If you love golf, or have never played and would like to try it out, you've come to the right place! There are a total of 6 golf courses within an hour's drive from the resort, the closest located only 20 minutes away. Since membership is not a requirement and fees are reasonable, golfing in Thailand, and especially in Hua Hin, is an activity everyone can enjoy.

We've put together a short summary of the facts about each of the courses, including the approximate distances from Dolphin Bay Resort. Our staff will gladly arrange bookings and transportation for a full or half-day golfing excursion!

For golfers looking for a change from the longer championship courses, Milford is the perfect answer. Magnificent sea views are a feature of this unique layout where accuracy and placement are more important than length to register a good score.

We know of professionals who have trouble matching par over this testing layout. The greens are fast and not easy to read, which will challenge the skills of even the most gifted of putters.
