A Thailand golf trip suits golfers who want quality, value and a holiday around the golf, from the buzz of Bangkok to the beaches of Hua Hin and Phuket. The courses are immaculately kept, caddies are part of the experience, and the off course life, the food, the culture, the warmth, makes it a destination for couples and groups alike.
It is also one of the best value golf destinations in the world for the quality on offer. Base in one or two regions, play a different championship course each day, and fold in the beaches, temples and night markets around the rounds.
Widely considered the best course in Thailand, Black Mountain in Hua Hin has ranked among Asia's top courses repeatedly, with dramatic elevation changes, water features and immaculate greens. The marquee round of a Thai golf trip.
Phuket's headline club, with two championship courses. The Canyon Course famously hosted the 1998 Johnnie Walker Classic where Tiger Woods beat Ernie Els, and remains a benchmark of island golf.
Hua Hin pairs Black Mountain with Banyan and others for a dense, high quality golf cluster a short drive south of Bangkok, the easiest base for a first Thai golf trip with beaches alongside.
