Black Mountain is a new 18-hole golf course located on the other side of the hills to the west of Palm Hills Golf Resort and just 10km from central Hua Hin. Black Mountain Golf Course opened in April 2007.

The course is always in superb condition with fast greens. The layout was improved during 2008 and some of the greens flattened a little. Pas 3s are of a high standard and some of the par 4s will be reachable from the tee if you're a long hitter and willing to "have a go".
A computer controlled irrigation system, which is connected to a weather station, has been installed, to allow the fairways to be watered and with just the right amount of water. This will produce fairways that are healthy and firm, rather that having dry and wet areas. No expense has been spared in the efforts to maintain the golf course to the very highest standards - even as far as having an underlay in the bunkers to hold the sand in place during heavy rainstorms.
The project leader is Gavan Wilson. He is in charge of building and maintaining the golf course. Gavan has worked in Thailand for 15 years and is one of the most highly respected golf course superintendants in Thailand.
The goal of Black Mountain golf is to ultimately be the best golf course in Asia. The intention is to hold many professional tournaments and try to attract some of the best golfers in the world. The golf course will be capable of providing a test for the top professionals but also be playable for the average golfers. The course architect, Phil Ryan, has made very clever use of the natural beauty of the site and the natural terrain. Features of the course are the rock faces set in to the mountains and the natural creeks that run through the course. All the large rocks, found on site, have been used in the construction and as features on the golf course. Every consideration has been taken to make the course as visually stunning as possible. The location of the clubhouse was chosen to give a panoramic view over the whole course as well as positioning the 1st and 10th tees and 9th and 18th greens directly in front of the clubhouse.

Facilities include a driving range and practise area, restaurants, pro shops and of course golf course.

In keeping with the course's philosophy, The Black Mountain Masters was held again here in December 2010 as the Asian Tour's final tournament and The 5th Royal Trophy between Europe and Asia was hosted for the first time in Hua Hin at Black Mountain during January 2011 .
The latest course to open is Sea Pines which was finished in September 2010. Owned by the Royal Thai Army, the course has been excellently designed with plenty of water hazards and bunkers to negotiate. The final three holes provide Hua Hin with its first "links" setting as they are situated right on the beach. Facilities are practically non-existent at the time of writing (January 2011), but a new clubhouse will shortly be completed. Green fees are expected to rise then (probably in February/March 2011) and we will bring you more concrete details and prices once they have been finalised.
