The course has 27 holes in 3 sets of 9-holes named Ocean, Lake and Mountain. All 3 sets are unique and challenging in their own way. In addition to the natural beauty of the area, Phoenix Golf and Country Club has planted many trees and bushes along the course, including large eucalyptus and mango trees, which make a fantastic contribution to the course and help further the Asian feel of the place.

This course, which was designed in 1993 by world renowned golf course designer Denis Griffiths,  is not as challenging as some in the Pattaya area, and less experienced players will find this a better outing than say, St. Andrews 2000. At Phoenix Golf and Country Club, water hazards are virtually non-existent and the difficult and elevated greens found on so many courses nearby are absent as well.

Some of the holes are still very challenging of course, especially the last hole of the Ocean Course. At the 18th, which is situated on the highest point on the whole course, you will be able to see across the whole of Pattaya and Jomtien Beach. This par-5 while really does make for a spectacular conclusion the the course.
