Black Mountain Golf Club
Three tour-tested nines in a valley of granite hills behind Hua Hin.
A former members’ club with four nines by David Graham and Gary Panks, north of Pattaya.

Burapha is a 36-hole club in the hills between Si Racha and Pattaya, near the Laem Chabang port. It opened in 1993 as a members’ club and now takes visitors, who come for the space. Four nines, designed by the Australian major champion David Graham with Gary Panks, make two courses, East and West. It hosted the 2010 Thailand Open and a long run of Singha-sponsored professional events, and its high ground looks out to the port, the Pattaya skyline and the islands offshore.
Burapha’s old website is offline, and the club does not publish rates online. Message its Facebook page, Burapha Golf & Resort Thailand, or try the office line that Where2Golf lists, +66 (0)38 372 700. Most visitors book through Pattaya golf agents, who include it in multi-course packages, and online resellers sell tee times too. Where2Golf says carts are compulsory and caddies are used by all players. Name the pairing of nines you want when you book, and ask for a quote that shows the green fee, caddie and cart separately. Groups are capped at four, according to Golfasian.
Weekday green fee as listed by the agent Pattaya Golf Courses (valid to March 2027); caddie ฿400 and cart ฿850 extra. The club publishes no rate card.
| Green fee, weekday (agent) | ฿2,100 |

The four nines carry names as well as letters. A (American Wood) and B (British Links) form the East Course. C (Crystal Spring) and D (Dune) form the West. Golfasian describes East as the wider, more forgiving pair and West as the more demanding, with lakes, palms and elevated tees looking down on fairways. The highest point, between the 6th and 7th on the Dune nine, has the best view on the property. Golfasian gives 6,948 yards from the back at par 72, while a third-party East card shows 7,185 yards. Golfers are often sent out on mixed routings such as A–C or B–D. Golfasian suggests B–D because it is the routing the professionals played, calls A the most relaxed nine and puts C in the middle.
On the agent’s figures, a weekday round costs about ฿3,350 with caddie and cart before the tip, and ฿3,750 at weekends. If you have one day, ask for B–D for the hardest and most scenic holes. With two days, play East and West once each. Golfasian lists the second 18 at 6,828 yards, so neither course is short from the back. Golfasian lists accommodation, a swimming pool, tennis courts, a sauna, a driving range and a golf academy on site, and describes the locker rooms as adequate but nothing fancy.
Directories give the address as 281 Moo 4, Bueng, Si Racha, north of Pattaya near Laem Chabang. Golfasian puts it about 30 minutes from Pattaya. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the natural arrival airport, as Burapha sits on the Bangkok side of Pattaya. U-Tapao (UTP) is further south.
Nearby: 1. Laem Chabang International Country Club (1 km) · 2. Pattaya Country Club (14 km) · 3. Siam Country Club Plantation (15 km) · 4. Siam Country Club Old Course (16 km) · 5. Siam Country Club Waterside (17 km) · 6. Siam Country Club Rolling Hills (18 km)
Golfasian lists rooms at the resort. Ask the club or an agent whether they are open before you book, as information is scarce. Otherwise Si Racha, the nearest town, has business hotels and a waterfront known for seafood. Most visiting golfers stay in Pattaya and combine Burapha with other courses north of the city.
Laem Chabang International, with 27 Jack Nicklaus holes, is next door. Khao Kheow is a little further north towards Bangkok. Together they make an easy trio from a Si Racha or north Pattaya base. Off the course, Ko Si Chang island is a short ferry ride from Si Racha pier, and Khao Kheow Open Zoo is close by.
November to February is the best period, with dry weather and lower humidity. The elevated tees catch some breeze, which helps in the hot months of March and April. Expect afternoon storms from May to October and plan morning rounds.
Explore golf by monthYes. Although it began as a members’ club, Burapha now takes visitors daily. Bookings go through the club’s Facebook page, by phone, or through Pattaya golf agents, as there is no working website.
East combines the American Wood (A) and British Links (B) nines and is wider and more forgiving. West combines Crystal Spring (C) and Dune (D) and is hillier and harder, with the best views from the Dune nine.
The club does not publish fees. The agent Pattaya Golf Courses lists ฿2,100 on weekdays and ฿2,500 at weekends, plus ฿400 for a caddie and ฿850 for a cart. Ask for an all-in quote when you book.
