Golf

There are now seven world-class golf courses within easy reach of Hua Hin. It's become a major attraction for the area. So important is it that most courses include free pick-up from area hotels in their green fees. And if they don't there's a good chance that your hotel will provide a similar service.

Royal Hua Hin Golf Course, Damnoenkasem Road near the Hua Hin Railway Station, tel. 03251 2475. We start with this one since it was the first championship golf course in Thailand. (The Gymkhana Club in Chiang Mai was founded earlier but what they have hardly qualifies as championship.) The course - 18 holes, 6,678 yards, par 72 - was designed by a Mr. O.A. Robins, a Scottish railway engineer, and opened in 1924. Be warned there are lots of trees, which attract many a ball, and the heavy grass fairways keep the ball from running on. Because of its location and historic interest this is very popular course so be sure and call for a tee time. Play starts at 6am when it is relatively cool. Green fees for visitors: 1,200 Baht.
