Koh Samui: Thailand’s Island Golf Paradise
Koh Samui is known worldwide as a beach escape, but it also offers one of the most memorable rounds in golf in Thailand: Santiburi Samui Country Club. The course climbs through coconut-covered hills, opening to sweeping ocean views that demand accurate shot-making. Rolling fairways, slick greens, and dramatic elevation changes make every hole a highlight. Golf carts are standard, tee sheets are limited, and mornings are the best time to play — which is why we secure your tee time bookings early and coordinate tight transfers from your resort or villa.
For golfers who want a few superb rounds wrapped in island scenery, sea breezes, and slow afternoons, a Koh Samui golf holiday delivers the perfect mix of golf and relaxation.

Build Your Koh Samui Golf Package Your Way
Your Koh Samui golf package should reflect the style of trip you want. Stay in Bophut or Fisherman’s Village for chic, walkable evenings, Chaweng for lively nights and beach access, Lamai for a calmer coast, or Choeng Mon/Mae Nam for quiet coves. Choose a beachfront resort or a private villa, and we’ll secure preferred tee times at Santiburi, arrange private drivers on the island’s winding roads, and balance the week with rest or leisure days.
Traveling as a couple or a small group? We’ll plan realistic pacing, handle villa or hotel rooming needs, and add extras like spa sessions, romantic dinners, or a celebratory final-round lunch overlooking the sea. With Fairways of Eden, your Koh Samui golf holiday package stays flexible, stress-free, and tailored to you.
Beyond the Fairways: Marine Parks, Temples, and Island Living
A golf trip to Koh Samui is as much about island life as it is about the course. Spend a day exploring the lagoons and viewpoints of Ang Thong Marine Park, or take a longtail or speedboat to Koh Madsum (“Pig Island”) and nearby coral reefs. On land, discover the Fisherman’s Village night market, visit the island’s iconic Big Buddha and Wat Plai Laem, or learn local flavors in a Thai cooking class.
Wellness is another highlight — from yoga retreats to spa afternoons, you can recharge between rounds. For evenings, unwind at a beach club with a daybed and stay for a sunset that rivals the best golf view on the island. In Koh Samui, every hour off the fairway is just as memorable as your round at Santiburi.

Is Koh Samui good for a golf holiday?
Yes, Koh Samui offers spectacular island scenery, ocean-view holes, and a relaxed pace perfect for combining rounds with beach time. While the course selection is smaller than Phuket or Pattaya, the setting is unique and upscale, with great resorts, spas, and easy add-on island excursions.
When is the best time to play golf in Koh Samui?
Samui’s driest window is roughly January–April, with another favorable spell in July–September. October–December can be wetter. We recommend morning tee times for cooler conditions and clearer views. If a quick shower passes, the course drains quickly and play typically resumes soon after.
Where should I stay in Koh Samui for golf and beaches?
Chaweng and Lamai offer lively dining, nightlife, and long beaches; Bophut (Fisherman’s Village) is great for boutiques and sunset dinners; Choeng Mon and Maenam feel quieter and family-friendly. We’ll match your hotel area to preferred tee times, transfer routes, and evening plans.
How far are the golf courses and how do I get there?
Transfers on Samui are generally 15–35 minutes depending on your hotel’s coast and traffic. Private drivers are the most reliable with space for clubs; we schedule pick-ups and returns around tee times. Ride-hailing and taxis are possible, but pre-booked returns avoid waits after your round.
How much does golf in Koh Samui cost and what’s included?
Pricing reflects the island’s premium setting and seasonality. Caddies are standard in Thailand and included with our bookings. Golf carts are included or can be added depending on the club and terrain. Your booking summary lists inclusions and live tee-time prices on your dates.
Do I need a handicap card, and what’s the dress code on Samui?
Most Samui play does not require an official handicap, but golfers should be course-ready and keep pace. Dress code is standard: collared shirt, tailored shorts or trousers, and soft-spike shoes. Sleeveless shirts (men) and denim are typically not permitted at the club.
What can I do in Koh Samui on non-golf days?
Relax at beach clubs, take boat trips to Ang Thong Marine Park, visit temples and viewpoints, book spa days, or explore Fisherman’s Village night market. Families love snorkeling and calm bays; couples enjoy sunset dining and private charters. We’ll space rounds with leisure days for balance.
How many days should I plan for a Koh Samui golf trip?
Plan 4–6 days for two to three rounds plus beach and boat time. A smooth flow is one round on arrival or day two, island excursion mid-trip, then one or two final rounds. Short breaks work in 3–4 days; longer stays add spa and charter days.
