Are the courses still playable, do they flood, do you just come off or carry on ?
Also, do you bother wearing waterproofs or are they to sweaty ?
Any other golf related info would be appreciated, thanks, roro.

I will be coming to HH in August and am wondering what the courses are like when the heavy rains come ?

If I could be the sun I'd shine in your life,
If I could be the rain I'd rain in your eyes and I'd wash away the emptiness you feel inside-PW.

If there is some sort of weather front moving thru the area then it might turn out that you will be unable to play for a couple days. The courses do drain well but not when u get dumped on for three days in a row.
Typically the monsoon brings clouds in the afternoons and you might get a real deluge around 4 pm for a brief period......do watch out for those bolts that come out of the sky as they hit your two iron a lot better than you do.......tee off early in the am and you should have no problems

Re: golf in the rainy season
August is not supposed to be a wet month. I think the courses will be playable every day - and in good condition. August is the Golf Festival as well. That means the green fee is just 800 baht per round and that includes more or less all courses close to HH (SF normaly 3500 so it is a bargain). If we get a lot of rain it is likely to "turn up" in October.roro wrote:I will be coming to HH in August and am wondering what the courses are like when the heavy rains come ?

Always find August is a good time to play in HH. Courses are all in good condition at the moment but you can be unlucky and catch a bad rainey day. Generally the best time to play is the mornings. Big bonus is that the courses are quiet so you can always get on and also cheap while the Golf Festival is on. Also cos of the cloud cover it seem to be cooler while playing.
I though you could get "local relief" if you're submerged on a green. And I'm not talking dirtySTEVE G wrote:Hi roro,
I’ve tried to finish of a round of golf in a full on tropical downpour, and I have to say that putting is a bit of a challenge when the ball is completely underwater. Like playing in the midday sun, it is definitely for mad dogs and Englishmen!
Great replies everyone, the juices are flowing waiting to get out on a course (or two).
New passports arrived today

Thanks again everyone, roro.

I am sure you are right about that Lomu, I am just a hacker and play the game without resort to such niceties as the rules. It certainly makes sense though, as in water the ball goes about two inches with a putter. What happens when the hole is underwater as well? Watching the Open does nothing to prepare you for these eventualities, especially when it’s played on the only desert within several thousand miles of Liverpool!
