Located west of Bangkok in Nakhon Pathom, Nikanti doesn’t just offer another well-conditioned parkland course — it challenges the entire idea of how a round of golf should be structured and experienced.

Pineapple Valley Golf Club, formerly known as Banyan Golf Club, has long been regarded as one of Thailand’s most refined championship courses.

There are golf courses that impress, and then there are courses that set a national benchmark. Black Mountain Golf Club, located just outside Hua Hin, firmly belongs to the latter category.

Bangkok is not short of golf courses, but very few manage to combine championship-level challenge, premium facilities, and genuine strategic depth. Summit Windmill Golf does just that.

Springfield Royal Country Club holds a special place within Hua Hin’s rich golfing landscape. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, it is a course rooted in classical strategic principles rather than modern visual drama.

Majestic Creek Golf Club sits quietly in the hills west of Hua Hin, far from the beachfront resorts and polished championship venues that define the town’s global golf reputation.

Palm Hills: Great Course, Insane Green Speeds Palm Hills was one of Hua Hin's first proper international golf courses, and you can still feel that pioneer spirit when you play it today. Located between the coast and hills, close to the airport, it's got this relaxed tropical vibe combined with clever routing and genuinely interesting golf holes. It's not trying to murder you like Black Mountain or test every part of your game like Pineapple Valley. But as an overall golf expe

Adare Manor Golf : When Everything Is Just Right Some golf courses are really good. A few are exceptional. And then there's Adare Manor, which operates on a different level entirely—one of those places that immediately resets your baseline for what modern championship golf can be. It's set deep in this massive estate in County Limerick, centered around a neo-Gothic manor that looks like something from a period drama. The course combines classic Irish parkland landscape with c

Castelconturbia Golf : Northern Italy's Understated Gem There are courses that announce themselves loudly, and then there are places like Castelconturbia where serious architecture, natural beauty, and championship credentials just quietly coexist without fanfare. It's in Piedmont's rolling countryside north of Milan, close to Lake Maggiore. The experience feels understated and sophisticated in equal measure—a course that reveals its qualities gradually rather than hitting yo

Aphrodite Hills is, in my experience, the only golf course in Cyprus that can genuinely be described as championship level.

Just minutes from the centre of Marbella, Rio Real Golf Club is one of those courses that quietly reminds you why traditional golf architecture still matters.

Designed by Pepe Gancedo, the course certainly demands accuracy — but in my view, it crosses the line from challenging into simply unreasonable.

Some golf courses challenge you. Some frustrate you. And then there are courses like Santana Golf Club, which simply allow you to enjoy the game.

Guadalhorce Golf : When a Course Just Doesn't Deliver Not every golf course near Málaga can be a hidden gem. Guadalhorce Golf Club is a course I wanted to like but ultimately found flat, uninspiring, and lacking atmosphere. It's hosted professional events, offers a few interesting moments early on, but Guadalhorce never really builds momentum. Once the opening stretch is behind you, the course becomes increasingly dull. Getting There Is Already Weird The approach to Guadalhor

Situated right next to Santa Clara Golf, Marbella Golf & Country Club is a course that surprised me more than once — and not always in a good way.

Golf at Zagaleta New Course feels very different from most rounds on the Costa del Sol.

Santa Maria Golf is a quiet escape into the hills of Elviria, where golf feels unhurried and deeply connected to the land.

Secret Valley Golf Course is set in the hills outside Paphos, far from the coastline and the busier resort areas. Course offers a noticeably different kind of golf from what many people expect in Cyprus. This is a course shaped by dry valleys, natural rock formations, and open landscapes where decision-making and patience matter more than visual drama.

Glyfada Golf Course in Athens has great layout but has not been maintained for years

St Patrick's Links at Rosapenna is unbelievable course making you feel you are not in Ireland but in Caribbean
