Golf in Hua Hin
Part of the Hua Hin travel guide — see every topic in All Hua Hin Guides.
Hua Hin is one of Asia's best golf towns, with more than ten courses within 30–40 minutes. Green fees are lower than in many big cities, and every round comes with a caddie.
Courses
Royal Hua Hin Golf Course, behind the railway station, opened in 1924 and is Thailand's oldest championship course. Black Mountain has 27 holes and has hosted Asian Tour events. Banyan Golf Club, built on an old pineapple farm, has views to the sea. Springfield Royal Country Club in Cha-am was designed by Jack Nicklaus.
Costs
Green fees run from about THB 2,000 to 5,000, highest in the high season from November to March. Caddies are required: the caddie fee is about THB 400–500, plus a tip of about THB 300–500. Carts cost about THB 700–900. Many hotels and agents sell packages with transfers.
When to play
The best months are November to February, when mornings are cool and dry. March to May is hot, so book tee times between 6:30 and 8:00. From September to November, heavy afternoon showers are common.
Tips
Book tee times 1–2 days ahead in high season. Wear a collared shirt and no jeans. Bring sun cream, a hat and plenty of water; most courses have drink huts every few holes.
