10 Day Thailand Grand Golf Itinerary
Thailand is the great value golf destination of Asia, a land of immaculate championship courses, mandatory caddies who become part of the round, warm hospitality and food and prices that make a week feel like a steal. This grand ten day tour links the three best hubs, Bangkok, Pattaya and Hua Hin, taking in Siam Country Club, the exclusive Amata Spring, Jack Nicklaus's Laem Chabang and the great Black Mountain. Here is the ten day plan, with indicative 2026 green fees and transfer times.

Who this trip suits
This is the full Thailand golf tour, built for the group or couple who want a ten day run of championship courses, a change of scene through three regions, and the easy, warm hospitality the country is famous for, all at a fraction of the cost of Europe or the United States. The route loops from Bangkok down to the coast at Pattaya and back to Hua Hin, with private transfers between hubs and the odd soft day to rest, swim or sightsee. It suits serious golfers chasing tournament layouts and social groups alike, and the caddie culture, mandatory on every course, makes each round a pleasure.
The two decisions that shape the trip are the season and Amata Spring. Aim for the cool, dry months of November to February, and book the exclusive Amata Spring and the marquee Siam and Black Mountain rounds well ahead, then let the rest fall into place around three comfortable bases.
The 10 day plan
Arrive and settle in Bangkok
Fly into Bangkok and settle into a city or airport area hotel. With eight rounds and three regions ahead, an easy first day to beat the jet lag pays off, whether that means the rooftop bars, the temples or simply the pool. Confirm the order of play and your transfers with your host or planner over a first Thai dinner.
Thai Country Club
Open at Thai Country Club east of Bangkok, an immaculate, exclusive championship course that hosted the 1997 Asian Honda Classic, famous as the venue for one of the early professional wins of Tiger Woods's career. Pristine conditioning, generous fairways and slick greens make it a fine, confidence building first round. Indicative 2026 green fees sit at the premium end for the region; book ahead, as access is limited.
Amata Spring Country Club
Play the most exclusive round of the trip at Amata Spring, the Lee Schmidt design from 2005 that has hosted the Royal Trophy and the 2016 World Cup of Golf and is rated among the very best in Thailand, complete with its famous floating green on the par 3 seventeenth. Access is limited and by arrangement, which a planner can secure. Indicative 2026 green fees are at the top of the regional range; an unforgettable, tournament standard test.
Siam Country Club, Old Course
Transfer down to the coast at Pattaya and play the Old Course at Siam Country Club, opened in 1971 and masterfully renovated by Schmidt-Curley in 2007, a long time host of the LPGA's event in Thailand. Rolling terrain, bold bunkering and superb greens make it one of the country's finest. Indicative 2026 green fees are in the premium bracket; an excellent start to the Pattaya leg.
Siam Country Club, Plantation Course
Stay at Siam for its sister course, the Plantation, a Schmidt-Curley design from 2008 laid out across former sugar cane and tapioca plantation land, with three nine hole loops, dramatic elevation changes and water in play throughout. It is bigger and bolder than the Old, and a fine contrast. Indicative 2026 green fees match the premium regional range; another tour quality day.
Laem Chabang International Country Club
Round out the Pattaya leg at Laem Chabang, a 27 hole Jack Nicklaus design from 1993 set in the hills above the coast, its three loops named Mountain, Valley and Lake, with sweeping elevation changes and water. It is a dramatic, enjoyable test and a fine example of Nicklaus's work in Thailand. Indicative 2026 green fees are in the premium range; play the strongest 18 the club recommends that day.
Transfer to Hua Hin and Royal Hua Hin
Transfer across to the royal resort town of Hua Hin and ease into the final leg at Royal Hua Hin, the oldest golf course in Thailand, opened in 1924 beside the historic railway station, a charming, hilly, old fashioned course full of character and monkeys in the trees. After the big championship layouts it is a delightful change of pace. Indicative 2026 green fees are modest; the perfect, relaxed reintroduction.
Black Mountain Golf Club
Play the best course in Hua Hin and one of the finest in the country, Black Mountain, a Phil Ryan design from 2007 cut through old pineapple plantations and granite outcrops, a former host of the Asian Tour and the Royal Trophy. Generous off the tee but demanding around the greens, it is the highlight of the Hua Hin leg. The indicative 2026 green fee is around 3,500 baht, plus caddie and cart; book ahead.
Banyan Golf Club
Close the golf at Banyan, a Pirapon Namatra design from 2008, also laid out across rolling former pineapple plantation, with wide valleys, mountain backdrops and excellent conditioning, a multiple award winner and a fitting final round. Indicative 2026 green fees are in the mid to premium range, plus caddie and cart. Toast the trip on the terrace after a relaxed last eighteen.
Hua Hin to Bangkok and home
Transfer back to Bangkok for your flight home, about three hours by road, or build in a final morning by the beach or a spa before you go. Ten days, eight championship rounds across three of Thailand's best golf regions, and a trip that delivers world class golf at a fraction of the cost elsewhere. Always confirm current transfer times and tee times before booking.

When to go and where to stay
Play the trip in the cool, dry season from November to February for comfortable temperatures and little rain, accepting peak rates and busy tee sheets, or take the hotter spring or the value green season from June to October, when mornings are usually dry and prices fall. Base near Bangkok or the airport for the first two rounds, move to a Pattaya beach resort for the coastal leg, then a Hua Hin resort for the finish, each hub putting you minutes from its courses. Private transfers between hubs keep the long hops easy, and a caddie on every round is part of the experience. Build the trip around the Amata Spring access and the rest follows.

Thailand itinerary questions
What is the best 10 day golf itinerary in Thailand?
A grand ten day loop links Thailand's three best golf hubs, Bangkok, Pattaya and Hua Hin, with short transfers and a soft day or two built in. Start near Bangkok with Thai Country Club and the exclusive Amata Spring, move to Pattaya for both Siam Country Club courses and Jack Nicklaus's Laem Chabang, then finish in Hua Hin with Black Mountain, Banyan and the historic Royal Hua Hin. Caddies are mandatory and add to the pleasure. Always confirm current tee times and fees directly before booking.
How much does a 10 day Thailand golf trip cost in green fees?
Thailand is superb value for the quality. Premium courses on this route run roughly 3,000 to 5,500 baht per round in 2026, around 85 to 155 US dollars, with Black Mountain near 3,500 baht, plus a mandatory caddie fee around 350 to 400 baht and a cart around 750 baht. Eight rounds of championship golf therefore cost far less than a comparable week in Europe or the United States. These are indicative figures, so always confirm current fees directly before booking.
Do you need a caddie to play golf in Thailand?
Yes, almost every course in Thailand requires you to take a caddie, and it is one of the joys of golf here. Caddies know the lines and the greens, carry or drive, rake, forecaddie and keep the round moving, for a modest fee of around 350 to 400 baht plus a customary tip. On a multi course trip the same standard applies everywhere, so budget for it on each round. Always confirm current caddie and cart policy and fees directly before booking.
When is the best time for a Thailand golf trip?
The cool, dry season from November to February is the best time to play golf in Thailand, with comfortable temperatures and little rain, and it is the peak season for rates and tee sheets. March to May is hotter, and the green season from June to October brings afternoon showers and the lowest prices, with morning golf usually dry. Play early in the heat and book the marquee rounds ahead. Always confirm current seasonal rates and availability directly before booking.
