club

The Panorama Golf and Country Club (formerly called 'The Voyage Panorama Golf Resort') is on the way to Khao Yai National Park and can be reached either from Bangkok or Korat. The relatively long driving time is rewarded by the golf course which has been built partly through the local virgin forest and partly on a bluff overlooking the whole Khao Yai valley.

The golf course at Panorama Golf and Country Club closely follows the contours of its mountain-rimmed valley host and is often pleasant and breezy. For its hazards, the designers have relied on the natural contours of the land, although water does intrude on holes three, four and 15. Naturally, fairways are often sloped as they follow the land contours, so uphill, downhill, and side-hill lies are aplenty.

There is a particularly tricky shot on par-4 10th, where the player has to tee-off over a valley and across the face of a hill to a blind green that doglegs left. Better hitters will be able to reach the green in one shot, however, if you have not played here before this can be quite intimidating as it looks as if a well-struck tee shot will end up in the jungle above left.

Panorama is kept in excellent condition year-round and is an area stand-out in this regard. Greens roll fast and accurate and fairways and tees are well manicured.

The clubhouse facilities include two swimming pools, local and international restaurants, and basic overnight lodging facilities. The natural environment and stunning panoramic views make for a lovely 19th hole setting.
