Set in a valley surrounded by black granite rock mountains, this jewel of a property is located just 25 minutes west of the town of Hua Hin, Thailand.
Black Mountain has been a regular Asian Tour venue for the past 15 years, having hosted several events since 2009, including the past two International Series Thailand tournaments.
The Phil Ryan-designed course has also welcomed The 2014 True Thailand Classic, the first DP World Tour event to be staged in The Kingdom, as it now has it’s sights set on the Asian Tour’s Black Mountain Championship taking place from 17-20 October 2024.
The 27 hole property, founded by Swedish entrepreneur Stig Notlöv in 2005, consists of three nine hole courses: East, North & West. The East Course is the original front nine. Offering a layout of spectacular golf holes, including two risk/reward par fives and a par four with an island green. The North Course is the original back nine, with a renowned par three second hole (originally the 11th) and holes with spectacular views and elevation changes.
While the West Course, opened in 2016, is cushioned into the canyon as you enter Black Mountain and complements the original holes. The West Course allows Black Mountain to serve a challenging golf experience to all golfers on a daily basis.
