The Beauty of Black Mountain

Already recognised as one of Asia's premier courses, Black Mountain in Hua Hin provides a lot more than just first-class golf.

The seventh hole is one of the hardest par 4s on the course

The new international school at Black Mountain is also an interesting addition to facilities available. With lessons based on the UK curriculum, it will initially cater for children from age 2+ to 11 and will draw children from multicultural backgrounds across the area.

The list of professional golfers who have made their home at Black Mountain, including Johan Edfors, Rikard Karlberg and Thongchai Jaidee is testament to Black Mountain’s sound ethics, philosophy and appeal. Also recently, Black Mountain’s quality of facilities and property portfolio has earned the club the status of “European Tour Destination”, taking position amongst 10 of the most elite courses on the European Tour”.

But Black Mountain is not only about golf. It is a truly a family-friendly destination resort with something for everybody. They also have the village-style Resort Villas accommodation, the Water Park and the Wake Park. Check into one of the private pool villas and enjoy the luxury and tranquillity of the stunning surroundings.
