If you have ever played golf in Asia, you will almost certainly have heard about Thailand’s stunning Black Mountain Golf Club, tucked away in the foothills on the outskirts of the royal town of Hua Hin. Black Mountain, the brainchild of Swedish entrepreneur Stig Notlov, is a world-renowned multi-award winning destination resort, which has hosted many high profile international golf tournaments, including Asian Tour and European Tour events. Anybody is welcome to come and play the golf course, and all of Black Mountain’s recreational facilities are available to everyone, with the newly expanded practice and training facilities, suitable for all ages, and used by the Black Mountain International School.
THE BLACK MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY
Having been voted “Best Course in Thailand and Asia Pacific” by Asian Golf Magazine, and ranked No. 59 in Golf Digest’s World Top 100, interest is growing in Black Mountain as both a vacation destination and a place to build a second home from home. “Since opening in April 2007, Black Mountain’s philosophy has not changed. We strive to be the best golf course in Asia Pacific and maintain ranking amongst the best courses in the world”, said Black Mountain Managing Director Harald Elisson.“At the same time, on a personal level, we gain a lot of satisfaction looking after our members and guests, always trying to deliver the ultimate and most enjoyable golfing and lifestyle experience”. Harald added, “Many people are choosing to take up residence here at Black Mountain, where they enjoy the unique concept on offer”. Namely to live on the best golf course in Asia and be part of an eclectic and exclusive community of like-minded people. People who appreciate the luxury, the stunning surroundings and attention to detail that is Black Mountain’s signature. We feel that Black Mountain is more than a golf club, it is a place where people live and participate in a wide range of activities (as well as golf) and enjoy a great sense of belonging.”

Also, being the holiday destination of the Thai Royal Family for the past 90 years makes Hua Hin a very special place. With no traditional rainy season to speak of, Hua Hin has perfect year-round golfing weather, plus a collection of great courses that appeal to golfers of all levels as well as families. With these perfect ingredients for a memorable golf holiday, it’s no surprise that Hua Hin was recently named “Golf Destination of the Year” in Asia/Australasia. After their first visit and experience of Hua Hin, many people keep returning for the golf, beaches, sightseeing and its many and varied activities. The Thai architecture, stunning coastline, local vineyards, cultural monuments and temples make up just a few of the local attractions waiting to be explored.
