Challenging, but attackable in a beautiful location 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 26, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Unlike many 9-hole courses, there's been a great deal of thought and execution put into this course. Each hole has been crafted with purpose and the result is a good variety of power and finesse with every hole having a unique feel. Some holes are more difficult than others, but all are eminently fair. There are mandos, water, and elevated baskets, and the course challenges players without needlessly bedeviling amateurs like myself. The course progression and the tee/hole placements help bring out the natural beauty of the setting.

In addition to the course itself the owner Dave is a fun, thoughtful guy who loves disc golf and takes great pride in the maintenance and development of the area. You'll play a round or two in the morning and come back to him trimming the fairways during the afternoon.

Cons:

Being a jungle course, there is some tall grass if you go off the fairways.

The signage could be improved, but if you play with Dave he will show you around.

You will need a motorbike to get here, unless you stay at the on-site AirBNB or one of the nearby hotels.

Other Thoughts:

As of July 2018, the daily fee is 200 Baht ($5.50) for as many rounds as you can shoot. Yearly memberships are sold for 1500 Baht, and qualify you for the Ace pool.

There are discs you can borrow if you don't have your own.

Bug repellant and sun screen is recommended.

Baskets catch nicely; no silly spit-outs.

One of the best courses I've played abroad!!!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 12, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

THIS IS A MUST PLAY course if you are traveling in Thailand and play disc golf. I'm an avid, amateur disc golfer that has played all over the U.S. as well as abroad. This is a professionally designed course that challenges a high-level disc golfer in the best ways. Don't waste your time on the other courses on the island, this is the one you wanna play. Beautiful scenery, some holes play towards the water, the others are situated on lush landscape. The course owner and his wife are awesome people, very hospitable.

Cons:

It's on the more remote south side of Koh Samui, which mean's it's a bit of a drive, but every bit worth it!

Other Thoughts:

Probably one of the top 10 courses I've ever played in the world given the beauty of the course itself and it's challenging setup!
