Sir James Country Club (Khao Yai)
Signature Hole
“easygolfbooking.com” recommends hole C5, formerly hole 14, as a must play hole at Sir James Country Club. The challenge and excitement of this picturesque par 5 is the final approach shot on to a tight green, well guarded by large lagoon and numerous sand bunkers.
The hole extends a handful 560 yards from the Pro’s blue tee, or a challenging530 yards from the regular white tee. Big hitters can chase the ball down the slope, from an elevated tee, and may reach to the green in two. Most standard golfers should place the 2nd shot wide to the right of the fairway, stay clear of the dog-leg left, and aim to reach the green in regulation.
The biggest challenge for every golfer is to avoid numerous bunkers, and large water pond on the right, guarding a small green. For those fortunate enough to place the approach shot on to a putting surface, a one putt birdie or two putts for par is there for the taking. Whatever the outcome, take your time on this scenic hole and appreciate the breathtaking view all around
Come and conquer Sir James’ hole C5 and enjoy golfing with “easygolfbooking.com”.
