Choosing the right golf course in Thailand should be as easy as choosing the perfect golf club. However, sifting through the abundance of golf courses in Thailand can be an intimidating task. Fret not, as we have compiled a list to make your hunt for the perfect golf course that much easier — Here are our picks of the best golf courses in Thailand.

1. Black Mountain Golf Club

Sports Center, Park

Visitors of Black Mountain Golf Club do not need to have perfected their golf swing to enjoy this luxurious club. The resort is equipped with a number of relaxing and exhilarating amenities, including a water park, spa, tennis courts and miniature golf. Those going specifically to golf will be pleased to find the course well-kept and incredibly green, with rolling hills nestled between emerald valleys. Black Mountain Golf Club is the recipient of a number of different awards, including an award for being the best golf course in Asia in 2016.

2. Alpine Golf and Sports Club

Sports Center, Park

When people envision the best golf courses in Thailand, they probably aren’t imagining Bangkok as a top contender. Being one of the biggest and most visited cities in the world, where would one possibly put a large golf course in this urban playground? Alpine Golf and Sports Club somehow found a way, and it is not only one of the best golf courses in the city but also in all of Thailand. Its challenging course has many slopes and bodies of water throughout, and it has hosted many international golf tournaments. After a challenging game on the course, guests are welcome to utilize one of the many relaxing amenities Alpine Golf and Sports Club has available, including a jacuzzi, sauna and refreshment kiosk.

3. Red Mountain

Sports Center, Park

Visitors of Phuket don’t normally add golfing to their itineraries of things to see and do. The island has an array of top attractions, from temples and beaches to an insane nightlife. That being said, those golfers making their way to the south of Thailand need to check out Red Mountain. The golf course works nicely with an otherwise bumpy terrain, as it moves and bends with a number elevation changes, providing golfers with a challenging and exciting course. The Tinidee Golf Resort sits just adjacent to this breathtaking course as well.

5. Santiburi Country Club

Chiang Rai is quite the trek for the average traveler. Its distance, however, is not an obstacle for those looking to golf on some of the most beautiful greenery in the country. Santiburi Country Club was the first ever golf course in Chiang Rai. In addition to the impeccable golf course, the country club is also home to a restaurant, beer garden, sauna room and more.

6. Banyan Resort and Golf Club

Golf resorts do not get much more picturesque than the Banyan Resort and Golf Club. Located in the touristy city of Hua Hin, one might think this resort would reflect an unwanted, crowded vibe. This is not the case, however, as Banyan Resort and Golf Club provides guests the ultimate golfing experience, in addition to stunning accommodation. All 18 holes give guests ample opportunity to put their golfing skills to the test. Afterward, golfers can make their way to one of the many onsite amenities, including the Coral Restaurant & Bar or the Splash Pool Bar. The Banyan Resort and Golf Club is also home to a relaxing spa where guests can unwind after a busy day on the course.

7. Laem Chabang International Country Club

Visitors of Laem Chabang International Country Club will be pleased to find that its golf course challenges their skill levels as well as provides them with an impeccable golfing experience. The course is perfectly manicured, with picturesque mountains surrounding this country club on all sides. If golfing tires you out, beat the heat after a long day on the course at Laem Chabang International Country Club’s swimming pool and kiosk, with lush, viridescent trees providing swimmers with some privacy. Since 1995, the course has been home to a number of different golf tournaments, which is unsurprising considering its impeccable course. The landscape is so breathtaking, in fact, you might find yourself getting distracted as you align your club in hopes of a hole in one.
