Whilst Santiburi is a proper Championship standard course, you have to pay for it. And I have to disagree with their policy of no children under the age of 12 years allowed on the course.

If you child is an up and coming pro then he or she has to go elsewhere.

For me the Royal Samui Golf & Country Club is by far the best option for any local or touring golfer. Alot more laidback in their regulations, dress code is really upto you as long as you have appropriate shoes(any flat sole runner would be ok), YOU are the driver of the cart which is half the fun, and kids of any age are welcome.

Never played at Bophut Hills before but with the longest hole at just 163 yards can't really classify it as a proper course. But I am sure it can be fun for some.

Some people have commented on the fact that Royal Samui is also a very short course. I would have to disagree. The holes range from 92 to 329 yards. (in all 3 par 3s and 6 par 4s).

Agreed Santiburi has all the extra facilities that some people need or expect but for that on the spur decision to go have a hit with your mates or family then it is Royal Samui for me.

And the views of Chaweng Beach and Lamai Beach are spectacular.

Oh and by the way if you are 2 players at Royal Samui Golf & Country Club, the cost of the cart can be shared. Saving 300 Baht making the cost only 1,450Baht.

All golfers should pay 10000 baht extra/ hour for making a fresh water pipeline to the mainland.

I want to some pressure in the government water supply.

Where do the golfers think the water comes from, the sky?

Just have to rant.....

Because having fun doesn't waste scarce natural resources like water. Who was it who said " golf is a great way of spoiling a good walk?"
