Firstly - just some congratulations to those involved, this massive project was completed in about 18 months - anyone who saw it happening will appreciate the enormity of the task. It’s great for Hua Hin that an extremely successful business person had the foresight to carry it out here in Hua Hin.
The course itself is in beautiful condition - greens and fairways are top class - and the rough is savage! The course lacks a bit of definition - purely because the trees that line the holes are young and need to mature, in a few years it will be stunning. The par 3s are particularly good, the only criticism is that the 18th is (in my opinion) not a very good finishing hole - I don’t know what could be possible to give it some more character.
The course, again in my opinion, plays much better from either the blue or the gold tees – from the front tees you can’t really get a good picture of how the hole shapes up – really it’s just a prettier course from a little further back.
The clubhouse is a great facility, beautiful locker rooms, showers etc, great pro shop which is actually not expensive at all, good staff and the food is great – they have an extensive menu (in 5 languages) the kitchen is run by a Swedish guy and he is doing a top job, its honestly worth going just for a meal!
Anyone who hasn’t tried the course should do so as the green fee will go up in a few months – it will be expensive then.
Big thumbs up from me!
, but can anyone give me some up to date news on local course conditions and prices?
