Is Thailand Good for Golf?

What makes Thailand a great golf destination

• Year-round play: a tropical climate means warm conditions in every season, with the cool season from November to February the most comfortable for visitors.

• Recognized courses: from Lotus Valley to Royal Golf & Country Club, the partner facilities Black Hat Golf works with are championship-grade.

• Value and hospitality: caddies, resorts and service standards make a golf day easy to arrange at most budget levels.

• Coaching depth: Bangkok is home to experienced PGA professionals — and to a school built around improvement, not just tee times.

From golf trip to improvement trip

The difference between a golf trip and a vacation golf school is the intent. Our 2-day minimum programs pair morning coaching with afternoon play at recognized courses, so the time you spend in Thailand also lowers your scores. The school is led by Tony Meechai — a PGA of America member, New Mexico State University PGA Golf Management graduate, founder of the PGA of Asia and a national TV coach with more than 50,000 students mentored.

A quick note on numbers

Thailand is golf-crazy by most standards: it hosts some of Asia’s oldest clubs, a thriving junior scene, and a professional series that attracts players from across the region. During peak season, Bangkok-area clubs routinely host visiting golfers from Japan, Korea, Singapore and Europe. Rather than quoting course counts that change every year, we link you to our facilities — the seven recognized venues we actually play and teach at.
