“Black Mountain”, the Standard Golf Course of Asia
Chamnan Puengioh
Mr. Cheeravat Choojitarom, Black Mountain Golf Course General Manager, revealed that the project is nearly completed. It is said to be the standard golf course of Thailand and Asian countries, with 18 holes as is the international standard, surrounded by mountainous and a forestry atmosphere by natural and human creation.
The walk way is laid on the hill and foothill, passing each hole from the beginning to the end like foreign standard golf courses. The name “Black Mountain” is derived from black granite – mountain surroundings at the back of the project, so the name is designed to match its environment.
The budget of 1,000 million baht was spent on landscaping, a clubhouse and the golf course. The project owner is a Thai, but other investors are foreigners. This project covers an area of approx. 1,200 rais and it is expected to be completed and available to put in service in the middle of 2008.
“The main target customer of the Black Mountain project is actually the general public who live locally and businessmen from Bangkok. But it has been found that most customers are foreigners from Scandinavian countries visiting in golfer groups in various hotels in Hua Hin and Cha-Am Districts.
The golf rate is 3,000 baht / a golfer, and a group must be composed of 4 golfers. The playing condition is that all golfers are allowed to play in the morning and the golf course will be closed after 13.30 for screen maintenance and restoring its green area.” said Mr. Cheeravat .
There are around 120 Thai and overseas golfers playing on the course per day, and it is not allowed to accept more than that. The number of players and time must be limited in accordance with its condition. All players of the golf course will be given a special card for the next play.
The clubhouse and its location were designed by an Australian architect assigned by the Executives to harmonize with its natural surroundings. This golf course proudly won the 2nd prize of The Best Asian Golf Magazine in Asia, which has made all of the 80 executives and staff extremely proud.
Besides the golf course, the project also provides a village, villas, and condominium located around the course and these are offered to Thai and foreign customers who are thinking of staying in the Hua Hin District. A touch of nature, facilities and a sports center are the best selling points of this project.
Each house is located on a standard sized area as in foreign countries, with a price of 43-50 million baht for each. There are a total of 15 houses in the first set, of which 7 have been sold. Besides that, the elegant condominium, located in the valley where you can take in the sea breeze as well as the clear ocean view, only costs 9-20 million baht. When a customer buys a house or condominium, he will have the special privilege of joining and becoming a lifelong golf member, complementary of the club as well.
Black Mountain Project in Hua Hin, the city of tourism for all levels of people, is willing to give service and welcome tourists as well as to take on the role of the front receptionist of the city, welcoming people to this beautiful city and it will continue to assist in local society as well.
