Amidst a web of science museums, historical sites and eco-friendly farms, the recently opened Stonehill golf club is emerging as a new landmark in Pathum Thani to promote sports tourism in Thailand.

It's a brainchild of Sarath and Saris Ratanavadi to elevate the calibre of Thai golf courses to meet international standards and provide services for a variety of purposes. Spread over 950 rai, the club was designed by renowned American architect Timothy Slattery of Hart Howerton, and designer Kyle Phillips was in charge of creating the golf course, which represents the preferences and ideals of guests. "My father gave me a chance to develop Stonehill and it was challenging to figure out how to make it more than just a golf course. As a result, our club offers hospitality services that are up to par with worldwide standards and fully functional golf course facilities," said Saris, executive director of Stonehill Estate.
