Southern Hills Golf & Country Club
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.

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.
