Reviews 1 - 15 from 15
Course conditions ‚ok‘, Service to improve, no Range
Reviewed February 12, 2024
We visited the Sea Pines Golf Club on Feb. 12th organized by HuaHinGolfCourse. com. Pickup and transfer were on time, the driver friendly and the car (Toyot Fortuner) was good. Same for return.
Welcome was not particularly friendly and there is no Driving Range for warmup. However, there was at least a possibility to do some chipping and pitching as warmup replacement. The ladies were not served in the clubhouse before the game (?). The caddies seemed to be a bit disappointed as we had chosen to walk (instead of taking carts). The condition of the fairways and greens is ‚ok‘ with definitely some room for improvement for greenkeeping.
Caddies were OK for course management, knowing distances and giving advice. Motivation for supporting an the greens declined as we progressed.
Ladies stopped after 14 to take a drink at the clubhouse. Again, they were not served (!?).
Caddie Master asked for 500Baht tip per person for caddies.
Course layout is generally interesting and diversified. Unfortunately, there are only 2-3 holes close to the sea. We‘ll check some other courses this week but definitely not go back to Sea Pines due to lack of range, course conditions and staff service.

Great course at a good price. Will play again. Not as interesting as some in the area as quite flat. Good layout.
Nice Track-Poor Management.

Nice layout. Challenging to score in 70's. You must drive the ball long, so Probably not popular with Asians. Fairways stay green all summer unlike other courses. Army has plenty of water. Oceanside holes are fantastic. Nice salt breeze.
Caddys range from good to bad, luck of the draw. You CANNOT drive the cart and it's really not good. Watch your shot? Forget it. In the rough! Drop another and take the penalty. They wont to go directly to a lost ball and look. They often have no idea where your ball landed nor care if it's in the rough. Just blew your score up because they can't find your shot? Shut up and pay the 300 Baht. Some really bad attitudes there.
The clubhouse is new, has an air conditioned dining room and cold beer. Nice. Pad Thai Goong is excellent. Beautiful view overlooking the ocean. Outside seating for smokers is good. Clubhouse lockers are new, big, wood and beautiful. Showers blow plenty of hot and cold. Typical combs, powders, etc. Nice.
Green stemp is posted at the starter and usually about 9. Fair enough as there are places on the green you don't want to be. At least you have a chance of stopping it by the hole, unlike Palm Hills.
Caddys need to ride on the back and do their job if you are paying 3500Baht. Otherwise it's best to play somewhere else.

Good flat place by the sea, service can be improved
Reviewed April 2, 2024
Played on March 14,2024. The 18-hole course of the Sea Pine Army Golf Club is located south of Hua Hin and is the only golf course in the region directly on the sea, although only holes 16 to 18 actually go directly by the sea. Access to the facility is from the expressway through an entrance where a parking fee is charged. If you say you want to go to the golf course, you don't have to pay anything and you'll be waved through. There is a hotel and/or recreational complex right next to the golf course, which is probably intended primarily for military personnel but also tourists. There is also a managed section of beach where apparently mostly locals enjoy the sea. After the access, you first drive past the driving range at the end of the golf course (distance to the clubhouse feels like 3 km). You then drive over a bridge over the railway line, which divides the golf course into two parts. Trains 1 and 2 and 16 to 18 are on the sea side, the other trains are behind the railway line, some of them right next to the expressway, which you can also hear. The clubhouse with attached restaurant (not used) is quite attractive, but does not have a modern high-end standard. The pro shop, where registration is also located, is very small and manageable. The lady at the counter was rather uninterested in us as guests. Everything else was more important than serving us. It was important to her that I showed the voucher for my booking, which was required for the first time on one of our rounds in Hua Hin. Until now it had been enough to say the start time and the name. After she had made out the tickets for the starter, she pushed them across the counter without a word. Thanks to the signs, we found our way to the starter without any further help. The starter was just as uninterested in us and you had to talk to him before he looked up from his cell phone. When our caddy ladies came with the bags, the two of us were able to start playing about 30 minutes before our actual start time of 11 a.m. The game operation was very manageable. A look at the start list showed that a flight should start about every 30 minutes. The standard green fee of 2,500 Baths can be described as rather cheap. Those who play in the afternoon pay even less. A buggy is also relatively cheap at 600 bath. But you don't really need a buggy as the place is absolutely flat with no elevations. Only the route under the railway line between the tees and to the driving range is a little longer. The caddy fee is the usual 350 bath. It must also be said here that our caddies were apparently too warm that day to do a good job. My wife had a buggy, I walked. My caddy lady always let me take her with me in my wife's cart and then brought me the supposedly correct two or three clubs to my playing position. Bunkers were not chopped by her and I repaired divits myself. My wife's caddy lady was also more busy with her cell phone than with her job. On hole 3 we ran into a flight of four. It was quickly decided to skip the hole and make up for it later. After 18 there was no longer any question of it, I could play hole 1 again, the way to hole 3 was too far! But now to the course: It offers a lot of water (there is already water on the first tee) and many bunkers as well as a few doglegs. A few trees also come into play. You should choose the tee mark based on your skill level; with some tee shots you have to stretch to reach the fairway. The fairways are usually open, so that slightly distorted tee shots are usually easy to find. The most beautiful lanes are certainly lanes 16 to 18 on the sea side. After 9 holes you are not at the clubhouse but in the middle of the course at an aid station where there are also toilets. The condition of the pitch was absolutely fine considering the persistent dryness. The greens were hard, fast and mostly slightly undulating. If the entire staff were a little friendlier, you could make a recommendation, but I can only give it a recommendation for the place and its location, and the place is the star.

Good condition
Reviewed February 6, 2024
Course played on February 3rd, 2024 Condition of the farrways and bunkers: good Greens were perfect; Advantage of the mandatory caddies, which always smooth out the pitch marks cleanly.
The course is accompanied by a lot of water, although the sea can only be seen on the last three holes. These also form the highlight of the place.

Nice place but tricky
Reviewed February 12, 2022
The phone number and email address are incorrect. Please adjust.
It's relatively long and not that easy to play. Today you could get green fee, chart and lunch before 1750 baht.
Greens were difficult to read.
Otherwise the place makes a good impression

Beautiful place, impeccable greens
Reviewed January 9, 2019
Well maintained golf course with beautiful fairways, 1 point deduction for the not so impeccable fairways. These are visually quite beautiful, a dense grass growth looks different (whining at a high level).
Place very challenging because many water hazards and bunkers. There are, however, 4 different men's tees.
Highlight are the excellent fast and sprint-loyal greens, as well as the fairway 16, a par 5, with 3. hit the water on the green, with enormous headwind. Here you have a very nice view of the sea.
Although played well, but due to the tropical heat "received like a mushroom".

Perfect gomfplatz
Reviewed April 10, 2018
The sea pine is a really beautiful golf course. You can easily walk it, as it is very shallow. The entire area makes a very well-kept impression. The greens are in top condition and sometimes very tricky. We always played blue. There he has something over 6000 meters and is sporty to play. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays is sport day, which means it costs only 1300 bhat from 1st April. That's about 34 euros. The intercontinental hotel takes about 10 minutes. With the taxi. A cheaper must for all golfers.

Since we had the bad luck with the rains last year, we wanted to know it again this year. In absolute top weather, the place was great, the opinion about the greens I have to revise, however, they were very fast and tricky. The highlight of the course are the lane 16 - Par5 dogleg right, which one plays on the sea and then parallel - and train 18 - Par4 towards the sea with a fantastic view!

The statement about the place of many golfers I absolutely can not make an impression when they write that it should be an easy place. it comes with this place on it depends on which T man. from the rearmost T this place is very difficult as average golfer with a detachment length of about 200 meters. so if you call this place light, then you play away from the third last T.
For me it is an incredibly difficult place, very interesting and you have to assess yourself that you also choose the right tee.

For the weather a lot can nix
Reviewed January 11, 2017
Unfortunately we had the bad luck that it has poured 2 days before our round of a piece and with rain. But the place really presented in a passable condition. The four stars are there for the layout. Despite the many bunkers (which at us rather waste area had quality) and the many water hazards (which also partially included the bunker) it is fair and also for high HCP's playable. The greens were in good condition, however, compared to other places considered very slow and thus difficult. We did the track 18 that runs along the sea, not play - because of the heavy rains it was locked. All in all, one Sea Pines for good middle class of Hua Hin offer.

Landscaped, good - but!
Reviewed January 9, 2016
The first golf course in Thailand on my partner because not ALLOWABLE dress code was not allowed to play! No colorful Langarmpolo (Bogner Golf) for women.
So I played the course alone (3'er Flight). Everything pretty full and as Europeans we were zuruckgestellt repeatedly at startup.
Four stars there for the place is really great. Abwegslungsreich, water, bunkers etc. always there where one does not need it. The three tracks on the beach are great. Caddies I've had better and the clubhouse does not shine with service is very pleasant to sit.

Neat place
Reviewed March 12, 2014
We were in March 2014 on this course, which is part of the Thai army. He is in very good condition. Flat, but with many water hazards and bunkers "blessed". Greens a little slow. The last four holes located on the sea are spectacular. All in all, it was worth it. Care / Clubhouse / restaurant is more in need of motivation... probably a sign that it is not under private management...

Well suited for high HCPs
Reviewed January 31, 2013
The Sea Pine Course overlooks the sea and is particularly impressive on the last four holes with a magnificent view of the same. The fairways and greens are well maintained. The tracks are very playable, even for high handicap, since the place is very flat and broad in scope. Very good players are likely to get bored, because water rarely comes into play and the bunkers are some big but not deep though at some point. The clubhouse offers food and drink at reasonable prices. The pro shop is small but provides the basics in equipment. Green fee was included current 3400 e-caddy. Overall, my verdict: Simple place but not spectacular. Nice game.
