Nestled along the coastline, Sea Pines Golf Course is the only beachfront golf course in Hua Hin, offering stunning ocean views and challenging play. Divided by a railway track, the course provides a mix of inland and coastal holes, with the final three holes directly beside the beach, making for a truly unforgettable finish.
Though the terrain is relatively flat, strategic water hazards feature on nearly every hole, adding complexity to the layout. Wind plays a crucial role, particularly on the coastal back nine, where club selection and shot precision become even more important.
The front nine begins gently but quickly intensifies, with the 3rd hole, a par-5, requiring a water carry off the tee and hazards guarding the left side. The 9th hole, shaped like a banana, tempts long hitters with a bold approach over water, while safer plays must carefully avoid a bunker-lined fairway.
On the back nine, the 12th hole presents a dogleg par-5 with water on one side and fairway bunkers demanding precision. The signature finishing holes (16-18) by the beach provide the ultimate challenge. The 16th, a par-5, forces players to navigate water on the right before a tough approach to a sloped green. The par-3 17th, though short, is fully guarded by bunkers, making club selection tricky in windy conditions. Finally, the par-4 18th features a long carry over a canal, with shorter hitters opting to lay up before approaching the green.
Post-round, golfers can relax at the clubhouse restaurant, which features a terrace overlooking the sea—the perfect spot to reflect on the round. As the course is managed by the Thai Army, the service may not be as polished as some other courses, but the unique setting makes up for it.
Advance booking is highly recommended, especially on weekends. Golf carts are available for rent at 600 THB per golfer, and the mandatory caddy fee must be paid at the pro shop, with a recommended tip of at least 400 THB. Proper golf attire is required, and roundtrip transportation can be arranged upon request.
For those seeking a challenging yet scenic round of golf with unparalleled ocean views, Sea Pines Golf Course is a must-play in Hua Hin.
