Eastern Star Country Club
Not a great golf day.....
Reviewed by Herbert Steurer; on 27 Dec 2023
Arriving at the reception first the green fee arrangement were not found, then I was ordered to pay the green fee again although I paid in advance, hassling with the teetime, etc. Another foreigner had a teetime 1 1/2 hours before, but he only was allowed to play with me, not alone. The lady wasn't very friendly.
Waiting about 20 carts at the first hole, rushing marshals and starters, no putting green (in repair).....
But we could start in time at 2.00 p.m. The course is nice and overcrowded, no special holes except hole 13 with two greens, playing over water. If you miss the right green, your ball will stroll down a long way to the water. But nice....
There is only one place, where you can get drinks, no food, nothing to eat (hole Nr.11 or 12)
The pace of playing was extremely slow, every time waiting. Moreover one flight before us looking for a lost ball for 20 minutes and it was already 6.00 pm.
So we couldn't finish and had to stop after hole Nr. 15 because of the darkness.
In my opinion it should be possible to play every course within a maximum of 4 1/2 hours, otherwise you should not give any teetimes after 1.00 pm.
The course is overcrowded. Many Koreans, living nearby, and Thais, not many farangs, I suspect, they are not welcome in this place.
In general, not a satisfying golf day, first time in Thailand.
Moreover not cheap if you include greenfee, cart, caddyfee, tip for the caddy (good),for the driver, costs for going there and back to the city, arriving there after 8.00 p.m.
I want to mention an outstanding, nice, polite, smiling, and joking driver, very good driving too, who had just to wait a long time, arranged by golfsavers. Thanks a lot.
