Black Mountain Golf Club
Three tour-tested nines in a valley of granite hills behind Hua Hin.
Twelve lakes, two island greens and lights on every hole for tee times into the evening.

Bangkok Golf Club, in Pathum Thani on the city’s northern edge, is the course to know if your only free hours are after work or after a day of sightseeing. All 18 holes are floodlit and the last tee times go out at 7.30pm, so a round can start as the heat fades. It is also a proper test: water comes into play on all but three holes, and Golfasian describes the greens as fast and undulating. MBK, the group that owns Red Mountain and Loch Palm in Phuket, runs it alongside Riverdale next door.
Green-fee players are welcome every day and evening, but you need to book ahead. Call the club on +66 (0)2 501 2828 or +66 (0)89 893 2925, or book through a Bangkok operator such as Golfasian. Packages that bundle the green fee with a cart and caddie are also sold through online platforms such as KKday and TAGTHAi; check the notice period and refund terms, which are usually strict. The club does not publish its visitor rates online, so the price depends on the channel and the day. Caddies are compulsory for every player, and Where2Golf reports that carts are compulsory at weekends. Golfasian lists carts at ฿700 and rental sets at ฿1,200.
The course opened in 1993 to a design credited by Golfasian and Where2Golf to the Thai architect Chird Boonyarattanevet. It is a par-72 parkland layout of about 6,700 yards from the back tees, with five sets of tees and twelve large lakes among mature trees. The club’s own advice is that accuracy matters more than length. Two par threes play to island greens: the 5th, about 150 yards to a small green in a large man-made lake, and the slightly longer 11th, which at least has a fringe around the putting surface. The par-five 13th runs beside the biggest lake on the course for its full length, and the 18th finishes with a large lake down the left that the club says has decided many matches. Greens are TifEagle and fairways are zoysia.
Think about when you want to play before you pick a date. Late-afternoon starts avoid the worst of the sun and finish under floodlights, and four on-course kiosks stay open into the evening. Water in front of so many greens means a few spare balls are sensible. The clubhouse was renovated in 2018, and Golfasian lists a pro shop, Japanese and international restaurants, a driving range and Thai massage, so it is easy to make an evening of it.
The club is at 99 Moo 2, Tiwanon Road, Bang Kadi, about 35 minutes from central Bangkok by road, according to Golfasian. Don Mueang Airport is the closer of the two airports, roughly 10 km away in a straight line. From Suvarnabhumi allow an hour or more. Taxis and hotel cars know Tiwanon Road well.

There is no on-site hotel, so most visitors base themselves in the city. Hotels around Chatuchak and Ari have quick expressway access to the north and keep you near the weekend market. For a short stopover through Don Mueang, the airport hotels are closer still. Nonthaburi’s riverside, just south of the club, has a handful of quieter options if you prefer to stay out of central Bangkok.
Riverdale Golf Club is next door, also owned by MBK, so you can play one in the morning and Bangkok Golf Club under lights the same day. Royal Bang Pa-In, north towards Ayutthaya, and Lam Luk Ka to the east are both within about an hour. Away from golf, Ko Kret, a car-free island of potters in the Chao Phraya at Nonthaburi, is a short drive south.
November to February is cool and dry by Bangkok standards and the best time to play. From March to May evening tee times are the comfortable choice. In the wet season, roughly June to October, storms can halt play; the course had its greens rebuilt after the 2011 Chao Phraya floods.
Explore golf by monthYes. All 18 holes are floodlit and the club takes tee times until 7.30pm, so you can tee off in the late afternoon and finish under the lights. The four refreshment kiosks on the course stay open late as well.
The club lists the 2003 Volvo Masters of Asia, four editions of the Kosaido Thailand Ladies Open between 1999 and 2002, and the Thailand Ladies Amateur Open in five different years between 1998 and 2011.
MBK does not publish visitor rates online, and prices vary by day and season. Ask the club by phone, or compare packages from Golfasian and online platforms that bundle the green fee with a cart and caddie. Check whether the caddie tip is included.
