About Royal Samui Golf
Royal Samui Golf & Country Club is a hillside nine-hole course set high between Lamai and Chaweng, with sweeping views over beaches and offshore islands. Narrow fairways, natural boulders and dramatic elevation changes create a demanding yet relaxed round that appeals to golfers seeking a scenic, good-value alternative to Koh Samui’s championship layouts.
Highlights
- Nine-hole mountain course between Lamai and Chaweng with sea and island views
- Elevated tees and greens with dramatic drops in elevation and tight fairways
- Natural rock formations and coconut plantations surrounding many holes
What People Say
Strengths
- Striking panoramic views over Lamai, Chaweng and nearby islands from multiple holes.
- Challenging layout with narrow fairways and big elevation changes that reward accurate ball-striking.
- Good value green fees compared with larger championship courses on Koh Samui.
Things to Note
- Course is only nine holes; many golfers play it twice to complete 18.
- Built on steep terrain with no caddie service, so expect some walking and self-navigation.
Unique Features
- Compact nine-hole mountain layout offering Lamai and Chaweng sea views from most holes.
- More affordable, independently played experience without caddies, contrasting with Koh Samui’s full-service resorts.
Insider Tips
- Choose a clear morning or late-afternoon tee time for cooler temperatures and the best visibility.
- Bring extra balls and play conservatively on tighter holes; wayward shots can be heavily penalised.
- Arrange transfers in advance, as the mountainside access road is steep and not ideal for scooters.
