Thailand complete Golfing information source: golf courses, hole description and playing tips

Hua Hin continues to be an established golfers’ paradise with no fewer than 22 courses in the near vicinity.

The recent televised coverage of the Black Mountain Golf Club Asian Masters Tournament created a more than welcome increase in interest from those wishing to rent, purchase or even retire to a home in the lovely beach town of Hua Hin.

It has to be said that the course looked in fantastic shape – it’s hard to believe that the opening was less than two years ago. This course has astounded onlookers with its quality and speed of construction. In only 18 months it was conceived, planned and constructed and has been receiving rave reviews ever since!

Although during the last six months the number of local house rentals and sales has seen a decrease, the area continues to bring a steadily increasing number of holiday makers, golf enthusiasts and tourers every year. Winkworth Hua Hin & Hua Hin Property Care have reported that they’ve been kept busy with enquiries for high quality properties both in and around the town.
