Thanks so much for the reports and images. This is the first course we are playing next week. 20+ of us arriving from Dubai to explore

Played here in January with @Clem Fandango

Played Monday 

GF + C + C = 2400baht

 

Both of us were keen to try the new course out after the renovations.

My impressions of it is they did exactly what needs to happen to St Andrews or Silly Oaks. Plenty of trees have been removed which will make the course much more playable going forward. 

I think they missed a trick not fixing a couple of greens up that I think are a little unfair like the Par 3 13th over the water where the ball doesn't hold the green much at all.

They have also reorganised holes so you seem to go past a drink kiosk a few extra times. 

All in all changes are not bad. I just don't think they went far enough

 

As for our gamble @Clem Fandangogot the money again but not hard when you are playing someone as bad as I am 

As for my golf still shithouse came in with a 95 

I did though feel this day I was starting to make some progress and did feel like I left the course I was on my way back to some type of form 

Today if I got myself into trouble I didn't really shoot myself further in the foot like I had been doing so that was some progress

Did manage to stitch up @Clem Fandangoon the way to golf. I mentioned the topping the tee shot on the first and it was his turn today.

@Clem Fandango duly saluted and the discussion on the way back to town was that all discussion about first tee shots was now banned 

Did have a bit of a disaster on one of the holes around about the 14th when @Clem Fandango cart shit itself. After loading up my cart with his bag he took the wheel to drive with me riding shotgun and two caddies holding onto the back auditioning for stuntmen roles 

Luckily the staff at Green Valley were along pretty quick with a new cart before there was any disaster

Nice report.  Thanks.

I played there 3-4 times a week in January and February.  I think it is somewhat improved but am curious to hear from walkers if it means more walking with the new layout.  In a cart doesn't mean anything to me but seems like more.

And what's wrong with 13?  I like that hole.  Love watching my playing partners butt cheeks tighten up on that tee box.  LOL

I don't have a problem with the hole water carry etc 

I just find it fucked that you hit the green and the fucker don't hold and it runs through the back all the time 

Not talking about shots that are landing back of the green

You can land it middle of the green and it don't fucking hold

Was a cracking day, always enjoy GV as a golf course. I wouldn’t want to walk the course now with the changes to the course. I can’t remember seeing anyone actually walking.

I agree about the 13th Green, I hit a good high ball in and it landed and ran through. 
 

Next time we go we best not forget what turn off to take.

Played here on a Sunday in June 

2700 Baht Caddy Cart Included

 

My idea to play a " better course " on the weekends worked out well

 

It only an extra 300 baht to play Green Valley on a weekend compared to a weekend plus it gives me the bonus of less travel which is an issue getting back into Pattaya on a weekend 

Left the room at 0650 and arrived at 0730. No issues finding the place and took the correct turn this time @Clem Fandango 555

 

Head out on the course and tee off at 0800 and am around in 3 1/4 hours. Always seemed to have to wait on tees but pace of play was good today 

Had a 91 off the stick. Started off poorly with a double on the first and a triple on the second. The spend the rest of the round scratching around not really getting any pars and couldn't really buy one

Ended up getting 3 in a row but then on the last four holes had really good chances to par all of them but managed to bogey them all. 

Reality is I am playing Ok at present. I had only had three rounds back home in Australia since the horror January trip. Combo of taking 4-6 weeks off to clear the head plus wet weather has kept me off the course. Right now I feel pretty confident of being able to go out and shoot a score around 90 off the stick without any issues. Problem is my lack of "competition" I stead of practice is harming me at present

I feel a score in the lower 80s is available to me at present but I just can't get the game together enough to nail enough putts or eliminate the glaring fuck up errors I am having

Perseverance is key and I may not crack it this trip but the "great" game is in the equation at present and will come soon enough 

 

Highlight would be the a par on the 3rd. Took Driver on the Cowboy Line going for the green on a dog leg Par 4  Ended up in a Fairway bunker 40 m short. Who doesn't love a 40 m bunker shot.??

  Somehow I put it pin high and two putted

 

Lowlight be the 10th on my scorecard which is now a Par 5 but my app ain't synching up correctly with the changes but is played as the 14th at present 

Ended up with a 7. Poor tee shot left hit trees. Laid up with an iron to wedge distance. Proceeded to smoke the wedge straight at the pin but too far over the back. Skulled the chip on and found myself down the front of the green in 4 putt territory. 3 putted the fucker for a 7 

As for my game today. 

 

Tee Shots once again hit a lot of 3 woods and did find a couple of fairway bunkers in the fairway 

 

Fairway Woods am hitting well. Still the best part of my Gabe 

Irons hitting well and the only real issue is a lack of accuracy to the target

Wedges still pretty solid and reliable but didn't get to hot enough of them today 

Chipping had the realisation today that my chipping isn't any good at the present. My putting says so. If I having that many putts then it is saying I ain't chipping them close enough. Did hit the flag with a chip in attempt today and was left with a 20cm tap in when it didn't drop in was the only 1 putt my chipping provided 

 

Putting was fucking abysmal by numbers with 37 putts for the round. 2 three putts for the round but only one one putt from a near chip in really hurt. Couldn't buy a putt. I didn't have any issue with speed and kept putting them past the hole all day long today but my ball was allergic to the hole. Even when I thought I had it tracking nicely it would stop curving back to the hole and if it was holding its line to the hole it would swing off at the last second. Reality is I didn't putt badly but wasn't exactly scoring well with the putter 

Bunkers I had three in the bunker second hole but after that I really started to play some good shots from out of them. Got in enough around the greens and fairway bunkers to 

Lost Ball tally came in at 0 and never looked like doing one 

As for the course in great condition and is good value

Nice report.  You aren't the first person to open with a double/triple.  LOL
