Santiburi Golf Club is a semi-private members club with guests welcome by appointment. The course lies in a series of hills and valleys and the designers have kept most of the natural features, making the course a real beauty. The front nine meanders off down a hillside into a low area dominated by a lake that’s in play on six of the holes. The back nine plays primarily through a series of valleys, concluding with a great pair of finishing holes. The greens all have their own challenge; one or two are positively Machiavellian, so warm the putter up or chip so close that there’s nothing left to do but tap in.

| The 2nd 373 yard par 4 is a dramatic dogleg turning sharply left round a large lake running the length of the hole. Spot on the sharp turn, sits a large bunker in the landing area with another opposite where the fairway runs out. The perfect place to entice players to hit over the dog-leg and shorten the hole. The alternative is to split the bunkers with a well hit fairway wood and accept a longer approach. Getting onto the green is reasonably straight forward, with a large bunker guarding the left side and a small one right. |  |
| The 13th 493 yard par 5 gently bends to the right following the natural contour of the land. A number of bunkers sit left to focus the golfer on the drive, followed by a whole lot more on the right where a second shot would beexpected to land! However you can play safe into a receptive second landing area to leave a wedge to the green, which is guarded by more bunkers so it needs to be precise. The intricately contoured putting surface requires a deft touch to keep the score at acceptable levels. |  |
The 18th 525 yard par 5 is a double dog-leg with water in play left off the tee and then again to the right leading into the green, it also splits the fairway half-way up the hole. The landing area off the tee is spacious and only a poor shot would receive any punishment. From here the bunker-fringed upper lake looms on the right and a fairway sweeps to the left before descending back down to the green. Getting on in two is possible, but carries the risk-reward factor attached to such bravado. Laying up is good as long as you string three good shots together. |
