Sea Pines Army Golf Course

Sea Pines Army Golf Course occupies a coastal setting in Hua Hin, a historic beach town on Thailand's Gulf of Thailand coastline in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. The course was designed by Major General Weerayudth Phetbuasak and serves as a military facility operated by the Royal Thai Army, part of a network of armed forces golf courses throughout Thailand. Hua Hin itself has long been associated with Thai royalty and golf, with the region's first course dating to the 1920s, and Sea Pines continues this tradition within a military context. The layout takes advantage of the area's relatively flat coastal terrain, typical of courses along this stretch of the Gulf. Pine trees feature throughout the property, providing definition and framing for holes while offering some relief from the tropical sun. The course incorporates water hazards and strategic bunkering that reflect both the natural drainage patterns of the coastal plain and deliberate design choices to create challenge for military members and authorized guests. As an army facility, Sea Pines primarily serves active and retired military personnel, though access policies may extend to certain civilian guests through military sponsorship. The club maintains the functional, straightforward character common to armed forces golf facilities, prioritizing playability and maintenance standards appropriate to its membership base. The Hua Hin location provides convenient access for military families stationed in the region and offers a recreational amenity within the broader network of Thai military golf courses.
