The aim of the designer was to create a golf course that looks as natural as possible and maintains many of the features of the site.
The most important features are the natural creeks that run throughout the course and the natural rocks that have been used as design features on many of the holes.
As many of the original trees as possible have been kept and many new trees have been planted to frame the holes.
Very important in the design concept, was to create a course that could be a test for the top golfers in the world but also very playable and enjoyable to the average golfer.
All the holes provide the golfer with a safe route, but for the more adventurous player there is a higher risk option with a potential greater reward.
The design offers generous fairways for the shorter hitter but becoming narrower for the longer hitter. The greens are large with many pin positions, with different degrees of difficulty, and the course is well protected by sculptured bunkers.
Much thought went into the choice of grass, and it was decided to use seashore paspalum for the tees, fairways and rough. This grass gives a great playing surface and a beautiful emerald green color. It was decided to use tifeagle bermuda grass on the greens. This hybrid bermuda grass is now recognized as the best putting surface in tropical areas.

The new nine-hole par-3 layout in Hua Hin, at Thailand's best golf course - Black Mountain at Hua Hin changes attitudes in Asia about the short version of the golf game.
Deep and plentiful bunkering, water on almost every hole, greens protected by steep banks and undulations everywhere make the course a far cry from the pitch-and-putt image of par-3 courses - and a challenge even for tour pros.
