Nikanti’s unique course measures 6,789 yards from the back tees, with each group of six holes having a distinctive look, design, and play.
This incredible Bangkok course has a different routing. Rather than having a traditional front and back nine, Nikanti comprises three loops of six, starting and ending at the main clubhouse. Each loop consists of two par-3s, two par-4s, and two par-5s. Having an equal number of par-3, par-4, and par-5 holes is somewhat controversial, but why not? Par-72 is still on offer, allowing golfers to play a wide variety of holes throughout the round.
Meticulously manicured fairways and fast undulating greens are a few of Nikanti’s renowned hallmarks, and the various landscape features will challenge even the most experienced golfer. While the length can be advantageous for those playing from the back tees, Nikanti places value on skilled shot-making and course management.
This 6-6-6 concept takes inspiration from the six senses in Buddhism and is part of Nikanti’s brand philosophy. The golf course was expertly designed by Khun Pirapon (Ope) Namatra, one of Thailand’s premier golf course design firms. He also designed Banyan (now Pineapple Valley).
The whole golfing visit is enhanced by a superb clubhouse with a five-star chef, even a spa with steam and jacuzzi, and everything works like clockwork. It’s definitely a Bucket List experience not to be missed.
