Pineapple Valley Golf Club – Hua Hin
Previously known as Banyan Golf Club, Pineapple Valley Golf Club continues the tradition of world-class golfing excellence in Hua Hin. The rebranding, effective from March 1, 2024, pays tribute to the area's rich history of pineapple farming while preserving the same exceptional golfing experience that earned the club international acclaim.
Designed by Pirapon Namatra of Golf East and opened in 2008, Pineapple Valley is renowned for its stunning integration of tropical landscape, rolling hills, natural creeks, and rocky outcrops. The course features panoramic views of the Burmese Mountains and glimpses of the Gulf of Thailand, creating a breathtaking setting for an unforgettable round of golf.
Recognized as one of the best golf courses in Asia, Pineapple Valley maintains its legacy of superior course conditions, luxurious facilities, and outstanding Thai hospitality — now refreshed with a vibrant new identity that connects deeply to the land's heritage.
Course Layout & Design
Pineapple Valley Golf Club offers a par-72, 18-hole championship layout stretching 7,361 yards from the championship tees. The design harmonizes with the natural undulations of the land, incorporating wide fairways, dramatic elevation changes, natural watercourses, and strategically placed bunkering.
The layout challenges players with a mix of long, demanding holes and shorter, strategic opportunities. Elevation changes offer both strategic variety and scenic vistas, making every round both exciting and visually stunning.
