Black Mountain Golf Club is a championship golf course located ten kilometers west of the city of Hua Hin, Thailand. Recognized as one of the best in Thailand and Asia-Pacific, it has hosted the Black Mountain Masters and the International Series Thailand on the Asian Tour, as well as the True Thailand Classic, co-sanctioned by the European Tour.[1][2]
The club was founded by Swedish entrepreneur Stig Notlöv in 2005.[3] Notlöv was born in Pajala and founded Byggmax, a chain of 200 home improvement stores, which he sold to invest in the course in Hua Hin. The original 18 holes opened on 20 April 2007, and in 2016 another 9 holes, the West course, were added.[4]
Numerous awards followed rapidly. In 2011, Black Mountain was named the best course in Thailand and the best championship course in Asia-Pacific by the Asian Golf Monthly.[5]
In 2012, Black Mountain became the first course in Thailand to be included in US Golf Digest's list of the Best 100 Courses Outside the United States.[5]
The Black Mountain Championship was voted Tournament of the Year on the 2024 Asian Tour by the players.[6]
