Black Mountain Golf Club
Three tour-tested nines in a valley of granite hills behind Hua Hin.
Greg Norman’s 1993 layout by Suvarnabhumi, with island greens and a published rate card.

Thana City Country Club opened in 1993 at kilometre 14 of the Bang Na–Trat highway, minutes from what is now Suvarnabhumi Airport. Golfasian describes it as the only Greg Norman course in Thailand, and it has history to match: two Thailand Opens and an Ernie Els win in 1996. It also does something many Bangkok clubs do not, which is publish its visitor rates. With a hotel on site and a weekday green fee of ฿3,600, it suits a stopover golfer who wants a known price and a short transfer.
Book through the club’s LINE account (@thanacity), by phone on 02-172-2300 or by email to rsvngolf@thanacitycountryclub.com. Golfasian and other Bangkok operators also arrange times, and rounds are sold as prepaid packages on Klook. The club publishes visitor weekend rates for two windows only, 6.00am to 8.16am and 10.56am to 1.04pm, so plan weekend golf around those slots. Golfasian notes groups of up to five on weekdays and four at weekends. The course is managed by Absolute Golf Services, and the club sets a pace-of-play target of 4 hours 26 minutes.
Official visitor weekday green fee; caddie ฿450 and cart ฿850 are extra; weekend ฿4,600 for early tee times or ฿4,100 late morning.

The course is flat, as everything is on this side of Bangkok, and it relies on water and sand rather than elevation. Natural streams and lakes run through it. Golfasian lists island greens at the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 12th, and the club’s own hole notes describe a small, bunkered island green at the 18th. Bunkers are plentiful, many with high lips around the greens, and the semi-rough is wiry. The par-three 16th can play about 240 yards, and the 18th, a par four of more than 440 yards with water down the right and around the green, is a hole where Golfasian suggests a bogey is no disgrace. A renovation between 2012 and 2018 lengthened it to 7,008 yards for tournament use, and the club says it has some of the best drainage in Bangkok. It hosted the Thailand Open in 1993 and 2011.
A weekday round with caddie and cart comes to ฿4,900 before the tip, which is good value this close to the city. The club runs seasonal deals such as twilight and Monday rates, so ask what is current when you book. Refreshment kiosks stand at the 4th, 7th, 14th and 16th holes and by the starter. The club also has restaurants, a pool, sports courts, a fitness centre and a driving range, so non-golfers have something to do.
The club is at 100/1 Bang Na–Trat frontage road, Bang Chalong, Bang Phli. It sits at kilometre 14 of the highway. Suvarnabhumi Airport is a few minutes away, and the club puts downtown Bangkok at about 25 minutes, though rush-hour traffic on the Bang Na–Trat can double that.

The Eastin Thana City Golf Resort Bangkok is on site, so you can walk from your room to the first tee, and it works well for a night either side of a long-haul flight. Hotels along Bang Na and around the airport are the next closest. For a longer city stay, Sukhumvit is about half an hour away by the expressway.
Muang Kaew and Siam Country Club Bangkok are both on the same Bang Na–Trat corridor, which makes a three-course airport-side trip with almost no driving between rounds. Royal Bang Pa-In, near Ayutthaya, is a longer drive north if you want a contrast. Off the course, the old wooden canal-side market at Bang Phli is close by.
The cool, dry season from November to February is the most comfortable. March to May is hot, and early tee times help. In the rains, roughly June to October, storms usually arrive in the afternoon, and the club’s claim of some of the best drainage in Bangkok is worth bearing in mind.

Yes. Greg Norman designed the course, which opened in 1993, and Golfasian describes it as the only Norman course in Thailand. It hosted the Thailand Open that year and again in 2011, and Ernie Els won the final round of the 1996 Johnnie Walker Super Tour here.
