What a Thailand Golf Trip Actually Costs in 2026

Last updated: 27 July 2026 · fee data from 55 courses

Thai green fees are famously cheap. The total bill is a different question — and the gap between the two is where first-time visitors get caught out. This page itemises every cost in a Thailand golf trip using the published rates we hold for the courses in our directory, alongside current operator pricing.

The short answer

TripPer golfer, excluding flights
Long weekend — 3 nights, 3 rounds, 4-star£450–750
The classic week — 7 nights, 5 rounds, 4-star£1,100–1,900
Budget week — 7 nights, 5 rounds, 3-star, value courses£700–1,100
Premium week — 7 nights, 5 rounds, 5-star, championship courses£2,200–3,400

Add flights: London to Bangkok runs roughly £500–700 return in the cheaper months and £790–1,010 at peak, on median fares over the past year. Price your own trip →

Line by line

Green fees — ฿2,284 to ฿3,207 on average

Across the 55 courses in our directory publishing visitor rates, the average is ฿2,284 low season and ฿3,207 high season. In practice there are three tiers:

Compare regions on the Green Fee Index.

Caddie fee — ฿350–500, compulsory

Not optional and not included. Black Mountain publishes ฿350, Chiangmai Highlands ฿400, Siam Country Club ฿500.

Caddie tip — ฿400–500, expected, and in nobody's package

This is the caddie's actual income. Siam Country Club states gratuities "generally start at THB 500"; Chiangmai Highlands suggests "400 THB and upwards". Pay cash, directly, after the round. Every operator package we examined excludes it — on a seven-round trip that is around ฿2,800 you must budget separately.

Cart — ฿700–1,000, and sometimes doubled

Siam Country Club charges ฿1,000, Black Mountain ฿750, Phoenix Gold ฿700. The catch: at several premium clubs carts are mandatory at one per golfer, driven by the caddie. Two golfers expecting to share pay twice.

Club rental — ฿1,500–2,500

Black Mountain rents sets at ฿1,500, Siam Country Club at ฿2,500 (plus ฿800 for shoes). Often cheaper than airline sports-equipment fees on a short trip.

Hotels

Thailand's all-category average daily rate ran at ฿1,819 through 2025 according to the Krungsri Industry Outlook, but four-star city hotels sit well above it — roughly ฿2,200–5,000 in Bangkok depending on district and dates. Phuket four-stars ran ฿6,000–7,000 in high season against ฿2,500–3,000 off-season on 2025 figures. Expect 30–50% discounts in the May–October green season, and premiums of 50–100% on the islands over Christmas and New Year.

Transfers

Hotel to course and back, for two to four golfers with clubs, typically runs ฿1,400–2,900 per trip depending on region. Airport transfers: about ฿300–500 by metered taxi into central Bangkok, ฿130 upwards on the direct coach to Pattaya, ฿342 upwards to Hua Hin.

What the operators charge

As a benchmark, Golfasian's published green-season offers for 2026 (valid April to October) include:

PackageHotelPer golfer, twin share
4 days Bangkok, 3 nights, 3 rounds4-star฿23,200
4 days Bangkok, 3 nights, 3 rounds5-star Pullman฿25,300
4 days Pattaya, 3 nights, 3 rounds4-star Centara฿22,900
5 days Phuket, 4 nights, 3 rounds4-star฿18,900
8 days Hua Hin, 7 nights, 4 rounds4-star Maven฿27,000
8 days Hua Hin, 7 nights, 4 rounds5-star Hilton฿34,200

Australian operators price comparable land-only trips at roughly A$1,545 for eight days in Hua Hin with five rounds, A$1,685 for a week in Bangkok with five rounds, and A$2,245 for ten nights in Pattaya with seven rounds.

Travelling alone costs you. Single supplements on those packages run from 11% to 41% — the worst case adds ฿14,000 to a seven-night Hua Hin trip. Golf in Thailand is priced for pairs.

Worth knowing in the other direction: agent rates sometimes beat the club's own desk. Siam Country Club's Old Course publishes ฿6,500 weekday green fee only, while agent packages for the same course have appeared around ฿6,100 including caddie and cart.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a week of golf in Thailand?

For seven nights with five rounds at a four-star hotel, budget roughly £1,100–£1,900 per golfer excluding flights. Green fees average ฿2,284 low season and ฿3,207 high season across the 55 courses publishing rates in our directory, before compulsory caddie fees and tips.

What is not included in a Thailand golf package?

Flights, insurance, visa costs, meals beyond breakfast, drinks — and critically, caddie tips. Every operator we checked excludes gratuities, yet they are expected in cash at ฿400–500 per round. Over seven rounds that is roughly ฿2,800 per golfer that never appears in the package price.

Are green fees cheaper in Thailand's low season?

Yes, substantially. Many courses publish separate low and high season rates, and the gap can be 30–50% at resort courses. Hotels drop by a similar margin outside November to March. The trade-off is heat and afternoon rain.

How much should I tip a caddie in Thailand?

฿400–500 per round is correct and respectable, paid in cash directly to your caddie at the end of the round. At premium clubs, or for exceptional service, ฿600–1,000 is common. Siam Country Club's own guidance says gratuities generally start at ฿500.
