The Schmidt-Curley-designed Plantation, home to the 2009 US LPGA and the 2015 Thailand Open – has 27 cracking holes. Long and tough, with frequent elevation changes it deserves its reputation as one of Thailand’s top tests. The pick of its three nines is arguably the Sugar Cane course where the 5th, a fiendish par-5 with over 28 bunkers, symbolises the veracity of the challenge.
