Pattaya Country Club
Pattaya
Located inland from Pattaya in a peaceful countryside setting, Pattaya Country Club offers a relaxed and accessible golf experience away from the busier coastal resorts. It’s one of the more laid-back courses in the area, ideal for an easy-going round within a Pattaya itinerary.
The 18-hole course stretches to just over 6,700 yards and features wide fairways, gentle elevation changes and a mix of open and tree-lined holes. It’s generally forgiving off the tee, making it suitable for a wide range of golfers, but water hazards and bunkering come into play on several holes to keep things interesting.
The layout is designed to be playable rather than overly challenging, which makes it particularly appealing for mixed-ability groups or those looking for a more relaxed day of golf. Greens are straightforward compared to some of Pattaya’s more premium courses, helping to keep the pace of play enjoyable.
What stands out is the atmosphere. It’s quiet, unpretentious and easy to play, offering a contrast to the more high-end, heavily designed courses in the region. It works well as a warm-up round or a more casual addition to a multi-course trip.

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.
