Black Mountain – A Golf Community With A Difference

A Golf Community With A Difference

The venue is the award-winning golf club and resort – Black Mountain Golf Club in Hua Hin in Thailand. For those of you who are not familiar with this wonderful facility, most likely the image that would conjure up in your mind’s eye would be that of a lush tropical resort in a perfect setting for golf. It’s absolutely spot on!

For close to a decade, Black Mountain has swept many of the top awards at the annual Asian Golf Awards, the “Oscars” for the golf industry in the Asia Pacific. This year, the club has been selected to be amongst the 12 best golf facilities in Asia and it has been included in the prestigious Asia Pacific Order Of Zenith, the highest industry recognition accorded to a golf club.

When Black Mountain was first conceived in the mind of Swedish entrepreneur and avid golfer Stig Notlov, he wanted to develop a world class golf course that would also offer excellent facilities for the creation of a golf community. Looking back, this vision has become reality.

Today, besides being a highly sought after 27-hole golf course by golfers from all over the world, Black Mountain has also become home to a large community of European residents. There is no other golf facility in Southeast Asia that can match Black Mountain for its ability to attract Europeans to either make Black Mountain a vacation spot or a permanent home.

Black Mountain offers an unparalleled living experience with a choice of large and luxurious course-side villas, townhouses, twin houses, four story villas and condominiums. If the desire is to build a dream home, this can be done quite easily at Black Mountain. There are many residents who have opted to retire in the community and have worked with Black Mountain to build homes to cater to their specific needs.

Located in the foothills, 15 minutes west of the city of Hua Hin, besides the golf course and other sports related facilities and a water theme park, a resident at Black Mountain can expect a tranquil environment and a  lifestyle with luxury living conditions.

Typically, members of the Black Mountain community, besides enjoying golf, partake in frequent member tournaments, dinners and other social activities. This is how a resident describes life at Black Mountain: “We members have fun together here at Black Mountain, regardless of who you are ….. that is what make this place truly unique, the friendship among members.”
