Golf in Hua Hin

For the golf enthusiast, Hua Hin is a dream come true. There are now seven world class championship courses and every year thousands of golfers flock from around the world to perfect their game.

This was the first golf course to be built in Thailand with royal associations going back to the 1930's. It is located right in the centre of town, is very natural and surrounded by beautiful scenery. Renovations have ensured that the course and facilities are modern and the clubhouse is situated alongside the charming old Hua Hin railway station. The restaurant serves good Thai food.

This club is located around 22 kilometers north of Hua Hin towards Cha-Am and was created by Thailand's foremost golf architect, Dr. Sukitti Klangvisai. The Championship course at 7,123 yards is one of the longest in Thailand and there is also the longest hole in the country, a par 6 at 770 yards. Nearby valleys supply water to the streams that zig zag the course and provide natural hazards. A free shuttle bus service runs from the Majestic Beach Resort Hotel to the course throughout the day.

This course is around 19 kilometers south of Hua Hin, on the main Petchkasem Road. There is a par 72, 18 hole championship course and a par 36, 9 hole ‘desert course’. This is certainly one of the finest courses in Hua Hin and is very popular with local golfers. Shower facilities are available and there is an excellent restaurant serving European, Thai and Japanese food.

Located about 20 km’s North of Hua Hin, this stunning course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and was voted as one of the top ten courses in Thailand by Golf Digest magazine. All holes are laid out in vast fields, with lots of water hazards. The facilities are excellent and include a locker room with showers and massage service, and a restaurant and bar serving European, Thai and Japanese food.

Palm Hills was designed by Max Waxler and opened in 1992. It is close to Hua Hin, just a few minutes drive North along Petchkasem Road and is designed to give a Scottish ‘links’ feel with the 18 holes laid out on a large field and separated by big palm trees. There are great views over the Gulf of Thailand and the mountains to the west of the town. The club incorporates a sports centre with excellent locker and a restaurant serving European, Thai and Japanese food.

The course (formerly Milford Paradise & Golf Club) is approximately a 15 minute drive south of Hua Hin on the way to the nearby town of Pranburi. The course was designed by Robert McFarland who has used an interesting beachfront site to good effect, affording magnificent sea views from all areas. A complimentary daily shuttle service is offered to and from Hua Hin. The course is surrounded with forested hills on three sides. The eighteenth hole is played from an elevated tee, commanding a tee shot of 200 yards to reach the fairway.

Black Mountain, located around 10 kilometres to the West of Hua Hin, is the 7th and newest golf course in Hua Hin and looks set to become an absolute classic. The golf course looks very natural and maintains many of the original features of the site. There are a number of natural creeks that run throughout the course. Generous fairways are ideal for shorter hitters and become narrower for longer tee shots. The view from the clubhouse is stunning with a panoramic view of the whole golf course. The clubhouse has a fine dining restaurant, good golf shop and luxurious locker rooms.
