Nestled amidst the verdant mountains overlooking the pristine Chaweng and Lamai beaches, the Royal Samui Golf and Country Club (RSGCC) emerged in 2006 from the collective vision of a group of passionate golf enthusiasts. Their mission: to create an accessible yet captivating golfing sanctuary, where players could revel in the sport’s joys amid a tranquil and picturesque setting.
Though currently comprised of nine holes, the Royal Samui course harbors aspirations of expanding into the 18-hole masterpiece envisioned by its creators. Each meticulously crafted hole offers sweeping panoramas of the surrounding landscape, with dramatic elevation changes adding an extra layer of challenge and allure to every swing.
Navigating the course demands skill and precision, as golfers encounter obstacles and hazards uncommon in typical 9-hole layouts. Only those well-versed in the nuances of the game dare to vie for par, carefully selecting clubs to navigate the treacherous drops in elevation that punctuate the course.
Despite its modest size, playing the existing nine holes twice promises a complete and satisfying 18-hole round, ensuring ample opportunity to immerse oneself in the course’s natural splendor and technical demands.
While caddies are not available, golfers can avail themselves of rental golf carts to traverse the course’s undulating terrain. Accessing the facility can prove a thrilling adventure in itself, particularly during the rainy season when rugged 4-wheel-drive vehicles are essential for navigating the challenging roadways. Prospective players are advised to check ahead for road and course conditions, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable golfing experience amidst the breathtaking vistas of the Royal Samui Golf and Country Club.
