Eastern Star Country Club

One of just five Robert Trent Jones Jr. courses in Thailand — a mature, links-style layout threaded through a Rayong resort, framed by more than 2,200 coconut palms. Fair, gently undulating, and priced like a steal.

HOLE 02 — THE DAMAGE

We publish itemised green/caddy/cart figures only where corroborated twice. For this course we hold the verified all-in — confirm the current itemised card with the club.

The fine print: ฿1,950 weekday all-in (with a ฿200 food coupon) is our verified figure for June 2026 — see the green-fee ladder, where this sits among the coast's best mid-tier value. We don't state an itemised green fee, caddy or cart until it's corroborated twice, so confirm the current card with the club. Caddy tip (฿400–600, cash) is always extra.

HOLE 03 — THE ROUND

What you're playing

A rare Robert Trent Jones Jr. links in Thailand

One of only five RTJ Jr. designs in the country. The links-style routing is gently undulating and generous off the tee, but the shaping and green complexes carry the pedigree you'd expect from the name.

Palms, water and sand — 530 acres of it

65 bunkers, 11 lakes and more than 2,200 coconut palms thread through a residential resort. Wide, mature and photogenic — a round that looks harder than it plays.

Fair for every handicap

Par 72 at 7,134 yards from the back, but the forgiving corridors make it one of the more relaxing marquee-name rounds on the coast — good for a mixed-ability group.

A southern-side pairing

Out toward Ban Chang in Rayong, it sits with the coast's southern courses — natural to combine with another on the same day rather than a quick nine.

HOLE 04 — GETTING THERE

From your hotel to the tee

Head south from Pattaya on Sukhumvit / Motorway 7 toward Ban Chang and Phla in Rayong — roughly 45 to 60 minutes from the central beach depending on traffic and exactly where you start. It's on the southern side, so build in a little more drive time than the courses closer to town.

No car? Bolt/Grab thin out this far south — for a dawn tee time use a fixed-fare golf taxi (agree the round-trip-with-waiting fare up front) or ride a society bus, where transport is bundled into the day price. The transfer playbook →

HOLE 05 — STRAIGHT ANSWERS
