Black Mountain Golf Club
Three tour-tested nines in a valley of granite hills behind Hua Hin.
A long, modern Golfplan course played beneath the gold Buddha of Khao Chi Chan.

Chee Chan Golf Resort is one of Pattaya’s newest courses, opened in 2018 in the Silverlake area south of the city (Golfasian gives 2019). Its setting is the reason to go. The course is laid out in the shadow of Khao Chi Chan, the cliff face with a Buddha image of about 109 metres outlined in gold, which stays in view through much of the round. Beyond the view, it is a long, modern course with wetlands, native planting and big uphill par fours.
Book through the club by phone on +66 38 196 555, by email to info@cheechangolf.com, or on LINE (@cheechangolf). Pattaya agents sell Chee Chan in packages. Carts and caddies are compulsory, and carts must stay on the paths throughout the round. Golfasian gives four as the largest group the starter will send out. Visitors can play every day, but Where2Golf says you must book in advance. Ask whether your quote includes caddie and cart, because older listings bundle them and newer ones price them separately. A Pattaya golf guide notes that the club’s last published rate card ran only to 30 September 2026, so get a written quote for your dates.

David Dale of Golfplan designed the course. It plays 7,345 yards from the back tees at par 72, and Where2Golf lists club tees of 6,527 yards and front tees of 5,406. A Pattaya golf guide gives a rating of 75.0 and a slope of 138 from the black tees. The ground is gently rolling, and Golfasian notes zoysia on fairways and tees with TifEagle Bermuda greens. Golfasian picks out the long, uphill par fours, which it says are rarely seen at other Pattaya courses, and the bunkering set against native planting and wetlands. It also remarks that some holes are so long they can seem misjudged.
On the agent’s figures, a weekday round costs ฿5,500 with caddie and cart, before the tip, and ฿6,300 at weekends. That puts Chee Chan between Phoenix Gold and the Siam courses in price. Take the tees seriously: the course is long, and the path-only rule adds walking. The clubhouse has The View restaurant, a grass driving range, a short-game area and a PGA academy, and Where2Golf rates the practice facilities as excellent, so arrive early enough to warm up properly before a long round.
The club is at 108/18 Moo 6, Na Jomtien, Sattahip. Estimates of the drive vary: one Pattaya guide measures 23.3 kilometres and about 25 minutes from central Pattaya, Where2Golf says 30 minutes and Golfasian 40 from Pattaya Beach. U-Tapao (UTP), further south, is the nearest airport. From Suvarnabhumi (BKK), allow about an hour and a half by Highway 7.

Jomtien and Na Jomtien are the closest bases, with beach hotels on the road out to the course. Bang Saray, a small fishing town further south on the coast, is a calmer option. Central Pattaya works if you prefer nightlife to a short transfer.
Phoenix Gold is a few kilometres away, and the four Siam Country Club courses are to the north, off the road that runs towards Khao Chi Chan. Next to the course, the Khao Chi Chan Buddha is open to visitors, and the Silverlake vineyard and Nong Nooch Tropical Garden are nearby.
November to February gives the clearest views of the Buddha and the most comfortable heat. March to May is the hottest stretch, and the long holes feel longer, so book early. Showers are frequent from May to October, and the cart-path rule applies all year.
