| Thailand, and especially Hua Hin, are not well known around
the world for their golf courses though they should be. There is great golf
to be played here, in addition to the many activities available to the
non-golfers in the family. Courses are well maintained and service is
excellent.
Green fees at most courses are about $25 on weekdays and $50 on weekends.
Caddies are required at most courses and are about $6 with an additional
$4-8 tip, depending on their experience and help during your 18 holes. At
those courses where available, electric carts are about $25 which usually
includes a caddy. Caddies in Thailand are usually female and often quite
adept at reading greens and determining yardage. They are not hired for
their English ability however so speak slowly and listen attentively and
you'll both do fine. Clubs are often available for about $15 and shoes an
additional $2. (The recent devaluation of the Baht is not reflected in these
prices so, in dollar terms, prices are now much better than written here.
Though there are rumours that prices may increase a bit in the near future,
your golfing dollar will continue to go a long way in Hua Hin.) |
