Golf in Thailand lets you combine several different courses with Thai food, the beach and days without golf. But should you choose Hua Hin or Pattaya? The choice mainly depends on which courses you want to play, how you want to stay, and how much city life you want after your round.
Verti Golf Tours offers golf holidays to Hua Hin from 19,495 DKK with 13 nights and 7 rounds, as well as golf holidays to Pattaya from 20,995 DKK with 11 nights and 5 rounds. The packages shown are per person in a double room including flights, breakfast and private airport transfers. Here you’ll get an overview of the areas, hotels and practical details.
Choose Hua Hin if you want a seaside town with beaches, markets and golf at, among others, Black Mountain and Pineapple Valley.
Choose Pattaya if you want to combine golf at, among others, Siam Country Club with a wider choice of city life and restaurants. A hotel in Wong Amat can offer a quieter base than a central city hotel.
Why go on a golf holiday to Thailand?
Variety in your golf. Hua Hin and Pattaya have several well-known courses that can be combined from the same hotel base. Choose an itinerary with different challenges, or play a favourite more than once.
Caddies as part of the experience. On many courses, a caddie accompanies you and helps with distances, club selection and reading greens. Rules and fees vary by course, so clarify the costs together with your golf programme.
Time for more than golf. With a stay of 11 or 13 nights, there’s room for rounds, the pool, the beach and excursions. It’s also ideal for couples where only one person plays golf.
A winter alternative. November to February is a popular travel period in Hua Hin and Pattaya. You’ll get warm days, but you should still plan around temperature, humidity and the chance of rain.
Hua Hin or Pattaya: Where should you play golf in Thailand?
Both areas can be reached by transfer from Bangkok. Compare the hotel location, the courses you want to play and the length of your trip before you decide. The packages shown include different numbers of nights and rounds, so the starting prices are not a direct like-for-like comparison.
| Your choice | Hua Hin | Pattaya |
|---|---|---|
| Holiday experience | Seaside town with beaches, markets and relaxed Resort days | City life, restaurants, and the option of both central hotels and quieter beach stays |
| Examples of courses | Black Mountain, Pineapple Valley and Springfield Royal | Siam Country Club, Laem Chabang and Chee Chan |
| Transfer from Bangkok | Usually the longer drive of the two; depends on airport, hotel and traffic | Usually shorter from Suvarnabhumi than to Hua Hin; depends on hotel and traffic |
| Package shown | 13 nights and 7 rounds of golf | 11 nights and 5 rounds of golf |
| Price example | G Hua Hin Resort & Mall: from 19,495 DKK | Mercure Pattaya Ocean Resort: from 20,995 DKK |
| Choose mainly based on | Your preferred golf courses, hotel, and a longer package with more rounds | Your preferred golf courses, city life, and the hotel’s location in the Pattaya area |
Both examples are per person in a double room including flights from Denmark, breakfast, green fees and private airport transfers. The final price depends on dates, flights, hotel and the agreed golf programme.
Golf in Hua Hin: Black Mountain, Pineapple Valley and the beach
Hua Hin is a great choice if you want a fixed hotel base and to play several courses in the area. Black Mountain has 27 holes by the mountains, while Pineapple Valley is the course many know by its former name, Banyan Golf Club.
Springfield Royal and Palm Hills are other options for your programme. The courses are located in different areas around Hua Hin and Cha-Am, so transfer times vary. Your hotel choice also matters: a central hotel offers a different holiday than a beach resort outside town.
- Package example: 13 nights with breakfast and 7 rounds of golf.
- Hotels: Including G Hua Hin, Amari, Anantara and Hilton.
- Starting at: 19,495 DKK per person in a double room including flights and private airport transfers.

Golf in Pattaya: Siam Country Club and city life after your round
The Pattaya area gives you access to several well-known golf facilities east and southeast of Bangkok. Siam Country Club Old Course is known as a tournament venue for Honda LPGA Thailand. Laem Chabang, Chee Chan and Phoenix Gold are other courses you can request for your programme.
After golf, you can choose between restaurants, bars and city life. If you want a quieter base, compare areas such as Wong Amat with a hotel in the centre. Pattaya therefore suits several types of travellers, depending on hotel and programme.
- Package example: 11 nights with breakfast and 5 rounds of golf.
- Hotels: Mercure Pattaya Ocean Resort, Pullman Pattaya Hotel G and AVANI Pattaya.
- Starting at: 20,995 DKK per person in a double room including flights and private airport transfers.
A course mentioned is not automatically included in the starting price. Get the name of the Siam course you want, plus the other courses, confirmed in your quote together with tee times and any supplements.

Famous golf courses in Thailand: Which ones suit your trip?
Black Mountain Golf Club in Hua Hin
Black Mountain has 27 holes in the landscape west of Hua Hin. Water, bunkers and tee choices create different challenges. If you’d like to play the course twice, we can look into an itinerary that allows for it.
Pineapple Valley Golf Club in Hua Hin – formerly Banyan
Pineapple Valley is an 18-hole course designed by Pirapon Namatra on former pineapple fields. Banyan and Pineapple Valley are the same course, so they shouldn’t be counted as two different golf experiences in your programme.
Siam Country Club Old Course near Pattaya
Old Course is the Siam course that, among other events, hosted Honda LPGA Thailand in 2026. Siam Country Club includes several courses, so specify which one you want. Tee times, green fees and any supplements must be confirmed before booking.
Laem Chabang and Chee Chan in the Pattaya area
Laem Chabang International and Chee Chan are other options if you want variety in your Pattaya programme. We’ll help you choose a combination based on your handicap, budget and preferred transfer time.
Blue Canyon in Phuket
Blue Canyon is on Phuket and isn’t part of the Hua Hin and Pattaya packages shown. If you’d like to explore other areas of Thailand, contact us about the options. A stay in Phuket requires a different travel plan.

What does golf in Thailand cost beyond green fees?
To compare offers, you need to know the total cost of your rounds. On Thai courses, green fees, caddie fees and buggies can be separate charges.
- Green fee: Access to the agreed round on the chosen course.
- Caddie fee: The club’s charge for your caddie; separate from tips.
- Buggy: May be mandatory, and sharing isn’t possible on all courses.
- Tips: Follow the club’s current recommendation and usually give the amount directly to the caddie after the round.
- Transport: Get transfers to and from each golf course in your itinerary confirmed.
As an example, Black Mountain lists tips from 400 baht, and buggies can’t be shared there. Other clubs may have different conditions. Ask for a complete overview so you know which amounts are paid locally.
When is the best time to play golf in Thailand?
November to February is a popular period for golf in Hua Hin and Pattaya. It’s part of the cooler season, but the days are still warm. Early tee times can be comfortable, especially if you’re not used to playing in high heat.
From March, it typically gets hotter. In the rainier months, your programme should allow for changes. Thailand has regional weather differences, so conditions in Hua Hin and Pattaya can’t automatically be applied to, for example, Phuket.
If you want to play specific courses during a popular travel period, plan your hotel and golf programme together. Also allow time to rest after the flight and for days without golf.
What do our guests say about golf in Thailand?
“Thailand changed my view of golf. The caddies read greens better than I do. The service is incredible.”
– Lars M., Kolding (handicap 16)
