My father, brother and I booked 3 tickets for the tournament the 7th of march 2020 at Sea Pine Golf Club - to compete and play with two other friends that are living in Hua Hin, they actually invited us to come play with them. A rather expensive fair when it comes to Golfing in Thailand.
We had gunstart at hole 10. First 9 holes we went through just fine and it was a lovely course this far. (Just the 9 holes on bounty, cause it's the only part i have seen)
Finally we got to hole 1 during the tournament and suddenly 5 flights turned up and the keepers let them go in front of us (for no reason) - even though we got there first. So, now we're paying for a tournament where they let random flights in front of the tournament players and this wouldn't be a problem at all if it was a regular busy day and we where regular players - but we have paid lots of money to play a tournament.
At this point the five flights go in-front, we have now waited about 50 minutes at hole one for them to finish - and what happens now? Another 5 flights turn up and they just let them through too? Erhm.. Now it's just madness. Imagine getting to your new hole and seeing 10 flights go infront of you because the employees tell that "thats just how it is" and now the whole golf course i stacked up and it creates massive lines. In a tournament!
We didn't have time to wait another 45-60 minutes (the three of us) - a lot of the other tournament players where really angry as-well. You don't pay lots of money to play a tournament to wait 1,5 hours after the first 9 holes. We went to management and asked for half of our money back - cause we didn't play the last 9 holes and we where to skip the dinner aswell/prizing.
Our two friends continued to play - and what they told us later that day, was that the last 9 holes took them more than 5 hours to play because of "army-flights" where let through!
You don't host a tournament, let more than 10 flights infront of the tourmanet players, so that a round of golf takes almost 7 hours. It's plain bad planning, extremely bad management and even worse customer service.
What even worse was that they wouldn't return the money (half of it, hence we played the first 9 holes) and they wouldn't even return the dinner tickets either, even though we hadn't eating anything.
A complete disaster to what should have been a fun and joyful day.
I would not recommend Sea Pines Golf Club to anyone - because of bad...
Read moreTHIS IS LITERALLY THE WORSTE EXPERIENCE!
I pay for 9 holes and they took us to play 6 holes
They said we can pay online but when we got there we had to pay cash…
We literally got assisted the WHOLE TIME ! They were always in our feet!
When my ball would go in the bunker, they would take it out and put it on the green… is this playing golf or what ?
We saw about 150 golf carts outside but they couldn’t give us 1 LOL!
I told them that I couldn’t walk because of the injury and they laughed at us and still couldn’t give 1 golf cart…
The prices of the drinks and food are about the same price as black mountain or banyan, however the golf course isn’t AT ALL the same quality service and grass as there….
This is probably the funniest one to me… almost every ball we shot, they couldn’t follow it because they were on there phones, calling someone on the phone or talking to another person… Basically what is the point of paying them or getting a caddy ? Oh, well you have no choice but to get one LoooL!
It’s a nice place, beautiful view of the sea but if you are not a professional golfer, the service will be ridiculously bad and lazy…
HONESTLY, if you are a person that enjoys playing golf and wants a good service, I personally recommend any other golf course...
Read moreSea Pines Golf Course offers a relaxing golf experience right by the sea. The biggest highlight is undoubtedly the view — the ocean breeze and coastal scenery create a calm and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the round. Playing here feels peaceful, especially in the early morning or late afternoon when the sun is softer and the air is cooler.
The course layout is relatively straightforward, making it a good choice for beginners or anyone looking for a casual game without too many challenges. However, more advanced golfers might find the design a bit too simple and less engaging.
Fairway and green conditions are acceptable but not outstanding. Some areas could benefit from better maintenance, especially during the off-season. The course facilities are fairly minimal, and while service is polite, it’s not particularly attentive.
Despite those minor drawbacks, the charm of the sea, the comfortable pace of play, and the natural setting make Sea Pines worth visiting at least once — especially if you’re already in Hua Hin. It’s a solid option if you’re after a scenic and easygoing...
