Krabi is a beach destination with a little golf, not a golf destination. There are three places to play: Pakasai Country Club, an 18-hole course past the airport built by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand in 1984; Hula Hula Golf Club near Krabi airport, which plays 18 holes over nine greens; and a short 9-hole course at the Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra on Klong Muang Beach. For a proper golf trip, Phuket's courses are the nearest, about 2½ to 3 hours away by road.

Pakasai Country Club is Krabi's only full 18-hole course: par 72, about 6,600 yards, in Khlong Khanan district past the airport. It is owned by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand and is a simple local course rather than a resort layout. Visitors are welcome; check the green fee when you book.
Hula Hula Golf Club, about 2 km from Krabi airport on the road into town, opened in 2018. It plays 18 holes over nine greens with two sets of tees, about 5,960 yards in all, and suits a relaxed round rather than a serious test.
The Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra on Klong Muang Beach has a 9-hole course of one par 4 and eight par 3s, built for quick rounds, beginners and lessons. It is open to non-guests from 7am to 5pm; the resort publishes ฿975 for nine holes, plus service and tax.
If golf is the main reason for the trip, base yourself in Phuket, which has eight courses on our site within an hour of each other, and visit Krabi for the islands and beaches. Krabi International Airport has direct flights from Bangkok and several Asian cities.
Three: Pakasai Country Club (18 holes, par 72), Hula Hula Golf Club near the airport (18 holes played over nine greens) and the Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra's 9-hole course. None is a championship course. Phuket, about 2½ to 3 hours by road with 8 courses, is the nearest region for a golf trip.
Caddies are standard at most Thai courses, but Krabi's courses are informal: ask when you book. The Sofitel's 9-hole course does not list caddies. Where there is one, expect ฿300–฿500 a round plus a tip.
The dry season (November to April) generally offers the best conditions for golf in Krabi, with lower humidity and minimal rain. The shoulder months of October and May can also be excellent. Some courses offer lower green fees during the wetter summer months.
Most courses require a collared shirt and tailored shorts or trousers. Denim, sleeveless shirts, and cargo shorts are typically not permitted. Smart casual attire is the standard — when in doubt, err on the side of smarter.
Yes. Pakasai and Hula Hula take visitors, and the Sofitel's 9-hole course is open to non-guests at the resort's published rates. Book ahead in peak season, December to March.
