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.

This is right up there with the best courses I've played. A wonderful layout, nice mix of holes and a brilliant bar for a drink afterwards.

Where are the highlights?

Reviewed by ; on
When playing this course two times before I was very satisfied. I don't exactly know, what the problem this time was. It was very hot, and there is nearly no shadow on this course. Trees are not big or high and if you have to wait, and this time it was a lot of waiting time, take an umbrella with you. The fairways are perfect, mostly very wide. I miss some attractions, there are few obstacles, few water, just some bunkers. Because of a surgery, I could just could play with a 6-wood the whole course. from the white tee 6286m, it was nice, but nothing special. Nice caddy. The price is too high. The highest greenfee of all courses in Hua Hin, cart, caddy, tips, taxi, the small beer at the 19. hole seem rather expensive for charging 120 Baht, a small one....! Okay, for a short Hua Hin trip a "must play", for a longer stay, I will play this course less often.

Peaceful course, very challenging

Reviewed by ; on
Beautiful layout with great views and mountain views. The course is well maintained, although the sand in the bunkers is too hard, most likely due to the rain.
