Golf Courses in Thailand
River Kwai and Koh Samui

Mission Hills Golf Club Kanchanaburi - River Kwai Mission
Hills Country Club in Kanchanaburi is one of the three Jack Nicklaus designed
Mission Hills golf courses in Thailand, the other two being Mission Hills Khao
Yai and Mission Hills Phuket. The course, about two thirds the ways from Bangkok
to Kanchanaburi, is set among natural surroundings on a gently sloping hillside.
Mature palms line the fairways of this River Kwai golf course, which relies on
water, sand, trees and, Nicklaus' specialty, waste bunkers for its hazards.

Nichigo Golf Resort & Country Club The Nichigo Golf
Resort is situated along the River Kwai Yai, the larger of the 2 Kwai Rivers,
about 30 minutes North of the provincial capital. There is welcome peace and
spaciousness about the Nichigo course. The 27 holes (Lake, River and Mountain
courses) are perfectly fitted into the spectacular landscape of Kanchanaburi.
For many golfers visiting Thailand the charm of a course is just as
important as the technical challenge; Nichigo combines both. The exotic site
along the river, the mountainous landscape, as well as abundant tropical gardens
all add to the charm. The many dog legs, side hill and up hill fairways, and
well bunkered greens add to the course
difficulty.

Santiburi Samui Country Club - Koh Samui The Santiburi
Samui Country Club is Koh Samui’s first golf course and provides both challenge
and charm with a lush tropical setting. The 18-hole championship golf course
came to fame when it hosted the 2006 Bangkok Airways Open. It is located on a
hillside of northern coast of Koh Samui, amidst old coconut gardens. The golf
course has a commanding scenic panoramic view of Maenam Beach and the nearby
island of Koh Phangan. Golfers are able to enjoy these magnificent views of the
ocean and beaches from almost all holes. Waterfalls and creeks run through the
land adding lush, natural beauty with the hills providing a picturesque
backdrop.
