Majestic Creek Golf Club Resort

Majestic Creek Golf Club and Resort opened in 1993 in the foothills 20 kilometers west of Hua Hin, designed by Dr. Sukitti Klangvisai the Thai architect also responsible for Loch Palm in Phuket. The course sits with the mountain range that fronts the Myanmar border as its backdrop, and the nearby valleys feed a network of streams and small lakes that wind through the entire property. Getting there from Hua Hin takes about 25 minutes along Route 3218 through sugarcane, tapioca, and pineapple plantations a drive that tells you fairly quickly that this is not a polished resort course but something more naturally embedded in its setting.

The layout runs 27 holes across three nine-hole loops: the Creek Course (A), the Lake Course (B), and the Waterfall Course (C). The A and B nines combine for 7,123 yards; the C nine runs slightly shorter at 3,289 yards from the back tees. All 27 holes were renovated in 2012, with TifEagle greens and Zoysia fairways installed across the full property. No official slope or course rating is publicly available.

Course Overview

The streams are the defining feature of the layout not as decorative elements but as genuine structural hazards that Dr. Klangvisai preserved and routed the course around rather than removing. Water comes into play throughout all three nines, and the combination of natural creek crossings and small lakes means most holes require a decision about when to carry and when to lay back. The palm-lined fairways provide good roll on well-struck drives, and the TifEagle greens run fast with subtle slopes that TripAdvisor reviewers consistently describe as diabolical in the complimentary sense.

Three holes in particular define what makes Majestic Creek worth the drive from Hua Hin. The signature hole is the par 3 fifth on the Waterfall Course, played from a tee built above a waterfall that gives a panoramic view across the course before you commit to the shot. The new tee position added post-renovation makes it one of the more visually distinct par 3s in the Hua Hin region. On the Lake Course, hole 18 is a par 5 of 588 yards that requires a long, accurate tee shot followed by two more precise decisions: a stream crossing and then a lake crossing before reaching a narrow green that slopes steeply from back to front, offering very little margin on the approach. Hole 6 on the same nine is a strategic par 4 where a controlled fade off the tee sets up the best angle into a three-tiered green play the dogleg honestly rather than cutting the corner, and birdie is genuinely on offer.

A German golf magazine ranked Majestic Creek as the best course in Hua Hin, a verdict that golfasian.com describes as one shared by many locals and long-term expats in the area. The clubhouse, locker rooms, restaurant, and pro shop were all upgraded as part of the 2012 renovation. Onsite accommodation is available, and the Majestic Creek Beach Resort on the seafront serves as an alternative base a short drive away.

For golfers on Hua Hin golf packages who want a course that plays differently from the more manicured resort layouts closer to town, Majestic Creek offers 27 holes of natural, challenging parkland golf that rewards a return visit across different nine combinations.
