Introduction
The mean temperature in the Khao Yai Area (Khao Yai means "Big Mountain") is cooler than you will find in other golf areas in Thailand, which means that although the weather is lovely, you will not be exhausted at the end of your round. All courses have knowledgeable caddies to assist you with your game and karts are in use on all courses, you can also walk if you wish and the caddies will pull your trolley.
The courses in the area are designed for the serious golfer of high, middle or low handicaps from the magnificent Kirimaya course, which will test a pro from the black tees to the less arduous but beautiful Bonanza course. So come to Eco Valley Lodge and play Golf with us.

Bonanza is a challenging course to play and our home course. Very friendly and helpful caddies add to the golf experience here. Many water hazards for the unwary and plenty of bunkers to practice your sand shots. This course is only six years old but already it is in terrific condition with very good greens. Bonanza gives you the opportunity to make birdies but - beware it is very easy to run up double bogies. A joy to play!
