Pineapple Valley Golf Club (Former Banyan Golf Club)

Holes 18 | Par 72 | Length 6731 m / 7361 y | Type Parkland | Architect Pirapon Namatra

Hua Hin is fast becoming known as one of the top places for a golf holiday in Asia.  Located just a few hours away from Bangkok, this popular beach resort has become home to some of the best golf courses in the country.

One of which isPineapple Valley Golf Club.  Opened for play in 2008, Pineapple Valley Golf Club has established a very good reputation for golf in Thailand and was awarded Best New Course in Asia-Pacific by the readers of Asian Golf Monthly just a year after opening.

One glance at the course and it is easy to see why Pineapple Valley Golf Club is so highly regarded.  The 18-hole championship golf course was designed by Pirapon Namatra of Golf East, one of the great golf course designers Thailand.

While water does come into play, it is perhaps not as prominent at Pineapple Valley Golf Club as others throughout the country.  The views from the course are superb and the backdrop of mountains on one side is in contrast to the ocean views on the other side of the course. 

Despite not featuring the abundance of water found on some of the other golf courses in Hua Hin, water hazards are present on the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th holes.  This may seem like a lot but once you get beyond the 7th hole, water is not really a feature on the course.

That’s not to say Pineapple Valley Golf Club becomes an easy course after the 7th hole and there are many tricky holes to look out for on the back nine.  One of which is the short par-3, 15th hole.  This is the signature hole at Pineapple Valley Golf Club and the views to the left from the elevated tee box over the ocean is fantastic, with mountains and valleys off to the right.

The distance to the hole is short but you must know your distance well with each club as it can be deceiving.  The wind also plays a part on this hole and if it picks up when you are on the tee, it can lead to a very tricky shot.  The key is to try and focus on the shot but with the spectacular views surrounding the hole, even that can prove tough.

Each hole at presents a fresh challenge and the par-5, 12th hole presents a nice comparison to the 15th.  This hole plays to a massive 610 yards from the back tee and although the fairway is generous, there are several bunkers waiting to gobble up the ball. 

Pineapple Valley Golf Club has a choice of four tee boxes on each hole, so if the 12th sounds too daunting, you can play from one of the other tees and this makes the course suitable for everyone.

In addition to the fabulous golf course, Banyan Golf Club is home to a stylish club house.  It comes complete with locker rooms, showers, pro-shop and terrace restaurant, the latter of which offers tasty cuisine and lovely views of the golf course and mountains.

Pineapple Valley Golf Club (Former Banyan Golf Club)

Great round of golf at a beautiful course

Reviewed by ; on
I played here with 2 mates yesterday, and it was the first time any of us had played in Thailand, so nothing to compare Banyan too. I can honestly say, start to finish, it was a great day out, and we all agreed that the course was brilliant. We range from 18 - 22 handicaps, so we will not be selected for the Ryder Cup team any time soon. We played off the blues, and we all felt the course was challenging but not too hard, with some birdies, pars, and plenty of bogeys (this is a decent round for us). Apart from one, all the par 3’s were 180 - 200 yds so you need a solid knock. The caddies were great and offered really good advice, their knowledge of the course and their green reading was fantastic. When your Chang was empty, another one sat in your cup holder before you had time to blink. They joined in the usual banter. The greens are quick but not unplayable, bunkers are in great condition and there are plenty of trees to help keep your slice in play (course knowledge)… We hired clubs for 1200 thb which were Vokey SM7 wedges, Titleist AP1, TS1 drivers and woods, and Scotty Cameron putters. The putters were great, but we all said if we came again, we would bring our own putters. I highly recommend Golfsavers too. They had the best price, and communications were great. All in all, a great day out and if we can get it past the committee (the WAGS), we will playing another round of golf next week🤞

Always loved playing at this venue. Top class facilities

The only exception is that the air conditioning at the changing room is not working this time so it was a bit hot even after showering.. Course conditions were very good. Undulating fairways and true greens were a pleasure to play. Caddies were good.

Pristine condition and great service/hospitality

An excellent venue. Perhaps not the most eye-catching holes, but the condition was faultless, with a clubhouse with great panoramic views.
