Koh Chang Golfing?

In case you like to improve your golf game while in Holiday don’t worry, as guest of our luxury villas on Koh Chang, you have access to Siam Royal View’s Koh Chang Golf course. The nine hole pitch and putt course is the only golf course on the island.

The golf course on Koh Chang is situated in a beautiful and unique setting just a few hundred meters from the beach. It is laid out over one large and several smaller islands set in a tropical, salt water lagoon and connected by wooden walkways. It is landscaped with local palm trees and other tropical flora.

It plays over nine par 3 holes and is challenging even for experienced golfers. An innovative feature is that the holes reverse every day at lunch and play in an the opposite direction. It is therefore possible to enjoy 18 unique holes on the same day.

The state of the art artificial greens are unique to Thailand and were introduced along with other features like raised greens and tees and lifted but well drained bunkers to allow the course to be played even after a major thundershower.

Being located within a lagoon, the golf course features plenty of water hazards. Play takes place on the beautifully landscaped fairways and between islands, including our signature hole where players tee off from one island towards a green on another island, something rarely found anywhere in the golfing world.

The Koh Chang golf course was fully designed in compliance with International Pitch & Putt Federation Regulations and tournament specifications.

Happy Golf Chang Golfing !

Siam Royal View’s Koh Chang golf course may only be a nine hole pitch and putt, but it is a wonderful environment to enjoy a round of golf.

The course is short, playing 554 yards (507m) on the Chang Noi nine and 571 yards (523m) on the Half Moon nine. The holes (named after the two nearby beaches) are played over the same ground, but are played in different directions so that players can, if desired, play 18 holes in the same day. The direction reverses daily at lunchtime.

The course is well suited, if a little tricky, for beginners and is an ideal introduction to the game of golf. However, more experienced players will also enjoy a round which gives an excellent opportunity to practice the skills of their short game.

The ever present water hazards mean all players will have to temper an aggressive game with prudence if they want to stay out of the lagoon.
