The International Pattaya Golf Club

The International Pattaya Golf Club was formed in 2000 to organise and coordinate competition golf in and around Pattaya, on Thailand's Eastern Seaboard. It is a non-profit organisation and "member club" offering membership to all players regardless of handicap, race or gender. IPGC offers regularly weekly scheduled competitions and "major" tournaments from time to time throughout the year.

Competitions are organised by the three member venues six days a week. IPGC negotiates with local clubs, on behalf of its member societies, to achieve the best discount rates for competition green fees and offers advice when necessary. All I.P.G.C. competitions are played in accordance with the Rules of Golf as jointly administered by the Royal and Ancient Golf Society (R&A) and by the United States Golf Association (U.S.G.A.), and supplemented by the Local Rules of the course on the day and by those Local Rules of the I.P.G.C. itself. I.P.G.C. players compete using their CONGU handicaps administered by the I.P.G.C whenever available with exceptions being made for those players with well-seasoned and properly maintained outside handicaps. These exceptions shall be determined by the golf organizer of the day's competition.

The I.P.G.C. competitions are run with the full intention that the golf be friendly and that the comradeship on the course shall be carried to the member venues afterwards.
