Hua Hin offers an exceptional cluster of championship golf facilities nestled between the mountains and the sea. This region, easily accessible from Bangkok, delivers a premium golf experience characterised by diverse, well-maintained courses and stunning tropical landscapes. It is a world-class golf destination for the discerning traveller.
Palm Hills Golf Club
Designed by Max Wexler, this 1992-established 18-hole, par 72 course stretches 6,887 yards and was Hua Hin’s first international-standard layout. The course features wide Bermuda fairways bordered by palm trees and lakes at both ends. The true test lies in the extremely fast TifEagle greens, which require precise approach shots to avoid tricky downhill putts.
Black Mountain Golf Club
This 27-hole facility is consistently ranked among Asia’s elite, recognised for hosting multiple Asian Tour events. Its design by Phil Ryan features rolling terrain, natural creeks, and magnificent granite rock formations. Guests staying at the nearby Avani+ Hua Hin Resort will find this jewel just a short 15-minute drive away, making it incredibly convenient for a luxury golf retreat.
Lake View Golf Club
Offering one of the most versatile experiences, Lake View provides 36 holes split into four unique nine-hole courses: Mountain, Lake, Desert, and Links. This variety ensures strategic play is rewarded. The course’s proximity to any quality hotel in Hua Hin ensures transport is simple, particularly for groups wanting a full day of varied play across the challenging layouts.
Royal Hua Hin Golf Course
Opened in 1924 and designed by a Scottish railway engineer, A.O. Robin, this is Thailand’s oldest 18-hole course. The 6,678-yard layout is a traditional parkland course featuring tight, tree-lined fairways and elevated, small circular greens. It offers a unique historical ambiance with views of the Gulf of Thailand and occasional sightings of macaque monkeys near the back nine.
