General overview: Designer Roger Packard has created a pleasant modern course, typical of the former paddyfield courses around Bangkok, with lots of water, wide fairways and big greens. There has been a great deal of planting, so the courses already are blessed with more shade than many of the newer courses. Lam Luk Ka requires a thoughtful game strategy, particularly on the relatively new D nine. The premium is accuracy, rather than power play. A few holes have water on both sides of the fairway and at the back of the green. The big clubhouse provides every amenity for the golfer.
