Best Golf Courses in Hua Hin 2026 — Green Fees & Course Reviews

About Golf in Hua Hin

Hua Hin has a special place in Thai golf history — Royal Hua Hin Golf Course, opened in 1924, is the country's oldest course and still plays host to visiting golfers on the original colonial-era layout. But the region's golf credentials have grown dramatically in recent years, with Black Mountain Golf Club earning a regular spot in Asia's top-100 course rankings.

The Hua Hin–Pranburi corridor stretches roughly 30km and contains a dozen courses ranging from the resort luxury of Banyan Golf Club (designed by Schmidt-Curley) to the more accessible Palm Hills. Springfield Village Golf & Spa offers three nine-hole courses in a garden setting, while Majestic Creek provides an affordable mid-range option.

Green fees in Hua Hin sit broadly in the middle of the Thai range — ฿1,500–฿3,500 depending on course and season. The drive from Bangkok is around 2.5–3 hours, making Hua Hin popular for weekend golf trips from the capital.
