Laid out over a hilly chunk of tropical land not far from the venerable seaside resort of Hua Hin, the course at Banyan comes in two distinct parts. The outward nine winds around the lower part of the property, while the second (more spectacular) nine meanders up and down the slopes offering stunning views over the ocean and towards the mountains of Myanmar in the distance. The scenic manna reaches its apogee at the signature 15th – a short hole with a panoramic vista of the Gulf of Thailand.
