Hua Hin & Cha-am golf courses: tee times & green fees 2027
Five courses carry most golf weeks on this stretch of the Gulf coast, and they split neatly by the town line. Inside Hua Hin, Royal Hua Hin starts beside the railway station and dates from 1924, while Black Mountain, with 27 Phil Ryan holes and eight Asian Tour events behind it, sits in a granite valley west of town. Pineapple Valley, which was called Banyan until March 2024, climbs a former plantation at Thap Tai with views out to sea. North of the airport, in Cha-am district and Phetchaburi province, Palm Hills dates from 1992 and Springfield Royal offers 27 Jack Nicklaus holes and a hotel by the clubhouse. Every round comes with a caddie, but only two clubs print a baht rate, so this page sets out what each one costs and how to get a tee time.

Which Hua Hin & Cha-am course should you book?
Black Mountain Golf Club
Black Mountain, a former Royal Trophy venue where water comes into play on 12 holes. Its single published rate of ฿3,500 applies every day, and the live tee sheet on its own site lets you book before you fly.
Green fees & bookingRoyal Hua Hin Golf Course
Royal Hua Hin, the course King Rama VI opened in 1924. It has no water at all, just trees and granite outcrops, and you can step off the Bangkok train almost onto the first tee.
Green fees & bookingSpringfield Royal Country Club
Springfield Royal, where the 94-room Springfield Village sits next to the clubhouse and three Nicklaus nines finish at an island green. Check which two nines are in use on your day, because the C loop is the hardest of the three.
Green fees & bookingWhat a round really costs.
- Green fee+
- Caddie+
- Cart+
- Cash tip
Think in four parts: green fee, caddie, cart and a cash tip. Black Mountain lists ฿3,500 for every day of the week, so with caddie and cart a round reaches about ฿4,600 before the tip, which the club puts at ฿400 or more. Pineapple Valley charges ฿4,500 from November 2026 to March 2027, falling to ฿2,500 after 14:00. Its caddie costs ฿400 and it suggests tipping at least ฿500. Springfield Royal keeps its rates offline, but Thai Golf Booking showed ฿3,000 in November 2026. Greenfee365 had Royal Hua Hin from US$72.90 with a caddie. Palm Hills quotes by email, so get the caddie and cart shown on separate lines.
Getting around.
Almost everyone lands at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Don Mueang (DMK), because Hua Hin’s own airport (HHQ) sees few scheduled flights. A car transfer down Phetkasem Road takes two and a half to three hours, and golf bags fit far more easily than on a bus. Coming from Bangkok, you reach Cha-am first, so Springfield Royal and Palm Hills are slightly closer. Golfers who travel light can take the train, which pulls in beside Royal Hua Hin. Locally, hotels and golf operators run the transfers. Black Mountain is about 25 to 30 minutes from central Hua Hin, and Palm Hills about 15 from Springfield.
When to play.
November to April is the dry window and the time to come. Late November to February has the mildest mornings, and Pineapple Valley charges its peak rate from November to March. From March to May the thermometer often passes 35°C, so take the first tee time, especially at Palm Hills, where the back nine climbs. The wettest stretch runs from September into November, peaking in October, though Hua Hin stays drier than Phuket. Low season brings bargains: Pineapple Valley charged ฿2,100 in August and September 2025. Royal Hua Hin closes for tournaments, such as three days in March 2026.
Questions golfers ask.
Are caddies compulsory on Hua Hin golf courses?
Yes. All five clubs here expect a caddie for every player. Fees run from about ฿350 at Black Mountain, Springfield Royal and Palm Hills to ฿400 at Pineapple Valley, and Royal Hua Hin’s quoted rates usually include one. At Black Mountain and Pineapple Valley the caddie drives, so each player takes a cart. Tip in cash after the 18th.
Which Hua Hin golf course is cheapest?
On published figures, Springfield Royal at around ฿3,000 through Thai Golf Booking and Royal Hua Hin at US$72.90 with a caddie through Greenfee365 are the lowest morning rounds. Palm Hills may be cheaper still: a July 2026 estimate from Thai Holiday Guide put it at ฿1,800 to ฿2,500, but the club confirms prices only on request.
Can I book Hua Hin golf online?
At four of the five. Black Mountain’s own tee sheet runs on Golfscape, which also lists Pineapple Valley and Springfield Royal, while Greenfee365 carries Royal Hua Hin. Pineapple Valley wants at least 24 hours’ notice. Palm Hills has no booking engine, so email the club or book through Golfasian or Klook.
Is Pineapple Valley the same course as Banyan?
Yes. Banyan Golf Club changed its name to Pineapple Valley on 1 March 2024, keeping the 2009 Pirapon Namatra layout and its Thap Tai address. Older itineraries and maps may show Banyan, so quote the Thap Tai address to your driver.
Should I stay in Hua Hin or Cha-am for golf?
Hua Hin puts Royal Hua Hin, Black Mountain and Pineapple Valley within half an hour and has the night markets and restaurants. Cha-am is quieter and closer to Palm Hills and Springfield Royal, which has its own hotel. Black Mountain also rents pool villas from ฿3,995 a night if you would rather sleep beside the first tee.
