Crystal Bay Golf Resort, a 27-hole course designed by Thai Takenaka, opened in 1988 under its original name, Natural Park Resort. From 2010 to 2016, the resort was owned and operated by the Legacy Golf Group. Today, it stands as an independent golf destination, located just 45 minutes from Pattaya and 1.5 hours from Bangkok. Known for its "Hawaiian" style, Crystal Bay features palm tree-lined fairways, offering a tropical yet challenging experience. It is recognized as one of the premier mid-tier golf courses in Pattaya.

The course is laid out in three nine-hole loops, each with varying elevation changes and hazards. The design includes a mix of traditional fairways and links-style holes, with water playing a dominant role throughout the course. Fairways are often bordered by water, and some holes require carries over waterways to reach the greens. Bunkers are strategically placed, making accuracy and precision essential for navigating the course successfully.
