Flora Ville Golf and Country Club | Golf Course in Pathum Thani | GoGolf

Last updated: August 19, 2026

Flora Ville Golf and Country Club is an 18-hole, par-72 course at Bang Khu Wat in Mueang Pathum Thani, immediately north of Bangkok.

It was designed by Nick Faldo — a player who won six majors — and opened in 1998. The course is given as 6,747 yards.

Its character is woodland. Stately trees, open marsh, and abundant wildlife. This is not a course you overpower with distance: doglegs and fast greens ask for accuracy instead.

It lies about 45 minutes from central Bangkok. The clubhouse was rebuilt and reopened in 2018, so the time after your round is as comfortable as the round itself. Check today’s tee times and rates on the GoGolf app or website.

Course information

A course designed by Nick Faldo

The first thing to take in about Flora Ville is that Nick Faldo designed it.

A player’s thinking is built into it

Faldo won his majors on accuracy and course management rather than distance. That thinking shows up in his design work.

Flora Ville measures 6,747 yards. Among newer Thai courses, plenty run past 7,000 — this is not one that asks you to out-hit it.

A course that asks where, not how far

The information carried on GoGolf explains that accuracy is rewarded here by the doglegs and the fast greens.

In other words, what is being asked is not how far you hit it but where you put it. This is a course you build by deciding the landing area first and choosing the club second.

What opening in 1998 means

It opened in 1998, so more than a quarter of a century has passed.

Those years show in the trees. When the information on GoGolf uses the phrase stately trees, it means these are not recent plantings but trees that have grown to a size where they carry strategic weight.

The woodland character

Flora Ville’s character is woodland.

Trees, marsh and wildlife

The information on GoGolf names three components of this course: stately trees, open marsh, and abundant wildlife.

For a Thai golf course that is a slightly unusual combination. Most of what sits around Bangkok is either an open layout built around a lot of water, or ground shaped into hills.

How you play a course with trees

On a course where the trees matter, what lies beyond your miss becomes the question.

Water costs you a stroke and lets you move forward; under a tree, you spend a stroke simply going sideways. The effect on your score is not the same.

So at Flora Ville, treat not bending the ball as worth more than it would be on a water-driven course.

What the marsh brings

Open marsh means visual breadth and, at the same time, unrecoverable ground.

Abundant wildlife also means that ground has been left as it is. It is not somewhere to go looking for a ball you put in there.

Bring more balls than usual before you go out.

Doglegs and small, fast greens

What decides your score here is how you handle the doglegs and how you cope with the pace of the greens.

On a dogleg, laying up is the default

On a layout with plenty of doglegs, carrying the corner is not automatically to your advantage.

Laying up short of the corner more often leaves you the angle from which the green is easiest to attack. This is a course where the decision not to take driver pays.

The greens are small, firm and fast

The information on GoGolf states plainly that the greens are difficult. External sources generally describe them as on the small side, firm and fast.

On small, firm greens you aim on the assumption that the ball will not stop. Rather than going dead at the flag and running through the back, it is safer to land short and let it run.

Two-putting a fast green

The thing to avoid most on a fast green is racing a downhill first putt well past the hole.

Most three-putts start there. From the approach onwards, think about leaving yourself on the side that gives you an uphill putt.

Take the pace of the greens at the 1st and the 10th and the following holes settle down.

How to play the signature holes

Flora Ville has three highlights, each with a different character.

The 6th, a 173-yard par 3 — water in front

The 6th is a par 3 of 173 yards. There is water short of the green and a bunker to the right.

The number is not short, but the problem is less the distance than where the bail-out is. Shy away from the right and miss left, and you are left somewhere awkward to get up and down from.

Take a club that carries it comfortably and aim at the middle of the green.

The 12th, a par 5 — a lake down the whole right side

The 12th is a par 5 with a lake running the full length of the right-hand side. The view is open, so the water is visible from the start.

A hazard you can see draws you towards it the more you think about it. Build the hole around using the left side generously.

Rather than forcing distance with the second, leaving yourself a full third shot is what gathers up your score here.

The 18th, a par 5 — the signature finish

The hole the information on GoGolf names as the signature is the 18th. It describes a tricky par 5 where water and bunkers demand precision.

External sources present it as a long par 5 on which the tee shot must find a small landing area on the right.

Because that setup is placed on the last hole, it pays to have built your score by the 17th. Treat the 18th as a hole where a par will do.

How to structure the eighteen holes

The eighteen at Flora Ville is built on making your score early and protecting it late.

The 1st to the 5th — take the pace

The opening stretch is time to measure the speed of the greens and how the fairways are running. Rather than chasing a score, put working out the day’s conditions first.

The 6th — the first gate

The par 3 over water is your first real decision. A big number here takes the rhythm out of the round. The safe side, with a club more, is enough.

The 7th to the 12th — the scoring stretch

This is where you want to gain. The par-5 12th becomes a birdie chance if you avoid the lake on the right and use the left.

The 13th to the 17th — do not unravel

Fatigue starts to show through here. On the holes where trees and doglegs are in play, switch to simply putting the tee shot on the fairway.

The 18th — take your par

It is the signature hole, but it is not the place to force anything. Laying up, on in three and two putts is plenty. Put the ball in the water on the last and the whole day reads differently.

How to think about scoring

There are three points to scoring at Flora Ville.

1. The courage not to take driver

On a course with plenty of doglegs, there are holes where hitting it further makes your angle worse.

A 3-wood or hybrid laid up short of the corner leaves you the easier shot into the green.

2. Come into the greens from the front

On small, firm, fast greens, going long is the worst miss.

You are left with a downhill chip and a downhill putt, and taking three from there is not unusual. Erring on the short side of the club is the principle.

3. Do not go under the trees

Water costs you a stroke and lets you move forward; under a tree you are forced to spend a stroke going sideways.

On a day when the ball is bending, drop down a club off the tee. You lose distance, but not going under the trees gives you the better score.

Common mistakes, and how to avoid them

Over-thinking the water at the 6th

Taking a club that does not reach and trying to lay up short of 173 yards is counterproductive.

You are left with an awkward distance and you press on the next shot. Take the club that carries it.

Looking right too much at the 12th

On a hole with a lake down the whole right side, the ball tends to follow your eyes.

Fix your target on the left side before you take your stance. Simply looking at the water less often changes the result.

Going for it at the 18th

Trying to make it all back on the last hole by taking driver at a narrow landing area is the classic mistake.

This is a hole where laying up is fine. Make par your target.

Never matching the pace of the greens

Fast greens are decided by whether you find your distance control in the first three holes.

If there is a practice green, roll some putts on it before you start.

The clubhouse, rebuilt in 2018

The other strength of Flora Ville is the facilities.

Reopened in 2018

The information on GoGolf describes the clubhouse as a modern facility renovated in 2018. External sources state that it was rebuilt and reopened.

A course from 1998 with a building from 2018. A mature course and new facilities is an easy value proposition to understand.

The Thai restaurant

There is a Thai restaurant in the clubhouse, and the information on GoGolf rates it highly.

It makes it easy to build a day that ends with a meal before you head back.

Practice

There is a driving range.

On a course with small, fast greens, checking your short-iron distances before you start cuts the early mistakes.

Location and access

Flora Ville is at Bang Khu Wat in Mueang Pathum Thani.

About 45 minutes from Bangkok

External sources put it at about 45 minutes from central Bangkok. Among the courses north of the city, that is on the near side.

It sits on the Bangkok-Pathum Thani Road, an easy address to give, and one a ride-hailing driver will recognise.

Getting there

Travel by company car or your own, or use ride-hailing services such as Grab, which are common in Bangkok.

Note that GoGolf does not arrange transfers or shuttles. There are times of day when a car home is harder to find, so telling the driver who brought you what time you want to leave is the safe move.

Planning your tee time

Traffic on the roads north of Bangkok can be hard to predict morning and evening.

If you are taking an early slot, allow an extra thirty minutes on your departure time.

What to bring

The things that make a difference to a round at Flora Ville.

• Spare balls — there are trees, marsh and water. Bring plenty.
• A lofted wedge — for around the small, firm greens.
• Sunscreen and a hat — there may be trees, but the fairways are in the sun.
• A change of shirt and a towel — changing at the halfway makes the back nine easier.

We also strongly recommend rolling some putts on the practice green before you start. This is a course where the greens decide your score.

The best season and time of day

The dry season (November to February)

The most comfortable time. Temperature and humidity drop, and the course conditions settle.

Bookings concentrate in this period, so it is worth holding a slot as soon as your dates are fixed.

The hot season (March to May)

The temperature climbs. An early start is the realistic choice.

There is relatively more shade on a course with trees, but the fairways and greens are in the sun. Keep drinking.

The rainy season (June to October)

Squalls come mostly in the afternoon, so a morning round is less affected.

After rain the greens hold more, which can make conditions more attackable than usual.

Choosing your time of day

Small, fast greens dry out and get faster as the sun gets higher. If you are chasing a score, an early slot is to your advantage.

Who this course suits

It suits

• Anyone who plays on accuracy — a design that asks where you put it rather than how far.
• Players who choose by architect — Nick Faldo’s work in Thailand.
• Anyone who likes a course with trees — a relatively unusual character here.
• Visitors staying north of Bangkok — about 45 minutes from the centre.
• Anyone who cares about the meal afterwards — the clubhouse dates from 2018.

Worth thinking twice if

• You want to overpower a course — at 6,747 yards, driver is not always the advantage.
• Fast greens trouble you — the setup produces three-putts readily.
• The ball is bending badly today — going under the trees wastes a stroke.

On the whole, this is a course for a golfer who wants to think their way round.

Pairing it with other Pathum Thani courses

Pathum Thani holds courses of quite different characters.

Two courses if you are staying more than a night

Flora Ville is a woodland course that asks for accuracy. Follow it the next day with a longer course, or one built around a lot of water, and you get two rounds that contrast.

Courses within the province are a short drive apart, and being able to play two different designs on consecutive days is the advantage of this area.

A day trip from central Bangkok

About 45 minutes makes a day trip entirely workable. Play in the morning and keep the afternoon for meetings or sightseeing in the city.

The other courses in the area are in the section at the foot of this page. Check today’s tee times and rates on the GoGolf app or website.

Before you book

Checking these points before you book makes the day go smoothly.

• Your tee time — early in the hot season, morning in the rainy season.
• Whether you want a cart — charged separately. In the heat it makes the back nine easier.
• How many balls — trees, marsh and water. Bring plenty.
• Time on the practice green — the greens are fast. Build in time to check the roll.
• What follows the round — allow time for a meal at the Thai restaurant.
• Today’s rates and availability — check on the GoGolf app or website.

Slots fill up in the dry-season high season. It is worth booking as soon as your dates are settled.

In summary

Put simply, there are three reasons to choose Flora Ville.

• A Nick Faldo design — the thinking of accuracy and course management is built in.
• Its woodland character — grown trees and marsh, a relatively unusual make-up in Thailand.
• About 45 minutes, and a new clubhouse — a workable day trip with somewhere to sit afterwards.

Flora Ville Golf and Country Club opened in 1998: 18 holes, par 72, 6,747 yards. Doglegs and small, fast greens ask where you put it rather than how far you hit it. The par-3 6th over water, the 12th with its lake down the whole right side, and the signature par-5 18th are the crux of the round.

Build your score by the 17th and take your par at the last. Get that right and it should be a satisfying day. Check today’s tee times and rates on the GoGolf app or website.
