As one of Hua Hin’s first international-standard golf courses, Palm Hills Golf Club remains a popular choice among golfers. Despite its modest length, the course is known for its fast, challenging greens that demand precision and focus. The welcoming clubhouse adds to the experience, featuring a vibrant bar and an excellent restaurant.
While Hua Hin occasionally faces water scarcity issues, Palm Hills often feels the effects. However, under normal conditions, the course’s wide, flat fairways maintain their lush appeal. Strategically positioned water hazards add complexity, requiring thoughtful course management.
Although some describe the layout as links-style, the abundant tropical vegetation sets it apart. The undulating back nine not only adds variety to the play but also offers stunning views of the Gulf of Thailand.
The round starts gently with a downhill dogleg par 4, presenting an early challenge with a sizable bunker guarding the ideal “tiger line.” As you progress, the course reveals a diverse range of challenges—from daunting tee shots framed by water hazards to intricate approach shots protected by bunkers and more water features.
The back nine showcases some of Palm Hills’ most memorable holes. The long, uphill par 3 at the 11th hole is particularly demanding, with shifting wind conditions making club selection tricky. The 12th hole, a dogleg par 5, requires accuracy both off the tee and on the second shot. The 14th hole, a tough dogleg par 4, calls for strategic shot placement to avoid lurking water hazards and bunkers.
Despite the challenges, the par 3 15th offers a brief reprieve with its straightforward design. The par 5 16th presents a solid scoring opportunity for those who can keep their shots to the left side of the fairway and skillfully avoid trees that might block the approach to the green.
Palm Hills Golf Club combines natural beauty with thoughtfully designed challenges, making it a course that both novices and seasoned players will appreciate.
