About this 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.

Getting there

The journey to Sea Pines Army Golf Course begins at Hua Hin Railway Station or via the coastal highway from Bangkok, a leisurely two-to-three-hour drive southwest through Thailand's central plains that gradually yields to the quieter rhythms of the Gulf of Thailand shoreline. For those arriving by air, Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) in Bangkok serves as the primary international gateway, though the smaller Hua Hin Airport accommodates regional flights and private aviation, positioning you considerably closer to the course. The final passage into Prachuap Khiri Khan province unfolds along Thailand's western coast, where the landscape softens into coconut groves and salt marshes before arriving at this understated military-affiliated course, a sanctuary of manicured fairways set against the gentle backdrop of the Andaman Sea. Sea Pines Army Golf Course remains refreshingly removed from the bustle of Thailand's more celebrated resort destinations, accessible yet secluded - a destination that rewards the traveler patient enough to venture beyond the capital's orbit.
