Burapha Golf Club
Pattaya
Located inland from Pattaya in the hills of Chonburi, Burapha Golf Club is one of the region’s most established and versatile golf venues. Known for its variety and quality, the club offers a 36-hole complex split across four distinct nines — A, B, C and D — each providing a different style of play.
The A and B nines are generally more open and forgiving, making them ideal for a relaxed round or mixed-ability groups. The C and D nines are considered the more challenging layouts, featuring elevation changes, tighter fairways, water hazards and more strategic design. The C and D combination has hosted professional events, adding to the club’s reputation.
Across the complex, fairways are well maintained and greens are consistent, offering a reliable playing experience. The variety between the nines allows for multiple course combinations, making it a strong option for multi-round golf trips.
Burapha strikes a great balance between playability and challenge. It’s accessible for most golfers, but still engaging enough for those looking for a more technical test. Its location also makes it easy to include alongside other top Pattaya courses.

About The Area
Hua Hin has long been regarded as Thailand’s original seaside golf resort, combining royal heritage, relaxed coastal charm and one of the strongest clusters of championship courses in Southeast Asia. Located around three hours south of Bangkok, it offers a more refined and tranquil alternative to Pattaya while still delivering tournament-level golf.
The flagship venue is Black Mountain Golf Club, consistently ranked among Asia’s top courses. With dramatic rock formations, natural water hazards and immaculate conditioning, it has hosted multiple international tournaments and offers a true championship test. Nearby, Banyan Golf Club Hua Hin delivers panoramic mountain views, strategic bunkering and a memorable closing stretch that rewards precise approach play. Springfield Royal Country Club, designed by Jack Nicklaus, provides further variety with tree-lined fairways and a slightly more forgiving layout.
Golf in Hua Hin is characterised by wide fairways, bold bunkering and superb presentation. Caddie service is standard and enhances the premium feel, while practice facilities are strong across most clubs. The dry season from November to March offers the most comfortable playing conditions, with warm temperatures and lower humidity.
Off the course, Hua Hin maintains a relaxed seaside atmosphere. The night market is a highlight, offering fresh seafood and authentic Thai street food. Beachfront bars provide sunset views over the Gulf of Thailand, while nearby vineyards and national parks add scenic rest-day options. The town’s royal connections — including the historic Klai Kangwon Palace — give it a more understated and elegant feel compared to other Thai resort areas.
For golfers seeking elite championship layouts, dependable winter sunshine and a more relaxed coastal environment, Hua Hin delivers one of Thailand’s most complete and enjoyable golf escapes.
