The hole is a challenging par-3 that measures 163 yards in length. It requires a tee shot over water to a bowl-shaped green protected by bunkers. High handicappers are advised to aim for the right side of the green to shorten the carry over the water. Some also consider the 6th hole on the Mountain Course to be a signature hole. This par-3 is also over water and can be intimidating for players
Hole 6B (Hole 6 of the Lake Course) at Laem Chabang International Country Club is widely considered one of the most stunning and challenging Signature Holes on the property.
Here is what makes it special:
The Layout: This hole requires a strategic tee shot to set up an approach of about 150–160 yards.
The Water Hazard: The defining feature is the second shot, which must carry entirely over water to reach the green.
Playing Strategy:
For Low Handicappers: Aiming for the right side of the fairway opens up a better angle to fly the lake and attack the pin directly.
For Higher Handicappers: Playing toward the “fairway pad” on the left is a safer route to avoid the water, allowing for a short pitch onto the green to save par .
Hole 4C at Laem Chabang International Country Club is located in the Valley course (Course C). Designed by Jack Nicklaus, it is widely considered the “Signature Hole” and one of the most challenging par 4s in Thailand.
Key Features of Hole 4C
Split Fairway: The hole features a unique fairway divided into two levels by bunkers.
Lower Level (Right): Offers a shorter approach and a better angle to the green, but the fairway is narrow and bordered by a large lake.
Upper Level (Left): The “safer” route for those who want to avoid the water, though it leaves a longer and more difficult second shot.
The Approach: The second shot typically requires a precise carry over the lake to a sloping green well-protected by bunkers.
Visuals: It perfectly captures Nicklaus’s design philosophy, blending natural beauty (flowers and water) with high-risk, high-reward strategy. It is ranked as Index 1 (the hardest hole) on this course.
