THAILAND - Black Mountain

Black Mountain Golf Course in Hua Hin

Peaceful tranquil surroundings, with valley meeting mountain range create the backdrop for the Black Mountain golf course. It is a course ready to please the experienced as well as the average golfer.

The course is located just 10 kilometers from the Royal seaside resort of Hua Hin in Thailand, which is fast becoming the choice retirement area of Thailand for Thais and expatriates alike.

This area is home to many wonderful five star hotels and six golf courses. Black Mountain will be the 7th course in the area and due to its beauty and quality, it will surely become one of the most famous.

The Course. The Black Mountain golf course is located in a valley within touching distance of the "Black Mountains", which are so named because of the large rocks set into the mountains. These settings provide a beautiful backdrop to many of the holes.

The aim of the designer was to create a golf course that looks as natural as possible and maintains many of the features of the site.

The most important features are the natural creeks that run throughout the course and the natural rocks that have been used as design features on many of the holes.

As many of the original trees as possible have been kept and many new trees have been planted to frame the holes.

The clubhouse. No expense has been spared to make the golf course as good as possible and the same is true of the clubhouse.

The clubhouse gives a panoramic view of the whole golf course. Facilities of the clubhouse include fine dining in the restaurant, a well stocked golf shop and high-standard locker rooms.

Black Mountain intends to offer service and dining to a standard that is normally only found in the finest hotels.
