Swing into Paradise: Why Thailand is a Golfer’s Dream

1. Over 250 Golf Courses Nationwide

Thailand boasts more than 250 golf courses, many of which are championship-level, set amidst mountains, beaches, and jungles. Popular regions include Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Hua Hin, Phuket, and Pattaya.

2. Tropical All-Year Golfing

Thanks to Thailand's tropical climate, you can play golf year-round, though the cooler dry season (November to February) is ideal. Some courses even offer night golf under floodlights!

3. Royal Roots

Golf in Thailand has royal connections. The Royal Hua Hin Golf Course, opened in 1924, is the oldest course in the country and was originally built for the Thai royal family and visiting British officials.

4. Caddies are Mandatory (and Amazing!)

Thailand is one of the few places where caddies are compulsory—and often the highlight of the game. Most are women, trained professionals, known for their keen eye, local knowledge, and cheerful demeanor.

5. Thailand Hosts Major Golf Events

Thailand hosts Asian Tour and LPGA events, like the Honda LPGA Thailand. It has attracted stars like Tiger Woods, Brooke Henderson, and Ariya Jutanugarn, Thailand’s own major-winning pro golfer.

6. Affordable Luxury

Compared to many Western countries, Thailand offers luxury golfing experiences at a fraction of the cost—from green fees and equipment rental to 5-star accommodation and spa packages.

7. Designer Courses by the Greats

Many Thai courses are designed by legends such as Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, Nick Faldo, and Pete Dye, offering challenging layouts and stunning scenery.
