Thailand’s Best Golf Courses (2026 Guide) – 12 Must-Play Courses Across the Country

10 april 2025

Thailand continues to be one of the world’s most exciting golf destinations in 2026. From legendary championship layouts near Bangkok to dramatic mountain courses in the north and tropical fairways in the south, the country offers an unmatched variety of golf experiences.

This updated 2026 guide to the best golf courses in Thailand highlights 12 standout courses, intentionally selected across different regions. Instead of focusing on just one destination, this list reflects what makes Thailand special: diversity, quality, and unforgettable settings.

Och ja – du kan **boka alla dessa golfbanor direkt hos Fairways of Eden** som en del av våra anpassningsbara golfpaket. Oavsett om du letar efter en weekendrunda eller en komplett golfsemester med transfer, hotell och extrafunktioner, har vi det du behöver.

How We Selected the Best Golf Courses in Thailand for 2026

Innan vi dyker ner i våra toppval är det viktigt att säga detta: *att bara välja en handfull favoriter i ett land som Thailand är inte lätt*. Sanningen är att det finns så många fantastiska banor i varje region att det inte ger full rättvisa åt vad landet erbjuder att begränsa sig till bara 12.

For this 2026 update, we didn’t just look at rankings or popularity. Our selection combines course quality, regional balance, playability, scenery, and overall golf travel experience. The goal of this list is not to rank courses from 1 to 12, but to highlight exceptional courses across Thailand’s main golf destinations, giving golfers a realistic and inspiring overview of what’s possible when planning a golf trip.

Vi har valt ut dessa enastående golfbanor eftersom de representerar en bred variation av spelstilar, regional karaktär och prisbelönta banlayout. Men låt oss vara tydliga – många andra golfbanor i Thailand är minst lika imponerande. Fairways of Eden samarbetar idag med över 60 av Thailands bästa golfbanor. Från dolda pärlor till välkända mästerskapsbanor erbjuder var och en en unik golfupplevelse.

So while this list highlights our top selections for 2026, we always encourage our guests to explore and ask us about other regional favorites. Whether you prefer a relaxed coastal round, a jungle-lined fairway, or a highland challenge – we have the perfect course for you.

Quick tip: While this guide covers the best golf courses in Thailand overall, many golfers prefer to focus on a specific destination.
If you already know where you’re heading, you may also want to explore our destination overviews here: Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai – each with its own style, vibe, and course mix.
