A Note on Selection – More Than Just 12

Before we dive into our top picks, it’s important to say this: choosing only a handful of favorites in a country like Thailand isn’t easy. The truth is, there are so many fantastic courses across every region that narrowing it down to just 12 doesn’t do full justice to what the country offers.

We’ve selected these standout golf courses because they represent a wide range of playing styles, regional character, and award-winning layouts. But make no mistake – many other golf courses in Thailand are just as worthy of praise. In fact, Fairways of Eden currently partners with more than 60 of the best golf courses throughout Thailand. From hidden gems to well-known championship layouts, each one offers a unique golfing experience.

So while this list highlights our top selections for 2025, we always encourage our guests to explore and ask us about other regional favorites. Whether you prefer a relaxed coastal round, a jungle-lined fairway, or a highland challenge – we have the perfect course for you. Lets dive into the Best Golf Courses 2025.
