Bangkok is a world-class golf destination. Black Hat Golf works with recognized courses including Lotus Valley, Thana City, Pattana, Phothalai, Riverdale, The Vintage Club, and Royal Golf & Country Club — each with its own character, spread across the city and its northern corridor.

Courses we recognize & play

Our facilities page lists the seven recognized partner courses Black Hat Golf works with across Thailand. They include championship layouts, resort courses, and academy-friendly grounds — each selected for the experience quality our vacation schools and training programs require.

Lotus Valley and Thana City — established championship layouts near Bangkok.
Pattana and Phothalai — eco-resort style venues with dedicated academy space.
Riverdale, The Vintage Club, and Royal Golf & Country Club — traditional, well-keept layouts.

Which courses you play depends on your program and dates — itineraries are tailored by our team around your level, schedule, and preferences.

Why Bangkok works for a golf trip

Thailand has a tropical climate, which means year-round play with warm conditions, and Bangkok's world-class courses are combined with the city's hospitality, food, and resorts. It is why golfers from around the world choose Thailand for golf vacations — and why we built the 2-day Vacation Golf School around a short, immersive experience you can fold into any holiday.

Play better while you play more

A golf trip is also a chance to improve. Our vacation schools pair morning range coaching with afternoon on-course play at these facilities, so the lessons transfer directly to the course — guided by a teaching team led by PGA professional Tony Meechai.
