Top golf course designers behind Thailand’s best fairways – Golfasian

Thailand’s status as a leading golf destination is strengthened by the presence of courses designed by some of the world’s most respected golf course architects. With over 250 courses nationwide, Thailand offers a wide range of layouts that combine design excellence with scenic beauty and cultural appeal.

Courses by Jack Nicklaus, such as Laem Chabang and Chee Chan Golf Resort, deliver strategic play with memorable landscapes. Gil Hanse’s Ballyshear Golf Links near Bangkok adds retro character with a Lido Club-inspired layout. Ronald Garl’s Alpine Golf & Sports Club, which once welcomed Tiger Woods, and Nick Faldo’s Summit Windmill Golf Club, known for night golf, show the range of international influence.

In Hua Hin, Phil Ryan’s Black Mountain remains one of Asia’s top-ranked courses, while architects like Denis GriffithsSchmidt-Curley, and Dr. Sukitti Klangvisai contribute to Thailand’s rich mix of styles from championship-level challenges to resort-friendly designs.

Many of these designer courses are located in key travel hubs like Bangkok, Pattaya, Hua Hin, and Phuket, making it easy to combine premium golf with five-star resorts, local cuisine, and cultural experiences. This integration allows for high-quality packages that meet the expectations of experienced international golfers.

Thailand’s strong course portfolio, combined with its natural beauty, reliable infrastructure, and warm hospitality, offers an ideal foundation for developing memorable golf travel programs.
