Singapore: IMG has signed an agreement with Chartered Square Holding Company Limited, one of Thailand’s leading corporations, to manage The Master Golf Resort, located in the vibrant golf market of Pattaya.
Destined to become one of Thailand’s premier golf clubs, The Master Golf Resort, located in Silverlake, is a 30-minute drive from downtown Pattaya and is slated to open for play in December next year.
Currently under construction, the 18-hole, par-72 layout is set on a stunning 100-hectare site overlooking the Khao Chee Chan Buddha that has been laser cut into the cliffside of an adjoining mountain which is visible from every hole on the golf course.
