Ballyshear Golf Links (Ban Rakat Club) Description:

Ban Rakat Club (BRC) offers its members the privilege of playing at the Ballyshear Golf Links, an 18-hole course designed by the world-renowned architect Gil Hanse. This course is one of the most anticipated golf projects globally and is a stunning homage to the most famous 'lost course' in golf history. Hanse, known for his renovations of US Open venues such as Winged Foot, The Country Club, and Los Angeles Country Club, brings his expertise to this unique layout.

Located on the former site of Kiarti Thanee Country Club, Ballyshear Golf Links is just 40 minutes from downtown Bangkok and 25 minutes from Suvarnabhumi International Airport. The course stands out as the first vintage-style links course in Thailand, featuring giant water areas, rolling greens, and numerous blind shots. Caddie advice is invaluable for golfers aiming to score well on this challenging layout.

Ballyshear Golf Links is an 18-hole homage to The Lido Golf Club, a legendary layout by early American course architects Charles Blair MacDonald and Seth Raynor. The original Lido, created in 1917 on New York's seaside property, was considered one of the world's best courses before it closed during World War II. Hanse has meticulously recreated the 18 template holes of the original Lido, ensuring a unique and historically rich golfing experience.

Ballyshear Golf Links at Ban Rakat Club offers a unique blend of classic course design and modern amenities, providing an unparalleled golfing experience in Bangkok. With its rich history, challenging layout, and luxurious facilities, it is a must-visit for discerning golfers.
