Golf in Hua Hin – Thailand’s Coastal Golf Capital

26 April 2025

If you’re dreaming of a golf holiday in Thailand that combines world-class courses, peaceful beach town charm, and a relaxing pace, Golf Holidays Hua Hin is your perfect destination. Once a royal family retreat, Hua Hin has evolved into one of Asia’s most beloved golf spots, especially for golfers who want a slower rhythm, scenic backdrops, and incredible value without the crowds.

At Fairways of Eden, we make it easy to build your ideal Hua Hin golf holiday, with handpicked courses, trusted hotels, and flexible options for every style and budget. Whether you’re a low-handicap golfer looking to challenge yourself or simply seeking a golf-and-beach escape with friends or your partner, Hua Hin delivers a balanced experience that’s hard to beat.

Why Hua Hin Is a Favorite for Golf Travelers

Just a few hours’ drive from Bangkok, Hua Hin offers a totally different energy. It’s calm but not sleepy, lively but not overwhelming. The town sits between forested hills and the Gulf of Thailand, and that mix of natural beauty, coastal breeze, and cultural charm creates the ideal setting for a relaxing golf break. Golfers love Hua Hin for its varied course designs, consistent course quality, and the ability to stay in one place while playing multiple top-level courses all within 30 minutes. Add to that local night markets, spas, wine tasting, fresh seafood, and uncrowded beaches, and it’s easy to see why so many players return year after year. Lets look into more details for Golf Holidays Hua Hin.

How Hua Hin Compares to Other Golf Destinations in Thailand

Hua Hin vs. Bangkok
Hua Hin is quieter, more compact, and less built-up than Bangkok. It doesn’t have the same urban nightlife or skyscrapers, but it offers a slower, more peaceful golf lifestyle — perfect for longer stays and leisurely days.

Hua Hin vs. Pattaya
While Pattaya is known for its entertainment and vibrant energy, Hua Hin feels more authentic and family-friendly. It’s ideal for golfers who want to unwind, not party.

Hua Hin vs. Phuket
Phuket offers tropical island golf and more nightlife, but courses are often further apart. Hua Hin has a tighter cluster of top-quality courses, making it easier to plan multi-round holidays with less time in transit.

Hua Hin vs. Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai has cool-season mountain golf and rich culture, but it’s seasonal and further from Bangkok. Hua Hin, by contrast, offers coastal golf that’s available year-round and closer to major travel routes.

The Best Golf Courses in Hua Hin

Hua Hin’s golf scene is one of the strongest in Thailand, with a concentration of elite courses all within easy reach. Here are the standout clubs you can play as part of your Fairways of Eden package:

Black Mountain Golf Club

Internationally acclaimed and often ranked among Asia’s top courses, Black Mountain delivers a true championship experience. The layout runs through rocky terrain and hillsides, with water, elevation, and slick greens challenging players on every hole. Expect five-star service and flawless conditions.

Pineapple Valley Golf Club (formerly Banyan)

Set against a mountain backdrop with views of the sea, Pineapple Valley offers a strategic, scenic round with undulating fairways and exceptional landscaping. It’s a local favorite for good reason — playable but never boring, with a gorgeous clubhouse to unwind afterward.

Springfield Royal Country Club

Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Springfield offers a strong test with smart bunkering and elevated greens. It rewards good course management and remains one of the best-maintained layouts in the region.

Majestic Creek Golf Club

Tucked into the peaceful hills west of town, Majestic Creek offers 27 holes and a laid-back feel. Natural water features and rolling terrain make this one of Hua Hin’s hidden gems — and great value, too.

Palm Hills Golf Club

Wide fairways, ocean breeze, and a more forgiving layout make Palm Hills perfect for a relaxed round. It’s often the first course golfers play when arriving — and one they return to for a stress-free final round.

Lake View Resort & Golf Club

A 36-hole facility offering variety with two 18-hole layouts — the Mountain Course and the Lake Course. Both are scenic and well-kept, offering options for those wanting to play multiple times during their stay.

Seapine Beach Golf Course

One of the only true seaside golf experiences in Thailand. Owned by the military but open to the public, Seapine features views of the Gulf of Thailand, with cooling sea winds and a relaxed, open design. A must-play for the setting alone.

Royal Hua Hin Golf Course

Thailand’s oldest course, located right next to the Hua Hin train station. It’s a nostalgic, tree-lined layout perfect for golfers who enjoy a round with history and charm.

Extend Your Golf Experience Across Thailand

Hua Hin is a highlight — but it’s just one part of what Thailand has to offer. With over 60 partner golf courses across the country, Fairways of Eden allows you to combine Hua Hin with other destinations like Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, or Chiang Mai in one seamless golf holiday.

Start your trip in the capital, add a coastal escape in Hua Hin, and finish off with island golf in Phuket. Or build a longer itinerary that covers the best fairways north to south.
