Flora Ville Golf & Country Club
Nick Faldo design, world class facilities
The biggest challenge at Flora Villa are the greens. Smallish in size with hard surfaces makes hitting the greens in regulation an exception. Confident short games are required to get up and down and save par. Putts are often equally difficult as fast green speeds put a premium on distance control. The only saving point is that there are few if any undulations on the greens, so most putts are straight.
The 6th hole, a 173 yard par-3 is one of the better on the golf course. Strong prevailing winds can make the hotel play 2 or 3 clubs different depending on direction. The key is to avoid the water in front and deep bunkers on the right and over the green. Find either and a bogey or worse is in store.
The 12th hole is a short par 5, but also quite tricky. From the tee, there is a completely open view across a lake running the entire length of the right side of the fairway. Pinpoint accuracy is needed off the tee to get far enough to the left to set up a good second shot. The approach to the small green is a dogleg right protected by water left.
The signature hole of the Floraville is the 18th hole. It’s a long par 5 which requires a drive to a small landing area on the right side. From there the hole turns left, and two perfect shots are needed to avoid bunkers on both sides of the fairway. Anything short on the third shot winds up in the water which fronts the green. Worst case, a layup might be a better choice with a close chip and one put to save par.
The clubhouse and other facilities were rebuilt and opened in 2018. The Thai restaurant is excellent and serves up everything from golfer snacks to royal cuisine. Flora Ville golf course makes for an enjoyable day golfing in Bangkok and is one of the better-valued courses in Thailand.
花園市爾高爾夫鄉村俱樂部 尼克法度 (Nick Faldo) 設計、世界一流的設施
Flora Villa 最大的挑戰是果嶺。 尺寸較小,表面堅硬,這使得在常規擊球果嶺成為例外。 需要有信心的短桿比賽才能起起落落並保存標準桿。 推桿通常同樣困難,因為果嶺速度快,距離控制更重要。 唯一的優點是果嶺上幾乎沒有起伏,所以大多數推桿都是直的。
第 6 洞,173 碼三桿洞,是高爾夫球場上最好的洞之一。 強烈盛行風可能會使飯店根據方向演奏 2 或 3 個不同的球桿。 關鍵是要避開前方的水以及右側和果嶺上方的深沙坑。 找到其中任何一個,就會出現柏忌或更糟的情況。
第12洞是一個短五桿洞,但也相當棘手。 從發球檯可以看到整個球道右側全長的湖泊的開闊視野。 開球時需要精確的精準度,才能到達左側足夠遠的地方,以便打出良好的第二桿。 通往小果嶺的通道是一條右側狗腿,左側有水保護。
花園市球場的標誌性洞是第 18 洞。 這是一個長五杆洞,需要開球到右側的一個小著陸區。 從那裡開始,球洞向左轉,需要兩次完美的擊球才能避開球道兩側的沙坑。 第三桿中任何短桿都會落入果嶺前的水中。 最糟糕的情況是,上籃可能是更好的選擇,因為切球很接近,而且推桿可以挽救標準桿。
俱樂部和其他設施於 2018 年重建並開業。泰國餐廳非常棒,供應從高爾夫球小吃到皇家美食的一切。 Flora Ville 高爾夫球場讓您在曼谷度過愉快的一天,也是泰國最有價值的球場之一。
