- St Andrews by Desmond Muirhead
 
     
  Playing in this delightful tropical climate, a caddy lightens the load and regular kiosks offer snacks and drinks to keep you refreshed. Most courses have carts and at some courses their use is compulsory. After the round, the the high standard (and low cost) of clubhouse facilities and services complete a memorable round of golf at whichever course you play. Most courses have carts and at some courses their use is compulsory. At every course you will be welcomed by friendly and courtious staff, to remind you that you are in the Land of Smiles and the Golf Paradise of the East.  
  The golf courses around Pattaya welcome visitors seven days a week. Carts are compulsory on some and available on all courses. A minimum of 150 bht is expected by the caddy after 18 holes. Courses generally allow 5-balls during the week and a maximum of 4 players per flight on weekends and public holidays. To ensure a starting time is avaolable, book in advance by phone, fax or e-mail.
