Kanchanaburi - Hua Hin (2-Destination) Golf Package

Dragon Hills Golf Club is an 18-hole layout spread over 2,400 acres of lush natural mountainside jungle. Jim Enge, an American who worked with Nicklaus design, was responsible for producing this excellent layout.

Local golf looking to get away from Bangkok mostly visit this track. The course setting is in the middle of forested jungle, valleys, and hills. Dragon Hills offers a combination of undulating fairways and greens, lateral water hazards, carries over water, doglegs, and strategically located sand traps. The scenic background makes for a pleasurable round of golf.

The back nine holes are particularly impressive, as they play through environmentally preserved parklands. The signature holes are 10, 11, and 12. Hole-12 plays to an island green, downhill about 170 yards. Unusually, there are three par 3’s, three par 4’s, and three par 5’s on this back nine, making it a real challenge with no easy holes. The par 4's and par 5's play long, with well-placed hazards and sloping back to front greens.

A small rustic clubhouse and on-site lodge provide ample, but not fancy, facilities and accommodations. In any case, most golfers come here for the scenery in western Thailand and depart after their round.

Grand Prix Golf Club is a well-conditioned golf course in Thailand’s Kanchanaburi Province that will take your breath away. The golf course automobile tie-in is evident by cars and banners perched over the course, which credit their auto company sponsors.

Blue Sapphire Golf & Resort is a lovely 36-hole track in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. It takes around 30 minutes to reach the course from Kanchanaburi town. The layout splits into the 18-hole Canyon Course (Course A-B) and 18-hole Ocean Course (Course C-D).

Opened in 1994, Royal Ratchaburi is one of the most spectacular Kanchanaburi golf courses. The hilly terrain and excellent views of Burmese mountain ranges make for aesthetically pleasing yet challenging golf.

Greens are some of the best well-kept in the Kanchanaburi area. Royal Ratchaburi fairways follow the contours of the hills and play for the most part up and down.

The front nine has mostly wider fairways than the back nine, which is considered more challenging. Some excellent but short par-3 holes require precise shots over deep canyons.

The clubhouse, locker rooms, restaurant, and practice facilities are basic, but that is not what the golfers come to Ratchaburi for anyway. Locals consider this a hidden gem of a course and one of the best in the River Kwai area. Royal Ratchaburi is an excellent course for those traveling between Kanchanaburi and Hua Hin.

Local tip: Troops of monkeys can be found in several holes, including the opener, so golfers should beware of any “missing” well-stuck balls.

The traditional Jack Nicklaus designed Springfield Royal Country Club located off the Hua Hin bypass road is a top Hua Hin golf course and an excellent cost-effective alternative to Pineapple Valley and Black Mountain.

Pineapple Valley Golf Club Hua Hin delivers one of Asia’s most exceptional golfing experiences. Designed by Thailand’s premier golf course architect, Pirapon Namatra, the course was carefully crafted to follow the natural contours of the land, formerly used for pineapple farming. Since opening in 2009, Pineapple Valley has earned international recognition, including being awarded multiple times in recent years “The Best Golf Club Experience in Asia Pacific,” ranked among the “Top 1,000 Courses in the World” by Rolex, and voted Thailand’s Best Golf Club in 2023 by more than 15,000 international golfers.

Black Mountain was transformed from lush jungle and pineapple plantations and located around 25 minutes west of Hua Hin. Set in a valley surrounded by huge black granite rock covered mountains, the Hua Hin golf course was the site for Asian PGA tour events in 2009 and 2010 and the Europe versus Asia match play Royal Trophy in 2011. In 2012 and each year since Black Mountain was selected as one of the 100 best golf courses outside the USA by Golf Digest magazine.
