Meticulously laid out on mountainous terrain overlooking Chaweng and Lamai, Royal Samui offers stunning views of both beaches. If these don’t take your breath away, then the course’s rolling landscape, elevation changes and natural waterways certainly will.
The layout is currently 9 holes with a further 9 soon to be completed. The course is not overly long but is a challenge to the thinking golfer with sensible positioning off the tee required to score well. The greens hold little margin for error, so bring your ‘A’ game for approach shots. The tees, fairways and rough were built using mountain green grass providing high resistance to drought and heavy rains – a first in Thailand.

The 2nd 276 yards par 4 is a breathtaking down hill hole; reachable with the driver. With Chaweng beach as a backdrop and out of bounds right, all the way to the green and behind and strategic bunkers surrounding the small green, the wise player takes a mid to short iron off the tee to the middle of a narrow fairway. The severe down slope of the fairway will help the ball along, leaving a short wedge to the green, which should be played to the left side as it slopes left to right towards the ocean. |

The 5th 329 yards par 4 is another risk-reward hole with magnificent views of both beaches, the clubhouse and the first four holes. For this down hill par 4, the long hitter using a driver can carry the large water hazard (250 yards) and roll to the front of the green. But the sensible thing to do is hit a mid iron to avoid the hazard running down the left and then across the fairway some 230 yards from the tee. On the right of the fairway a rock wall runs the length of the hole, so hit it straight. The approach shot will be about 110-150 yards, playing one club less to a large, well contoured green with bunkers on the left and back side. |

The 8th 312 yards par 4 is not for the faint hearted, but the dramatic view of Lamai beach, the ocean, and the surrounding islands will catch your attention from the tee. Out of bounds looms down the left side of the fairway and large rock faces run down the right. However, an iron off the tee will leave a blind shot into the green, flanked left with a lateral hazard and a pond short right. A 230 yards or so hit uphill off the tee with pin point accuracy will get to a small landing area where you can see the green for your short iron approach shot. |
