Hua Hin is a city in Thailand and has developed from a small fishing village into a popular seaside resort.  The city is in the Prachuap Khiri Khan Province and despite having some development to keep up with modern times, has tried to remain as traditional as possible.

Many golfers are attracted to Hua Hin to play golf due to the variety and quality of the golf courses plus the climate.  The tropical climate makes Hua Hin a pleasant place to play golf for much of the year but the best time to visit for a golf holiday is between November and February, when the weather is cool and dry.

However, even during the wettest period of the year, which is September, the rain falls in short bursts and there is rarely a prolonged period of drizzle.

When planning a Hua Hin golf holiday, you must consider how you are going to arrive and despite having an international airport, this is not the most convenient way to travel to the region.  The best travel option to fly to Bangkok, which has many direct connections around the world and taking the train to Hua Hin.

The journey takes around 2.5 hours and you could hire a vehicle if you prefer but you would be missing out on the arrival at Hua Hin Station, which is worth a visit in its own right.  The station has a very traditional Thailand design and is a good place to start a Hua Hin golf map as right next to it you will find Royal Hua Hin Golf Course.

So, immediately upon arrival you can head straight to the golf course and begin your first round of golf in Hua Hin.

Black Mountain Golf Club Map

Located around 13kms from centre of Hua Hin or about 25 minutes by car or taxi

Moving slightly closer to Hua Hin city and just 30 minutes away by car you will find .  If you were to play just one golf course in Hua Hin, you would have to make it Black Mountain.  This is regarded as one of the best golf courses in the world and should not be missed from a Hua Hin golf map.

Black Mountain was designed by Phil Ryan and opened for play in 2007.  It quickly established itself as one of the top golf courses in Thailand before winning worldwide acclaim.  What was once pineapple plantations and dense jungle has been transformed into a world class golf course which played host to the Asian PGA Tour and the Thailand Classic before becoming a regular feature on the European Tour.

The natural creeks and rocks have been kept in place at Black Mountain and feature regularly throughout the 27 holes which have been divided into the East, North and West courses.  The East Course is the original first nine holes and water comes into play regularly.  The North Course is the original back nine holes which is rockier than the East Course while the West Course is a new addition, having opened in 2016 on which you will find tricky, strategically placed bunkering throughout.

The fairways are wide enough for short hitters and beginner golfers but become narrower for those who hit the ball longer.  There are many risk/reward holes and you face many strategic decisions in terms of the best path to the green.

The quality of Black Mountain Golf Club is superb and you will struggle to find a better conditioned course anywhere in Thailand.  With a clubhouse boasting a 360 degree view of the golf course plus fine dining and a spa, you are guaranteed a great day of golf at Black Mountain Golf Club.

Banyan Golf Club Map

Located around 13kms from centre of Hua Hin or about 25 minutes by car or taxi

Moving back towards the ocean and further south of the city you will find Banyan Golf Club.  Having opened for play in 2008, this golf courses quickly became a firm favourite of those playing golf in Hua Hin and it won the award of Best New Course in Asia-Pacific by the readers of Asian Golf Monthly the following year.

It is tough to pick out an individual hole as being the standout as they are all excellent but the signature hole is the par-3, 15th.  This is where you will find the most spectacular views of the mountains and ocean from the elevated tee boxes.  The hole is not very long, playing to just 147 yards from the back tees but the wind makes it very tricky in terms of keeping the ball on target to the green.In addition to the golf course you will find a practice range and two practice greens complete with bunkers.  Banyan Golf Club is rated very highly in Thailand and you must include the course on your Hua Hin golf map.
