Amata Spring Country Club was designed by Lee Schmidt of Schmidt-Curley Design, a firm recognised for its portfolio of championship courses throughout Asia. The layout stretches to a significant 7,500 yards, a length that positions it among Thailand's most demanding courses and indicates a design calibrated for high-level play.

This extensive yardage will require golfers to focus on powerful driving and precise long-iron approaches. Situated a 45-minute drive from both Bangkok and Pattaya, the club offers convenient access for visitors staying in either of these major Thai urban centres.

Golfers considering a round here should anticipate a course where distance off the tee will be a primary determinant of success.

Before you book

Amata Spring lies in Chonburi, within reach of Bangkok for a day trip rather than an overnight stay.

The club is private and access for visitors generally runs through a member or an agent, so the practical first step is to establish whether you can get on at all before you plan around a date. Fees here were checked in August 2026. We will check these figures again before the next dry season and date them here when we do.
