Black Mountain Golf Club
Three tour-tested nines in a valley of granite hills behind Hua Hin.
A relaxed, inexpensive round on a big estate off Highway 331, east of Pattaya.

Pattaya Country Club is one of the cheaper ways to play an 18-hole course near Pattaya. It sits on a large estate off Highway 331 in Khao Mai Kaeo, inland from the city, and opened in 1993. It is not a tournament venue. It is a relaxed course on gently rolling ground, with a well-regarded Thai restaurant and a very large driving range. It suits a lighter day between bigger rounds, a group on a budget, or golfers who want an afternoon nine.
The club takes tee-time requests through a form on its website. Its rate page says the course will call you back within three days to confirm, so do not leave it until the night before. You can also phone 081 654 5654, 081 582 6073 or 086 323 9713, email marketing@pattayacountryclub.com, or call the clubhouse on 038 423 718. The course is open from 06:00 to 18:00. Nine-hole rates are published, which makes it one of the few Pattaya courses where a late-afternoon nine is easy to arrange. Golfasian lists up to five players per group on weekdays and four at weekends.
Weekday 18-hole green fee on the club’s rate page; caddie ฿400 and cart ฿600 are charged separately. A local agent lists ฿2,200.

Golfasian credits the original design to PGA (Thailand) Co. and lists 6,775 yards at par 72. The club says the 18 holes were later re-laid out by the Thai designer Lt Gen Weerayut Phedbeuasak, and the club gives its 18 holes more than 1,800 rai of land. The land is gently rolling, many greens are bunkered and undulating, and several holes offer two fairways to choose from. Holes are spread out, so there are long drives between some greens and tees, and out of bounds is in play on many of them. The club picks out the par-three 16th, played over a lake, and Golfasian notes that local golfers call the last three holes Amen Corner.
At the published rates, a weekday round with a caddie and cart comes to ฿3,500, and a weekend round about ฿4,000, before the tip. Nine holes with a caddie cost from ฿1,450. The rate page lists no weekend cart price, so confirm it when you book. Rental sets are cheap at ฿1,200. The clubhouse is small, but the restaurant has a good local reputation, and the club calls its driving range the largest in Thailand. The rate page looks dated, so ask for a written quote.
The course is off Highway 331 in Khao Mai Kaeo, Bang Lamung. Golfasian puts it about 25 minutes from Pattaya towards Rayong. The club says it is 120 kilometres from Bangkok. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the main arrival airport; U-Tapao (UTP) is closer to the south.
Nearby: 1. Siam Country Club Plantation (4 km) · 2. Siam Country Club Waterside (7 km) · 3. Siam Country Club Old Course (7 km) · 4. Siam Country Club Rolling Hills (8 km) · 5. Laem Chabang International Country Club (13 km) · 6. Burapha Golf & Resort (14 km)
The estate is also a housing development, Pattaya Country Club Home & Residence, rather than a golf hotel, so plan to stay in Pattaya or Jomtien. East Pattaya and the Highway 7 corridor are closer if you will drive out yourself. A hotel driver or golf transfer is the simplest arrangement.
Laem Chabang International and Burapha are north towards Si Racha, and the Siam Country Club courses are a short drive west. Mixing one or two days here with the more expensive Siam rounds keeps a week’s budget in check. On a rest day, the Sanctuary of Truth or a boat to Ko Lan takes you back to the coast.
November to February is the most pleasant time, with dry, cooler mornings. March and April are the hottest months. From May to October rain usually falls in the afternoon, which makes an early tee time or a twilight nine the safer choice.
