Just a three-hour drive south of Bangkok, Hua Hin offers a completely different vibe from the neon lights of Pattaya or the island pace of Phuket. This is Thailand’s original beach resort a favorite of the Thai Royal Family for nearly a century. For golfers, Hua Hin is sophistication personified. It combines a laid-back, aristocratic charm with some of the most spectacular mountain-backed courses in Asia. If you are looking for a destination that pairs world-class championship layouts with authentic Thai seaside culture and award-winning wellness, Hua Hin is your perfect match.
In a town famous for its royal heritage, these three courses wear the crown.
The Gold Standard of Asian Golf Consistently ranked among the top 100 courses in the world outside the US, Black Mountain is a masterpiece. Nestled in a valley surrounded by huge black granite mountains, this course has hosted multiple European and Asian Tour events. The service is impeccable, the conditioning is flawless, and the layout is pure exhilaration.
The Par-5 6th on the East Course is a “risk-reward” dream, featuring a peninsula green that dares you to go for it in two.
Sunset Perfection Recently rebranded but retaining all its glory, Pineapple Valley offers the most visually stunning round in the region. The course winds through a former pineapple plantation with significant elevation changes that offer sweeping views of the Burmese mountains and the Gulf of Thailand.
The signature Par-3 15th. You tee off from a high elevation to a green framed by the ocean in the distance. It is widely considered the “Best View” in Hua Hin.
The Jack Nicklaus Classic Designed by the Golden Bear himself, Springfield Royal is a 27-hole complex that demands precision over power. True to Nicklaus’s style, it features plenty of water hazards, waste bunkers, and doglegs that force you to think your way around the course.
The 18th hole on the “Mountain Course” finishes right in front of the grand clubhouse with a tricky approach over water a dramatic end to your round.
Hua Hin is famous for its “Royal Coast” lifestyle—relaxed, refined, and delicious.
• The Night Market:
The Hua Hin Night Market is legendary. Head straight to the seafood stalls for grilled lobster, tiger prawns, and scallops at a fraction of restaurant prices.
• Local Favorite:
For an authentic seaside feast, visit Chao Lay Seafood. Built on a pier extending over the water, it serves the freshest crab curry in town.
• Vineyard Dining:
Take a break from Thai food and visit Monsoon Valley Vineyard. Enjoy a wine tasting and a European lunch overlooking the vines yes, Thailand produces award-winning wine!
• Weekend Vibes:
Visit the Cicada Market (Fri-Sun). unlike typical tourist markets, this is an open-air art venue with live jazz, handmade crafts, and a sophisticated beer garden.
• Wellness:
Hua Hin is the wellness capital of Thailand. Treat those post-round muscles to a world-class treatment at The Barai Spa or a traditional massage at a local boutique.
• Culture:
Hike up Khao Takiab (Chopstick Hill) to see the giant standing Buddha and a panoramic view of the coastline (just watch out for the cheeky monkeys!).
