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.

Sri Trang Golf Club is an 18-hole, par 72 course in Huai Yot district, Trang province — opened in 2005 on the grounds of the Prayarassadanupradit military camp and open to civilian golfers daily. The course sits in the coastal lowlands of the Trang basin, approximately 850 km south of Bangkok and midway between Hat Yai and Krabi on the Andaman coast corridor. At 300 THB on weekdays (provisional — call +66 75 218 966 to confirm), it is the lowest-priced 18-hole round in the region — a reflection of its government-associated operation rather than any deficiency in the layout, which stretches to 6,555 yards from the blue tees with a coastal setting that brings sea breeze into play. Trang province is less visited by international golfers than Hat Yai or Phuket, making Sri Trang a genuinely off-the-beaten-track option for golfers who want to experience the deep south beyond the usual tourist circuits.
