The highlight of the course is the famous 17th hole - the Floating Island Green. It poses a unique challenge to hit the ball onto a small floating island against the wind. After teeing off, you must cross the green by boat, making it an incredibly attractive hole. Feeding fish (tambun) from the boat adds to the fun experience.

Practice Facility:

The condition of the balls on the practice range is quite good, allowing for valuable practice.

It is recommended to arrive early for practice.

Both putting and chipping can be practiced thoroughly.

Restaurants

Even if you're not playing golf, the restaurants in the Amata Nakorn area offer lunch options.

There are two restaurants: "EL Nino" (International cuisine) and "Diciotto" (Italian cuisine).

Diciotto:

Eating Italian food on a golf course gives a special feeling, and the quality of the restaurant here is impressive. It's a great choice for entertaining guests. The restaurant is located to the left of the clubhouse entrance, right next to the men's locker room. The squid ink risotto and pizza are recommended dishes.

EL Nino:

EL Nino (International cuisine) is another excellent restaurant. Breakfast on the terrace is highly recommended, offering a view of the 18th hole and the Floating Island. The restaurant also offers a variety of beverages for a longer, more enjoyable stay.
