Set in a valley surrounded by huge black granite rock covered mountains, the Black Mountain Golf Club is a challenging location for golf holidays in Thailand, the site for Asian PGA tour events in 2009 and 2010 and the Europe versus Asia match play Royal Trophy in 2011. In 2014 Black Mountain hosted The Thailand Classic, the first European Tour event to be staged in Thailand. The Thailand Classic also held in 2015 and 2016, is now a major fixture on the European and Asian Tours.

The golf course looks as natural as possible and maintains many original features. The most important of these are the small creeks that run throughout Black Mountain and the rocks used as design elements on many of the holes. The original trees kept, and many new ones planted. Meandering creeks with spillways for carts to pass over frame many of the holes.

Black Mountain is not only a test for the top professionals but also very playable for the average golfer, ideal for everyone interested in a Thailand golf holiday. The holes provide the golfer with a safe route, but for the more adventurous player, there is a higher risk option with a potential greater reward.
