Phoenix Golf Club

What is it with Phoenix Golf Club? It's trying to compete with high end courses like Laem Chabang yet resorts to low end pricing tactics like the Grand Palace.

At the entrance to the course there is a large banner announcing Bt700 Green Fees as a special promotion. Not bad you would think Well not bad until you find out that carts cost Bt700 each and they only allow one player per cart. When you add in the caddie fee a round with a cart costs Bt1,650/- 

What I find equally surprising is you have to sign a hire form for the cart which no doubt makes the golfer liable for all damage to the cart. What's surprising about this is that with one player per cart the caddie drives. Shouldn't she sign the form?

The course was pretty quiet today but I can't say if that was because of the sharp pricing policy or the weather. All I do know is I will take a rain check if anybody suggests playing Phoenix again. For Bt1,650 I'll take Laem Chabang every time.
