The Ayodhya Links, which lies approximately 50-minutes from central Bangkok, is one of Thailand's premier golfing destinations. The land at the members-only Ayodhya Links has been sculpted into an 18-hole championship golf course with naturally rolling fairways, elevation changes, charming streams, and sparkling lakes which all make for breathtaking views.

Though the design team of Peter Thomson, Ross Perrett, and Mike Lobb were the original creators of the course's ground plan, it was Pitak Intrawityanunt, the current owner and chairman, who completed the detailed design of the course in 2007. Forced to rebuild after a flood in 2011 Ayodhya emerged better than ever, with superior conditioning and a remarkable variety of holes along with the revitalized layout.

Unlike most coastal links the par 72 Ayodhya Links is located above a vast marshland that has been turned into undulating terrain and the streams and lakes, scattered throughout the course, are made by pumping water from underground. The 79 dramatically shaped bunkers and undulating greens of the 7,639-yard layout are intended to challenge the player's vision and precision on every shot.

There are ample practice facilities at the Ayodhya Links for golfers to work on their game including a driving range, chipping area, and a putting green. The well-appointed clubhouse has a Pro shop that can provide equipment as well as experienced caddies and after members and their guests can relax in either the bar or restaurant.
