Thailand Golf Itineraries: The Perfect 7-Day Trip

Last updated: 27 July 2026

Seven nights is the classic Thailand golf trip — long enough for five good rounds and a couple of days off, short enough to take as a week's leave. The single biggest planning decision is where to base yourself, so here are three itineraries that work, with the courses that make each one.

All three assume you stay in one place. On a seven-night trip, moving hotels costs you a round.

Option 1 — Pattaya: the value week

Best for: groups and societies, first-timers, anyone who wants maximum golf per pound. More quality courses sit within 45 minutes of Pattaya than anywhere else in Thailand.

Day1
Arrive
Land at Bangkok, transfer to Pattaya (about 2 hours). Settle in, find dinner.
Day2
Burapha
Thirty-six holes and a well-oiled visitor operation — a gentle opener that gets everyone into the rhythm.
Day3
Khao Kheow
27 dramatic hillside holes with genuine elevation. Superb value and a real test.
Day4
Rest day
Beach at Jomtien, the Sanctuary of Truth, or simply the pool. Your legs will thank you.
Day5
Siam Country Club Old
The LPGA venue and the round to build the week around. Book this one first.
Day6
Laem Chabang
27 holes of Jack Nicklaus in the hills behind the port. The Mountain nine is the picture postcard.
Day7
Chee Chan
Under the giant Buddha carving, and floodlit if the heat beat you earlier in the week.
Day8
Home
Transfer to Bangkok and fly out.

See every option on the Pattaya courses page.

Option 2 — Hua Hin: the quality week

Best for: couples, better players, anyone who found Pattaya's reputation off-putting. Hua Hin also has the shortest wet season of the golf regions, so it is the safest bet outside peak months.

Day1
Arrive
Bangkok, then Hua Hin — 3–4 hours by car, or take the direct airport coach from about ฿342.
Day2
Royal Hua Hin
Thailand's oldest course, laid out in 1924 beside the railway station. Quirky, tree-lined, full of character — play it for the history rather than the card.
Day3
Black Mountain
Regularly ranked Thailand's number one, and a proven international tournament venue. Take the earliest tee time you can get.
Day4
Rest day
Night market, Cicada Market, or the beach.
Day5
Banyan / Pineapple Valley
Gulf views and a celebrated short par-3 finish to the front nine.
Day6
Palm Hills or Springfield
Solid, well-priced and kind to tired legs by this point in the week.
Day7
Majestic Creek
27 holes inland — space, mountains and quiet fairways for very little money.
Day8
Home
Transfer to Bangkok and fly out.

Black Mountain Golf Club

Hua Hin · ★ 4.5 · from ฿3,200

Thailand's most decorated modern course.

The big one

Banyan Golf Club

Hua Hin · ★ 4.6 · from ฿3,000

Option 3 — Bangkok: the prestige week

Best for: golfers who want to play the famous clubs, and anyone combining golf with a city break. The catch is traffic — stay near the courses you intend to play, not in the middle of town.

Day	Plan
1	Arrive. Stay east of the city near Suvarnabhumi to cut transfer times.
2	Thai Country Club — the 1997 Asian Honda Classic venue, won by Tiger Woods.
3	Alpine — the other blue-chip Bangkok club, and a Johnnie Walker Classic venue.
4	Rest day: Grand Palace, Chatuchak, or a river trip.
5	Nikanti — three six-hole loops and an all-inclusive fee that covers food and drink, so no surprises at checkout.
6	Riverdale — genuine elevation in a flat city, and premium conditioning.
7	Summit Windmill — a Nick Faldo design minutes from the airport, so it doubles as your last-day round.
8	Fly home.

See all options at Bangkok golf courses, or the courses nearest Suvarnabhumi for stopover rounds.

Planning notes

Book five rounds, not seven. Heat, humidity and five-hour rounds add up. Leave a day free in the middle.
Play early. First tee times avoid both the heat and the afternoon rain in green season.
Budget the tips. Five rounds means roughly ฿2,000–2,500 in caddie gratuities per golfer, in cash, on top of everything quoted.
Cost: a week like this runs roughly £1,100–£1,900 per golfer excluding flights. Price it exactly →

Frequently Asked Questions

How many rounds should I play in a week in Thailand?

Four or five over seven nights suits most golfers. Thai rounds take four and a half to five and a half hours in heat and humidity, so consecutive days are more tiring than at home. Groups that book seven rounds in seven days routinely drop one.

Which region is best for a one-week golf trip to Thailand?

Pattaya if you want the most courses within easy reach and the best value; Hua Hin if you want the best quality-per-baht and a calmer town; Bangkok if you want the prestige clubs and are combining golf with a city stay. A single base beats moving around on a seven-night trip.

Should I stay in one place or move around on a week-long golf trip?

Stay in one place. Thai traffic and the four-plus-hour round mean travel days cost you golf, and packing clubs between hotels is a chore. Save multi-centre itineraries for ten nights or more.
