LAKE WOOD COUNTRY CLUB
Aptly named, the course comprises “Lake’’, “Wood’’ and “Rock’’ nines. The relatively flat terrain is enhanced buy a profusion of flowers and shrubs. Water features on twenty-two of the twenty-seven holes and there are perhaps more dog-leg holes at Lakewood than any other course in Thailand. It is the clever use of water which makes so many holes play as dog-leg, particularly from the teeing ground. At the seventh hole on the “Wood’’ nine, most players will opt to play their tee shot well left, in order to avoid the huge lateral water hazard which stretches right across the fairway. The clubhouse is palatial.
