Conveniently located between Hua Hin and Cha-am, near Hua Hin Airport, Palm Hills Golf Club was the region’s first international-standard golf course and has been a popular golfing destination since opening in 1992. Set on gently rolling terrain at the foothills overlooking the coast, the course offers a distinctive links-style feel rarely found in Thailand.

Designed by Max Wexler, the layout features wide Bermuda fairways lined with palm trees, colourful frangipani blooms, and bougainvillea, creating a scenic and relaxing environment. While considered one of the more forgiving courses in Hua Hin, strategically placed bunkers, water hazards, and exceptionally fast TifEagle greens ensure that scoring well still requires careful shot-making and a confident putting touch.

The back nine climbs into higher ground, rewarding golfers with panoramic views of Hua Hin and the Gulf of Thailand. Standout holes include the challenging par-3 11th, which plays uphill into the prevailing sea breeze, and the strategic dogleg par-4 14th, where precise club selection from the tee is key to setting up a birdie opportunity.

Palm Hills is known for its consistently good course conditions and attractive landscaping, with flowering frangipani trees adding colour and fragrance throughout the year. Facilities include practice areas, locker rooms, and a clubhouse restaurant serving reasonably priced Thai and international dishes. Combining accessibility, scenic views, and enjoyable playability, Palm Hills Golf Club remains a favourite among golfers visiting Hua Hin.
