Jack Nicklaus has designed the connoisseurs choice. Boasting the best layout in Pattaya and rated amongst the top golfing experiences in Thailand Laem Chabang International Country Club is the choice of the connoisseur.The 27 Jack Nicklaus-designed holes, (split into the Lake, Mountain and Valley nines after the terrain in which each is set) offer a variety of challenges that make best use of the natural lie of the land. Picking a favourite just seems wrong given that we loved all three, although our scorecard suffered the most on the Valley nine, so if you want to protect your handicap you're better off avoiding its undulations and intimidating water features in favour of the other two nines.
