One of Surabaya's oldest venues, Ahmad Yani Golf Club is a traditional course established in 1989 near the toll road and the Patra Surabaya hotel. The layout follows the natural contours of the hilly landscape, featuring narrow, tree-lined fairways. It offers a quality, enjoyable round particularly suited for golfers who appreciate classic European or English-style course design.

Designed to host both local and international tournaments, Ciputra Golf Club & Hotel Surabaya features three distinct 9-hole, par-36 loops. The Valley and Lake courses offer the best conditioning, while the Hill course provides the toughest test, with five tee boxes ensuring a versatile and challenging experience for all skill levels. Open daily, the well-maintained property includes an onsite hotel, golf villas, and first-rate amenities like a driving range, warm-up area, pro shop, locker rooms, two restaurants, and full caddie service.

Designed by Jack Nicklaus II, Bukit Darmo Golf is a championship course conveniently located just ten minutes from the Surabaya city center, offering great photo opportunities with views of surrounding volcanoes from most holes. The layout features a varied, engaging routing that provides a distinct and pleasant experience on every hole for players of all skill levels. While it sees few tourists—meaning international-standard amenities and services should not be expected—the golf is decent, the caddies are excellent, and the overall experience is well worth a visit.

Tucked into the Wiang Chai Hills just 40 minutes from Chiang Rai, Waterford Valley Golf Club is situated in one of the most picturesque and refreshingly cool regions of Thailand. The par-72 course sits atop a mostly flat plateau, enveloped by lush valleys and striking mountain peaks that offer a beautiful backdrop to your round. Designed in 1994 by Rather International, the layout weaves through mature trees and shrubs, establishing itself as one of the country's most visually stunning golf destinations.

Local expatriates and residents widely consider Santiburi Country Club to be one of the finest courses in Thailand—high praise given the country's competitive golf landscape. As Chiang Rai's inaugural golf course, this Robert Trent Jones Jr. masterpiece spans expansive fields, combining superb hole routing with a brilliant array of bunkers and water hazards. It is universally recognized as one of the best-designed and most meticulously maintained golf facilities in Asia.

Sprawling across 1,200 rai in the Northern Thailand foothills near Chiang Rai, Happy City Golf Resort stands out as the world’s only 29-hole golf facility. This Korean-owned property features three main 9-hole loops designed by local Thai professionals—Lakeside, Mountain Breeze, and River—complemented by two extra maintenance holes that allow for course upkeep without impacting daily play. Since opening in 2012, the course has undergone several upgrades, including extensive tree planting in 2013 and a complete fairways re-turfing to hardy Bermuda grass in 2014. This turf allows the course to handle the region's cooler, dry winter months relatively well, though overall maintenance standards can vary.
