The Majestic Creek Country Club is a challenging course that was once rated by a German golf magazine as a 5-star international golf course. While I would not go that far, the golf course nevertheless is one of the better ones in Hua Hin, read on!
Designed by Dr. Sukkitti Klangvisai, the same Thai golf course designer as who is responsible for Phuket’s Loch Palm and Bangkok’s Ratchakram golf clubs, Majestic Creek features rolling hilly terrain with tricky greens.
A 7,123 yard layout that provides a range of different, well designed challenges to the player. Low handicappers will especially appreciate the course design which features many challenging tee shots. There are significant carries over lakes and a maze of streams wind around the course. Almost all the holes have water hazards (small lakes or creeks) as well as several bunkers. For a good score, precise shots and good nerves are required. One of the holes is an astonishing 770 yards long, the longest par 5 in Thailand. Try hitting that one in two!
Majestic Creek Country Club is a favorite among locals and expatriates living in Hua Hin as the course conditions are probably the most consistent year round as compared to all other Hua Hin golf courses.
Being set in the mountains just west of Hua Hin, Majestic Creek has nice surrounding scenery. Valleys in the nearby mountains supply water to the maze of streams winding around the course, and the builders have been careful to preserve them as natural hazards. which makes for some tricky shots over water.
The Bermuda grass greens tend to be on the slow side. However, all the greens slope one way or another which makes for difficult side hill lies if one is not careful with their approach shots. The palm tree lined fairways are superb and an absolute pleasure to walk and play on.
The clubhouse at Majestic Creek offers a full range of rental equipment, luxurious locker rooms, a pro shop, and nice outdoor golfer’s caf้. Other facilities include two putting greens, a chipping area and a grass driving range. The Majestic Beach Resort is associated with the golf course and operates a free shuttle service for golfers between the course and the hotel. |
