Black Mountain Golf Club

Black Mountain Golf Club is about ten kilometres west of Hua Hin. The club was founded by the Swedish businessman Stig Notlöv in 2005. The original 18 holes opened on 20 April 2007. A further nine holes, the West course, were added in 2016. The club now has 27 holes. Each of the three nines is listed as par 36.

The club has hosted professional events, including the Black Mountain Masters on the Asian Tour (Johan Edfors won in 2009, Tetsuji Hiratsuka in 2010), the True Thailand Classic, which was co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and the European Tour (Andrew Dodt in 2015, Scott Hend in 2016), and later Asian Tour events including the International Series Thailand (Sihwan Kim in 2022, Wade Ormsby in 2023) and the Black Mountain Championship (M. J. Maguire in 2024). The Royal Trophy, an unofficial Europe-versus-Asia match, was also held there in 2011.

In 2012, Black Mountain became the first course in Thailand to appear on Golf Digest's list of the 100 best courses outside the United States. That is a listing in one year of one magazine's ranking, not a permanent title.

This file does not quote a yardage or a green fee, because those figures are not fixed in the sources used here and they change. Ask the club for the current card and for how the 27 holes are being combined on the day you play.
