Philosophy
“We strive to provide a world-class golfing experience for our 800 members, which includes minimizing our environmental footprint and recognizing our responsibility to the community.  Specifically, we have planted some 2,500 species of trees and plants to create wildlife habitat, introduced a wide variety of waterfowl and other birds, reduced our use of chemicals, and introduced water recycling schemes.   We feel it makes good business sense to adhere to the IGOLF charter, but more important, it’s the right thing to do in order to consolidate our position as one of Bangkok’s finest courses.”
