Golf in Hua Hin

Hua Hin has for sometime now been seen as one of Thailand’s top golfing destinations. There are six excellent courses within 25 minutes drive of the town. All are 18 hole courses with a par of 72. 

All the courses have buggies, caddies, golf clubs and shoes available for rent. Green fees vary but it is cheaper to play during the week as rates are increased at weekends when the courses are busier.
