Black Mountain Golf Club & Resort, Hua Hin

Consistently ranked among Asia's finest golf facilities, Black Mountain Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 championship course roughly a 3-hour drive south of Bangkok. It has hosted multiple Asian Tour events and is known for fast greens, immaculate conditioning, and a layout that winds through natural valleys and granite outcrops.

→ Good for: Low-to-mid handicap golfers who want tournament-condition fairways and greens.

Accommodation includes luxury villas overlooking the course, so guests wake up to fairway views each morning. The combination of first-class golf, modern villa-style accommodation, and Hua Hin's relaxed seaside atmosphere makes Black Mountain one of Thailand's premier stay-and-play resorts.

Banyan Golf Club & Resort, Hua Hin

Banyan Golf Club offers a more boutique-style stay-and-play experience nearby in Hua Hin. The course features dramatic elevation changes and sweeping views of the Gulf of Thailand, and its clubhouse restaurant is widely regarded as one of the best in the country.

→ Good for: Couples and small groups wanting privacy, scenery, and a strong dining experience alongside the golf.

The resort's private villas and award-winning clubhouse have made Banyan one of the most sought-after stay-and-play destinations in Southeast Asia.

Siam Country Club Resorts, Pattaya

No Thailand golf itinerary is complete without Siam Country Club. The complex is home to four championship layouts — the Old Course, Plantation Course, Waterside Course, and Rolling Hills Course.

   ▪️ The Plantation Course offers dramatic elevation changes and panoramic views

   ▪️ The historic Old Course regularly hosts LPGA events

   ▪️ Guests typically stay at partner hotels in Pattaya, roughly 90 minutes from Bangkok, with easy access to all four courses

The championship course winds through lagoons and coconut groves, and the wider resort adds beaches, spas, and water sports — ideal for golfers travelling with non-golfing partners or family.

→ Good for: Mixed groups combining golf with a beach holiday.

Alpine Golf Club, Bangkok

Alpine Golf Club is a championship course near Bangkok that has hosted numerous international tournaments and stays in excellent condition year-round. It's typically paired with a stay at a central Bangkok hotel, letting golfers combine city sightseeing, shopping, and nightlife with elite golf.

FAQs: Thailand Golf Holidays

What is the best golf resort in Thailand for stay-and-play? 

Black Mountain Golf Club & Resort in Hua Hin is generally considered Thailand's top stay-and-play resort thanks to its Asian Tour pedigree, on-site villas, and course conditioning.

Which Thailand golf region is best for a family or mixed group? 

Laguna Phuket is the strongest choice for groups mixing golf with beach time, spas, and family activities, since golfers and non-golfers can stay in the same integrated resort.

How many golf courses does Siam Country Club have?

Siam Country Club in Pattaya has four courses on site: the Old Course, Plantation Course, Waterside Course, and Rolling Hills Course.

When is the best time to play golf in Thailand?

Thailand's tropical climate allows year-round golf, though the cooler, drier months from November to February are the most popular for comfortable playing conditions.

Do I need a low handicap to play these courses? 

No — courses like Laguna Phuket and Alpine Golf Club suit a range of abilities, while Black Mountain's tournament-condition layout is better suited to more experienced golfers.

Is it cheaper to book a Thailand golf package through an operator like CGE Golf? 

Package pricing through an accredited operator often includes preferred tee times, upgrades, and inclusions not available booking direct, which can offset or beat the cost of DIY booking — CGE Golf can provide a tailored quote for comparison.
