Hat Yai Resort & Golf Club
Hat Yai Resort & Golf Club is an 18-hole, par 72 course on the northern edge of Hat Yai city — one of the older established layouts in the lower south, designed by Robert McFarland and opened in the early 1990s. Situated in the Thung Tam Sao sub-district, approximately 10 km from the city centre, the course is the more accessible and budget-friendly of Hat Yai's two main golf venues, drawing a mix of Thai locals, expats, and the cross-border Malaysian golfers who make Hat Yai their primary southern Thailand golf destination. At 600 THB on weekdays (provisional — call +66 74 434 7703 to confirm), it is the lower-priced option in the city, offering a workmanlike 18-hole round without the championship ambition of the Perry Dye-designed Southern Hills. Club rental is available for travelling golfers.

Southern Hills Golf & Country Club is the premier golf destination in Hat Yai — an 18-hole, par 72 layout designed by Perry Dye and opened in 1999 in Ban Phru, Songkhla province. The course stretches to 7,045 yards from the championship tees and is widely regarded as the best in the lower south, drawing golfers from Hat Yai city, from across the Thai-Malaysian border, and from Phuket-based visitors making the trip south along the peninsula. Perry Dye's routing channels the natural character of the site: two nine-hole loops wind along a narrow river valley flanked by dense jungle, with water a persistent presence on the front nine and a memorable island-green par-3 17th and water-flanked par-4 18th providing a dramatic finish. Green fees of 950 THB on weekdays and 1,400 THB on weekends are competitive for a course of this quality. Club rental is available, as are carts and caddies.
