Black Mountain sits in a valley of tree-clad granite hills about 10 kilometres inland from Hua Hin, the seaside town Thai royalty made fashionable a century ago. It is the most decorated course on Thailand’s Gulf coast: a Golf Digest “Best Course in Thailand” winner, a former Royal Trophy venue and a regular Asian Tour stop. For a visitor the appeal is straightforward. The course is kept in tournament condition all year, the green fee is published, tee times book online, and the day comes with a caddie, a cart and a clubhouse kitchen open from dawn until evening.
Black Mountain Golf Club green fees and tee times.
Black Mountain takes green-fee visitors every day. The simplest route is the club’s Book Tee Times page, which runs on the Golfscape platform and shows live availability; if the time you want is missing, email reservation@bmghuahin.com or call +66 32 618 666. Hua Hin golf operators also package Black Mountain with other local courses, which helps with transfers. Caddies are compulsory, as at every Thai club, and the caddie fee is paid in the pro shop at check-in. Your caddie drives your cart, so two players cannot share one, and groups are capped at four. The club calls its dress code relaxed but expects proper golf clothing. No handicap limit is published. Arrive an hour early if you want to warm up: a shuttle runs from the clubhouse to the range.

The round, in perspective.
Phil Ryan of Pacific Coast Design laid out the course, which opened in 2007. There are now 27 holes in three nines, East, North and West, and the club publishes scorecards for East/North and West/East combinations. From the back tees an 18-hole loop stretches to 7,202 yards, but most visitors play the white tees at about 6,300 yards, and the yellows, at roughly 6,000, suit higher handicaps and seniors. Water is in play on 12 holes and the fairways rise and fall with the foothills, so elevation changes club choice as often as distance does. The greens are the club’s point of pride: fast, smooth and kept at tournament pace. That pace has been tested in eight Asian Tour events, including an International Series stop, two European Tour co-sanctioned tournaments and the Royal Trophy, the Europe-versus-Asia team match.
Make the trip work.
Budget for the whole day: the ฿3,500 green fee, ฿350 caddie fee, ฿750 cart and a tip, which the club says starts at ฿400. Premium rental sets cost ฿1,500, so travelling without clubs is realistic. If heavy rain closes the course before you have completed nine holes, the club issues an 18-hole green-fee voucher, though caddie and cart fees are not refunded. The restaurant serves Thai and Western dishes from 6am, with the kitchen closing at 8pm. A gym, floodlit tennis, padel and pickleball courts and a grass mini-golf course help when not everyone in the party plays.
Most international visitors fly into Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK). The club puts Hua Hin about two and a half hours’ drive south of Bangkok; from the airport side of the city allow around three. Hua Hin’s small airport (HHQ) has only limited scheduled services. From central Hua Hin the course is roughly 10 km west, 25 to 30 minutes by car, and hotels arrange golf transfers routinely.
The club sells Stay & Play packages in its private pool villas on the estate from ฿3,995 a night, which puts you minutes from the first tee and away from beachfront traffic. Most golfers stay in Hua Hin itself, where the choice runs from the Centara Grand Beach Resort, built as the Railway Hotel in the 1920s, to the Hyatt Regency on the northern beach and smaller hotels near the night market. Cha-am, about 25 km north, is quieter, with long beachfront resorts popular with Bangkok weekenders. Stay in town if non-golfers want restaurants within walking distance.
Make a trip of it.
Hua Hin has one of Thailand’s densest clusters of good courses. Royal Hua Hin, opened in 1924 behind the railway station, is the country’s oldest championship course and a complete contrast in age and scale. Banyan Golf Club, south of town, and Springfield Royal Country Club, a Jack Nicklaus design near Cha-am, round out a four-course week. Away from golf, the Phraya Nakhon Cave pavilion in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park is about an hour south, and the Hua Hin night market fills Dechanuchit Road every evening.
Find your season.
The course is kept in championship condition all year, but the most comfortable months are late November to February, when the Gulf coast is dry and mornings are cooler. March to May is hot, so take the earliest tee time you can. Hua Hin is drier than much of Thailand, though September to November brings the heaviest rain, with October usually the wettest month.
Yes. Black Mountain welcomes green-fee visitors seven days a week and lists live tee times online through Golfscape. If a slot is not shown, the reservations team at reservation@bmghuahin.com can check other times. Membership comes with buying property on the estate; everyone else plays as a green-fee guest.
How much does a round at Black Mountain cost?
The published green fee is ฿3,500 for 18 holes. Add the ฿350 caddie fee and ฿750 cart charge and the total is about ฿4,600 before the caddie’s tip. Club hire is ฿1,500 and umbrellas ฿100. Stay & Play packages bundle golf with villa nights on the estate.
Which nines will I play at Black Mountain?
The club publishes scorecards for two 18-hole combinations, East/North and West/East, so the East nine features in both. If you are playing more than once, ask the pro shop which pairing is in use each day so that you see all three nines.
What is the nearest airport to Black Mountain?
Hua Hin Airport (HHQ) is closest but has few scheduled flights, so most visitors land at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and drive about three hours south. Don Mueang (DMK) is a similar distance. A private transfer is the easiest way to travel with golf bags.
