Silky Oak Country Club

One of the coast's most unconventional layouts: 18 holes built around 18 greens but just nine wide fairways, with big, receptive greens. Built by the St Andrews 2000 team and opened in 2010 — forgiving, quirky, and a genuinely different day out.

The fine print: ฿2,650 weekday all-in is our verified figure for June 2026 (see the green-fee ladder). 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

18 greens, 9 fairways — the talking point

Silky Oak's holes share nine wide fairways between 18 greens. It sounds strange, plays generous off the tee, and puts the emphasis on your approach into big, receptive greens. Nothing else near Pattaya plays quite like it.

Built by the St Andrews 2000 team

No big overseas name — it's the work of the crew behind neighbouring St Andrews 2000, which shows in the bold, roomy feel. A natural pairing with its sister course for a southern-side double.

Forgiving and confidence-building

Wide fairways and large greens make it a kind round for higher handicaps and a fun, low-stress warm-up for better players — par 72 without the intimidation.

One of the newer builds (2010)

Younger than most of the coast's courses, so the design leans modern and the conditioning is generally good value at the price.

HOLE 04 — GETTING THERE

From your hotel to the tee

Silky Oak is in Ban Chang, Rayong — on the southern side, about 40 minutes from central Pattaya via Sukhumvit / Motorway 7, right by St Andrews 2000. That makes the two an easy 36-hole day.

No car? Bolt/Grab thin out this far south — for a dawn tee 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

Asked every week

What is unusual about Silky Oak's layout?

Its 18 holes are built around 18 greens but share only nine wide fairways, with large greens designed to suit a range of skill levels. It's an unconventional, forgiving layout — confirm the current routing with the club, as it plays differently from a standard 18.

How much does Silky Oak cost?

Our verified weekday all-in was ฿2,650 (green fee, caddy and cart) in June 2026. Fees move seasonally, so confirm the current itemised rate with the club before booking.

Who built Silky Oak?

It was created by the team behind St Andrews 2000 rather than a big-name overseas designer, and opened in 2010. It's in Ban Chang, Rayong, about 40 minutes south of Pattaya.
