Green Valley Rayong Left off Highway 3 at Ban Chang, about 20 km south of Pattaya. The designers, Thomson Wolveridge Associates, constructed the par 72 course to take maximum advantage of the creek, creating a series of pools linked by waterfalls.

Carts are available.
There is a small, comfortable clubhouse, pending the building of a larger one. The course is within reach of many coastal hotels, and there are a couple of comfortable ones in the nearby township.
