Black Mountain Golf Club - Hua Hin
Black Mountain Golf Club: The Pinnacle of Thai Golf in Hua Hin
If there is one course that defines the "gold standard" of golf in Thailand, it is Black Mountain Golf Club in Hua Hin. Nestled in a lush valley and framed by dramatic, black granite mountains, this isn't just a golf course, it’s an award-winning masterpiece that has hosted the Asian Tour and European Tour alike.
At PRADD Tours, we consider Black Mountain a "must-play" anchor for any Thailand golf itinerary.
A Course Carved from Legend
Opened in 2007, Black Mountain was transformed from a jungle and pineapple plantation into a sprawling championship layout. The design by Phil Ryan (Pacific Coast Design) utilises the natural creek and the stunning rocky backdrop to create a course that feels like it has been there for centuries.
Championship Pedigree: It has been voted "Best Course in Asia" multiple times and is consistently ranked in the Golf Digest World Top 100.
The Layout: This is a course of risk and reward. Expect fast, undulating greens, strategically placed water hazards and fairways that demand precision. Whether you are a low-handicapper or a weekend enthusiast, the multiple tee boxes ensure a challenging but enjoyable round.
Signature Scenery: The par-3 11th hole, with its island green surrounded by water and the towering mountains in the distance, is one of the most iconic shots in world golf.
The "Total Resort" Experience
What sets Black Mountain apart from other elite clubs is the atmosphere. It manages to feel exclusive yet incredibly welcoming.
The Clubhouse: Perched on a hill, the clubhouse offers a 360-degree view of the entire valley. It is the perfect spot for a post-round "Singha" beer as the sun sets behind the peaks.
Facilities: Beyond the 27 holes, the resort features a world-class spa, high-end restaurants and even a water park, making it a fantastic destination for families where only one parent is a golfer.
