I promised to post a picture of the Emerald golf course in Banchang following my game there yesterday. As you can see this is a typical links course with rolling fairways and lush green grass with a mountainous back drop. It really is a pleasure to play here if only to take in the magnificent scenery.
Background:
The Emerald is a genuine country golf course with excellent course conditions and quality services. Its clubhouse and other facilities are by no means excessively luxurious, but full of warmth and friendliness in the tradition of the Thai rural lifestyle. The emerald course is a veritable work of art by two well-know golf architects. "Nick Faldo" and the late "Desmond Muirhead" The18-hole world-class design is carved through a pristine rain forest of full-grown trees that still provide sanctuary to a variety of native birds. The gentle, yet stunning contours of the fairways, the volcanic-like greens and the subtle water placements all combine to make the Emerald one the most challenging golf courses in Thailand.
The greens are some of the most difficult that I have ever played, so if you ever play there make sure you spend a day at the range practicing your putting.
