Santiburi Samui Golf Club is the only 18-hole golf course on the island of Koh Samui which meanders its way through the jungle and hillsides above the beautiful beaches.  It’s a very tough course – particularly the back nine and you will need to be on top of your game and also enjoy a slice of luck to score well.   Its one of the courses that made it onto our list of Best Golf Courses in Thailand.

This was the  first 18 hole golf course to be built on  the idyllic  island of Samui and Santiburi Samui Country Club is still the only championship golf course open for play a on this lush, tropical island. Set amidst the coconut covered hills and waterfalls of northern Samui this amazing golf course offers panoramic views of the white-sand beaches and coral-ringed nearby islands and it is as pictureque as it is challenging.

The undulating and narrow fairways follow the natural contours of the hills and valleys and as a result you will encounter numerous elevation changes that emphasis accuracy rather than distance – on many of the holes the slope can ensure your ball rolls even further than it carried. A great example of this is the exceptional 17th which is a par-5 which you can reach in two thanks to being downhill all the way; although choosing the correct club for your approach, whether it's your second or third shot, is challenging.

If you can avoid the water hazards that come into play on 13 of the holes, you will find the perfectly manicured greens to be in excellent shape thanks to the very fast Tifeagle grass. Many of the greens are multi-tiered and many of them are reminiscent of (and as tough to tame) as those at Augusta, so it's probably a good idea to seek your caddy's advice. The huge elevation change between the 17th tee and 18th green leads to some spectacular shots and you will need the compulsory golf cart to negotiate the slope.

After changing in the comfortable locker rooms, it is worth lingering a bit longer for a meal in the restaurant. It's not because the food is particularly wonderful (it is very good though), but because from the terrace you can enjoy one of the most spectacular views in all of Thailand.

Santiburi Samui Golf Club

bonne expérience au Santiburi golf le parcourt est bien entretenu mais les faiways sont un états tres moyens parcontr eles greens sont tres bien. (good experience at Santiburi golf course the course is well maintained but the fairways are in very average condition but the greens are very good.)

Reviewed by ; on
Parcours situé au pied de la montagne donc golf vallonné .Le retour est plus difficile, les fairways sont plus étroits.Le personnel est très accueillant et les caddies très symphatiques.J e trouve un peu cher les greens fees de plus il faut ajouter le cart et le tips du caddie. (Course located at the foot of the mountain so hilly golf course. The back nine is more difficult, the fairways are narrower. The staff is very welcoming and the caddies very friendly. I find the green fees a little expensive plus you have to add the cart and the caddie tips.)

Not a resort course

Reviewed by ; on
Caddies, clubhouse, course conditions, pace of play are all very good. The only word of caution I would put out there is that this course has a pretty odd layout. Blind teeshots, awkward landing areas, etc. If you are particular about scoring well, you will need to play this course more than once as you'll need to familiarize yourself with the layout.
