St. Andrews 2000
St. Andrews 2000 names in honour of its venerable
Scottish’s St. Andrews. St. Andrews 2000 is located
in picturesque hilly countryside in the South Eastern
Thai province of Rayong, just over half and hour’s
drive from the famous seaside resort town of Pattaya.
Designed by the flamboyant English-born and Cambridge-educated
architect Desmond Muirhead, St. Andrews 2000 opens
for play in you guessed it the year 2000. The sprawling
par 74 course adjoins its sister layout, the older,
well established par 72 layout of the Rayong Green
Valley Country Club.
It’s not a typ-o-par 74 for an astounding back market
length of 7777 yard, thanks to the two endlessly
long par6. The two monster holes in question are
the 4th and 13th, which weigh in at 855 and 857
yards respectively. Moirhead has created a visually
stunning, sweeping layout that must rank among the
best new courses in the land of a thousand smiles.
St. Andrews 2000, an uncompromisingly
tough golf course that will test even the best of
golfers to their limits.
