PALM HILLS GOLF CLUB & RESIDENCE
🇹🇭 Cha-Am, Phetchaburi, TH
Designed by Max Wexler
Palm Hills Golf Club & Residence sits in Cha-Am, a coastal district of Phetchaburi Province approximately 160 kilometers southwest of Bangkok. The course was designed by Max Wexler, an American architect who worked extensively in Southeast Asia during the 1990s and early 2000s. The layout occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of Thailand's upper Gulf coast, where the landscape transitions from beach areas to agricultural lowlands.
The design reflects the constraints and opportunities of the site's topography. Water features play a significant role in the routing, both for strategic purposes and drainage management common to courses built on low-lying coastal plains. The fairways are lined with tropical vegetation including palms and other native species that provide definition and frame playing corridors. Bunkers are positioned to challenge approach shots and protect greens, following conventions typical of resort-style courses in the region.
Palm Hills functions as part of a residential development, a model common in Thai golf properties where real estate and golf operations are integrated. The course serves both resort guests and members, contributing to Cha-Am's identity as a golf destination along the Gulf of Thailand. The town itself is known as a quieter alternative to nearby Hua Hin, attracting golfers seeking access to multiple courses within a concentrated area. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities standard for properties of this type in Thailand's competitive golf market.
