Black Mountain Golf Club
Three tour-tested nines in a valley of granite hills behind Hua Hin.
Toby Cobb’s grass-faced bunkers on former rice paddies, 20 minutes south of the airport.

Siam Country Club Bangkok is the fifth course from the club best known for hosting the LPGA in Pattaya, and the first it has built near the capital. It sits in Bang Sao Thong, about 20 minutes south of Suvarnabhumi Airport, and it looks nothing like the lake-heavy courses around it. The designer, Toby Cobb, set out to build something different. The result is firm, open ground with grass-faced bunkers, only four holes where water comes into play, and a published rate card. For a first or last round of a Thailand trip, few courses are better placed.

Cobb worked for Coore & Crenshaw and Tom Doak’s Renaissance Golf Design before this, his first solo project. The site was rice paddy just above sea level, with marine clay about a metre down that he described as like soup, so cuts and fills were limited to about three feet. He calls the result a hybrid links. Golfasian lists it at 7,250 yards and par 72, and the club gives a course rating of 71.6 and a slope of 132. Fairways are zoysia and greens are ultradwarf Bermuda, turtle-backed and ranging from 425 to 1,000 square metres, according to Golfasian. Bunkers are grass-faced in the pot-bunker style, from small pots to larger complexes that frame many holes. The 18th is unusual: a par three of about 100 yards to a big green in front of the clubhouse restaurant, guarded by a deep pot bunker on the left.
Budget for the full bill. A weekday round with the compulsory caddie and your own cart comes to ฿7,200 before the tip, which the club says generally starts at ฿500. Carts cannot be shared, so a four-ball pays for four. The 4,400-square-metre clubhouse has a 160-seat restaurant open from 6am to 7pm, with a Japanese-led menu according to Golfasian, which makes a departure-day lunch easy. With no range, arrive early enough to hit nets and putt.
The club’s address is 111 Moo 2 on the Bang Na–Trat frontage road in Bang Sao Thong, about 20 minutes south of Suvarnabhumi (BKK) according to Golf Course Architecture. The club puts downtown Bangkok at 30 to 45 minutes, traffic permitting. There is no rail link, so book a hotel car or taxi.

For an arrival or departure round, the hotels around Suvarnabhumi and along Bang Na are the shortest run to the first tee. If golf is part of a longer city stay, the Sukhumvit area gives you the expressway east and the skytrain for evenings out. Thana City’s Eastin hotel, a few kilometres north, is the nearest golf-resort option.
Muang Kaew and Thana City are both close by on the Bang Na–Trat corridor, so a two-day airport-side break is easy. Siam Country Club’s own four Pattaya courses, including the Old Course, are about 90 minutes further south-east. Off the course, Muang Boran (Ancient Siam), an open-air park of replica temples and palaces in Samut Prakan, is a good half-day.
November to February is the driest and least humid stretch. March to May is very hot, so take the earliest tee time. In the wet months, roughly June to October, expect afternoon storms, and carts are confined to the paths after recent rain.
Explore golf by monthThe club publishes a visitor green fee of ฿5,700 on weekdays and ฿6,700 at weekends and on public holidays. On top of that you pay ฿500 for the compulsory caddie and ฿1,000 for a single-rider cart, plus a tip. A weekday round therefore costs about ฿7,700 all in.
No. It is a separate course, opened in 2022, about 20 minutes south of Suvarnabhumi Airport. The Old Course, which hosts the Honda LPGA Thailand, and the club’s other three courses are in the hills behind Pattaya, about 90 minutes away.
No. Each golfer must have their own cart, and the club caddie drives it. Carts can go onto the fairways in normal conditions but must stay on the paths after recent rain.
