About Dancoon Golf Club

Dancoon GC, located approximately 60 kilometers from Khon Kaen, is a golf course that is worth the drive. The course is beautifully designed along a large water storage dam, naturally incorporating water hazards into its layout. Sand bunkers also add to the challenge, making for an interesting 18-hole game. The pricing for golf carts and caddies is reasonable, adding to the overall appeal of the course.

The golf course is not only challenging and picturesque but also well-maintained and affordable. The staff is known for their helpfulness, politeness, and service-minded attitude. There is also a hotel on the premises that has received positive feedback for its affordability, although no firsthand experiences were shared. The restaurant, while having a limited selection of foreign food, is highly recommended. The club sandwich and Phead kha pow moo come particularly recommended.

The course is long and in good condition, with some very tough par 3s. The cost of play, including the caddie and half share in the golf buggy, is 900 baht, which is considered a good deal. For those looking for a golf break, there are rooms available at the course.

The front 9 of the course is easier than the back 9, which has some tricky water holes. The course could use more trees on some holes, but this is not a major issue. The caddies are friendly, although their knowledge of golf may vary. The course is not expensive and is considered the best compromise for price and quality in the area. The clubhouse is basic but clean and well-maintained.

Dancoon has been improving over the years as the fairways mature. The price is very good, with just over $30 CDN covering golf, an electric cart, caddie, and tip. The course layout is flat but interesting and challenging. However, it can get crowded with large groups, and there may be some waiting time. The course is as challenging as the Singha course and Ubol, and even features an island green on the 11th hole during certain times of the year.

However, it's important to note that the course does not accept advance bookings. This can lead to crowded conditions, particularly during the 'Korean Season', when many Korean visitors stay at the hotel and play on the course. This can result in long waiting times and extended playtimes.

Despite this, Dancoon has become a favorite course for many. The clubhouse is nice, and the locker room is excellent. The staff is friendly and speaks a little English. The caddies are helpful, knowledgeable, and fun. The course is challenging and well-kept. A group of four can play 9 holes, with green fees, caddies, and 2 carts for a total of 1800 baht. This makes for a great golfing experience that many look forward to repeating.
