Golf on Koh Samui

Samui is not a golf island, but it has one genuinely good course. Santiburi Samui Country Club above Maenam is the island's only 18 hole championship course, hilly with views over the Gulf of Thailand. Green fees run about 4,000 to 5,500 THB depending on season, and tee times are scarce in December and January, so book early. Royal Samui Golf is the 9 hole budget alternative for a quick round or practice. Residents should ask Santiburi about memberships if you plan to play weekly.
