Bonanza Golf & Country Club

Overview: Bonanza Golf & Country Club is an 18-hole mountain course in Pak Chong, on the Khao Yai golf route northeast of Bangkok. The current operator gives a par of 72 and 7,482 yards from the back tees, while the resort's golf description places the course in elevated terrain near Khao Yai National Park. Fairways follow a rolling landscape with large trees, changing slopes and strategically placed bunkers. The result is a resort round that relies on position and control as much as length. Accommodation, a driving range, pro shop and on-course support make it a natural base for a multi-day Khao Yai golf trip.

History: Bonanza developed as part of the wider Bonanza Khao Yai resort area and became known as an 18-hole championship course. It was selected as a venue for the 24th SEA Games, giving the course a documented competitive role in Thailand's sporting history. Sources disagree on the original opening year and on some older designer listings, so the profile retains Bob McFarland, the attribution supported by current operator material, but leaves the year blank. The course continues to be presented as an active resort layout rather than a historic private club.

Did You Know? The course's elevation is part of its identity, not just a scenic backdrop. The operator describes fairways that bend through valleys and changing levels with views toward the surrounding mountains, while the resort notes that the layout was chosen for a major regional sporting event. A round can therefore feel both relaxed and distinctly championship-oriented.
