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 Country Club is a complete disaster

Reviewed by ; on
First the bad news: The Santiburi Samui Country Club is a complete disaster. At check-in you meet a handful of unfriendly, disorganized and absolutely incompetent employees. Including the head receptionist and the manager's deputy. The simple process of checking in is one big hurdle with paperwork like a naturalization. The rental clubs are fucked up and from the last millennium and the Probshop is not one by any stretch of the imagination. So if you're expecting anyone to be happy that you want to play golf on The Santiburi Samui Country Club, you're wrong. Now for the good news: the golf course itself is very nice. The individual holes are beautifully laid out in the terrain, the fairways are well maintained and the greens are perfectly mowed. And if you're not playing well, it's definitely not the caddies' fault. Not only are they all very friendly, they really do a great job - whether it's choosing clubs or reading the putting line.

Bring Extra balls and listen to your caddie

Reviewed by ; on
You'e playing on a mountain slope so the Course is challenging but fun. Nothing is flat, The fairways are flat, and the greens aren't flat. Listen to your caddie on the greens as there are a few where what your eyes see is opposite to what your caddie says. Throw in a few blind tee shots as well

Interesting hilly course

Reviewed by ; on
The course is located in the hilly area of Koh Sumui Island. Most holes are short. Distance is not an issue but you need accuracy to avoid hitting the ball into the wood. It is a bit too expensive though.
