History

The club was founded by Swedish entrepreneur Stig Notlöv in 2005.[3] Notlöv was born in Pajala and founded Byggmax [sv], a chain of 200 home improvement stores, which he sold to invest in the course in Hua Hin. The original 18 holes opened on 20 April 2007, and in 2016 another 9 holes, the West course, were added.[4]

Numerous awards followed rapidly. In 2011, Black Mountain was named the best course in Thailand and the best championship course in Asia-Pacific by the Asian Golf Monthly.[5]

In 2012, Black Mountain became the first course in Thailand to be included in US Golf Digest's list of the Best 100 Courses Outside the United States.[5]
