Palm Hills Golf Resort and Country Club
Located between two of the most tourist-friendly locations of the area, Hua Hin and Cha Am, Palm Hills Golf Resort and Country Club are established in the lower foothills above the town, in close proximity to the airport.
In fact, Palm Hills opened up way back in 1992 as the first international standard golf course of Hua Hin, one that hosted the inaugural Thailand World Pro-Am tou
ament the very next year of its inception.
This course differs from others in the area in how it's laid out, exuding a Scottish 'links' feel. Its specialized Max Wexler layout going from east to west has two lakes at either end adding to its aesthetic as well as sporting aspects. The clubhouse, along with an interesting rocky outcrop that extends out from the adjacent mountain range, separates the two lakes.
This charming course gets its name due to hundreds of palm trees lining its outline, coupled with countless bougainvillea shrubs and brightly colored frangipani trees, all turning it into a stunning golfing and vacationing resort.
The fact of the matter is that the Palm Hills Golf Club has wonderful landscaping all around, and during specific times of the year, the whole course is engulfed in enchanting fragrance resulting from plentiful blooming frangipani trees.
It is further furnished with amenities like practice areas and locker rooms and a restaurant known to serve tasty food at reasonable prices.
Black Mountain Golf Club
Ranked among the top 100 golf courses in the whole world, Black Mountain Golf Club deserves every bit of the accolade it has been able to earn since its inception. Its striking beauty comes from the lush jungle and pineapple plantations it has been transformed from.
You need to take a 25-minute drive to access this top class golf course. Another aspect adding to its aesthetic value comes from black granite covered mountains overlooking the valley in which it stretches across.
There are many feathers in Black Mountain's hat, such as hosting the 2009 – 2010 Asian PGA tour events and Asia Vs Europe match held in 2011 as part of Royal Trophy. In 2012, Black Mountain was nominated by Golf Digest magazine among the top 100 golf courses of the world outside of the United States and ever since then, it has been able to hold up to the honor. In 2014, Black Mountain was also honored to host the first European tour event, the Thailand Classic, which followed suit in 2015 and 2016 as well.
The astounding beauty of this course also comes from the fact it has resorted to nature as much as possible, maintaining many natural elements in their originality, such as the small creeks running throughout it along with the rocks used as design elements on many holes. You can also found many original trees alongside countless new ones.
As far as golfing possibilities are conce
ed, Black Mountain not only proves to be a serious testing ground for top professionals but also has much for average golfers. For shorter hitters, there is no shortage of generous fairways, also becoming narrower for longer tee shots.
The clubhouse of the Black Mountain is also one of a kind, offering stunning 360 degrees' panoramic view of the whole golf course. Some of the major facilities being offered in the clubhouse include one of Hua Hin's most profound golf pro shops, wonderful practice areas, lavish dining restaurant, the onsite spa and luxurious locker rooms.
To surmise, Black Mountain will conveniently surpass your expectations as a superb golfing resort as well as a luxurious vacation resort, returning you the best of your investment in both cases.
