The Thai course architect Pirapon Namatra laid out the course at Pineapple Valley Golf Club in Hua Hin. Many consider the views from the short par three 15th tee across the ocean to Sing Toh island to be worth the green fee alone.

Pineapple Valley Golf Club
Financed by a group of Dutch investors in the Blue Lotus (Hua Hin) Thailand Company, the 18-hole Pineapple Valley (previously Banyan) layout is the focal point of a large residential development located on the west coast of the Gulf of Thailand. The course was designed and constructed by GolfEAST and its team of local architects, engineers and shapers are much in demand on golf projects throughout Thailand.
The par three 4th hole measures an incredible 253 yards from the back tees with a 150-yard water carry across a pond. This hole and the 409-yard 6th are the only two on the front nine with water hazards in play.
The final short hole on the course arrives on the 15th tee and it’s easy to see why it’s the signature hole at Pineapple Valley. A mere flick of the wedge from the tee for many as it measures only 119-147 yards from tee to green, it offers simply sensational views beyond the heavily sand-protected green to the small island of Sing Toh.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
