Royal Hua Hin Golf Course

Holes 18 | Par 72 | Length 6077 m / 6646 y | Type Parkland | Architect O.A.Robins

One of the many great aspects of playing golf is the history surrounding the sport.  While many people know about famous courses such as the Old Course at St Andrews in Scotland, it often comes as a surprise to learn about the history of golf in other counties around the world.

Thailand is a great example and Royal Hua Hin Golf Course was established in 1924.  This makes it the oldest 18-hole international standard golf course in the country and it has a long history.

Situated next to the main train station in Hua Hin, visitors arriving from Bangkok or other areas of the country can see the golf course on arrival.  It is located just 5 minutes away from the centre of the town and can easily be reached from wherever in Hua Hin you decide to stay.

As you may already have guessed, Royal Hua Hin Golf Course has links to the railway.  The course was commissioned for British workers constructing the railway and the upper class Thai people who lived in the area.

The course was designed by A.O. Robins, a Scottish railroad engineer and having enjoyed a renovation in the 1980’s, it remains an international standard golf course today.  Royal Hua Hin Golf Course plays to just 6,678 yards, which is short by modern standards but several of the fairways are tight and lined by trees.

Many of the greens are elevated and make for small targets so accuracy plays a huge role in achieving a low score.  You will find bunkers on most holes although none of them are particularly challenging.  Most players will be able to escape them without any difficulty.  If you have played golf in Thailand previously, chances are you will have faced the challenge of water but that’s not the case at Royal Hua Hin.

There are no lakes or ponds on this golf course, so you do not have to worry about losing balls in the water.

The par-4, 13th hole is a favourite of many who visit Royal Hua Hin Golf Course and that’s mostly down to the presence of wildlife.  A group of macaque monkeys have taken a linking to the trees and vegetation around this hole.  Should your ball travel off target, there is a chance they may decide it belongs to them and you will not see it again.

The course is not the best conditioned you will find in Hua Hin but it makes for a lovely round of golf, with some good holes.  The history alone is enough to make a round of a golf at Royal Hua Hin worthwhile and the location makes it ideal for every Hua Hin golf itinerary.

The perfect golf course, if you are looking for a easy going day of golf. Rather dry fairways and good greens.

There are definitely more groomed golf-courses, but for us this was perfect - very nice caddies, not many people and easy going. We will be back!

Royal Hua Hin Golf Course

Well worth visiting

Reviewed by ; on
It's very clear that a lot of time and money have been spent on this course - whilst the tee boxes are 'well used', the fairways are challenging and the greens are in superb condition "like walking on a soft axminster carpet'. The oldest course in Thailand certainly deserves the accolade despite the 1st being wet and muddy in places. All in all, a great course located in the centre of the town, some narrow fairways but superb views and central for all amenities.

Royal Hua Hin Golf Course

Course in pretty bad condition

Reviewed by ; on
But the course was in pretty shoddy condition, many variations on fairways some very very bare, devoid of grass especially around the margins hard compacted earth, clearly very little regular watering. The greens were inconsistent, some spongy some hard, grass varying lengths & with bald patches! The tee boxes hard ground.

Royal Hua Hin Golf Course

The fairways have no grass; the bunkers have no definition; the course is generally scruffy.

Reviewed by ; on
The fairways have no grass; the bunkers have no definition; the course is generally scruffy. Three hours for the front nine on a golf course which, apart from the greens, can best be described as TERRIBLE. Giving us a discount of THB 600 in advance was the wrong thing to do - we should have been told to play at another course. There was no availability of ice with which to keep drinks etc cold. Is that so difficult? The snack/drinks kiosks (including the clubhouse) stock no chocolate bars!! Why? We will NEVER pay this course again. It’s well below average 😢
