My favorite Course in the world 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 12, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Long Drives, Beautiful Scenery, Not Crowded. This is what disc golf should be. Relaxing. Im just an amateur play with 5 discs, not an expert critic here. For me its just a fun course, challenging for all skill levels.

Cons:

only 9 holes, a bit of a drive for most even if your in Lamai, but well worth it. Course map a bit hard to follow if your new, get someone who has played it before.

Other Thoughts:

Cant wait to see where this course goes in the future.

Naturally Beautiful course. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 10, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

1. Situated in the quiet untouched area of Samui on the coast in an old coconut plantation.
2. Family friendly I often take my 4yr old son with me and he walks around happily, often play with dave the owner and his family.
3. Nature on the course buffalo relaxing in their water holes eagles flying in the area hunting.
4. challenging course layout. uphill/downhill shots, often fierce wind on the coastal holes, elevated baskets.
5. chilled out clubhouse full food menu and ice cold beers or smoothies after the round.
6. Nice to see local adults and children playing in the evening about 4pm seems a social place for the local community.

Cons:

1. Can be difficult to find make sure you have a local sim card and use the GPS on your phone or taxi driver is sure he knows the right way.
2. Only 9 holes would be great to see the course expand to 18 holes I believe there are plans to do this in the near future (fingers crossed)

Other Thoughts:

Thanks for introducing me to the game, Daves enthusiasm for disc golf is intoxicating I look forward to me and Charlie playing more rounds with you, Pawn and Benji in the future.

Beautifully Sculpted Tropical Island Masterpiece 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 7, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Located on an absolutely gorgeous paradise landscape amongst stunning sea views and a meandering jungle river.
Very thoughtful holes that fit perfectly where they belong and require a wide variety and great balance of different skill shots that fairly challenges the full spectrum of players alike.
Excellent facilities and high quality services provided by a gracious, kind, humble, and very hard-working family at ridiculously low cost.
The clubhouse is great and the atmosphere is overwhelming positive, welcoming, and inspirational.
Super high quality baskets with no spit-out issues and the best sounding chains I've ever heard, so nice to smash!
Wicked cool basket placements and immaculate course design in general that highlights the natural beauty of the magical place... It seems like it fits well and was really meant to be a discgolf course.
Very affordable and comfortable accommodation available on site.
Great American, European and Asian food, including the best burgers and coldest beer ever!
Twice a week there are league nights with friendly competition for prize money.
Chilled out vibes, discgolf at its best!



Cons:

Although the current 9 hole layout is perfect, it would be awesome to see the course expand to 18 and perhaps beyond. With the support of the international discgolf community this is a very real possibility. The location is so good for a discgolf complex that could serve as a winter training ground and holiday destination for players from cold climates. There's lots of potential for this great course to grow and get even better.

Other Thoughts:

This is the location of the Hyzenbrownie Open, the funnest and most exciting tournament I've ever experienced. You must check this place out and play in the tournament if you can! Crazy cool player packs and provided entertainment, world-class championship level golf, and opportunities for fun activities immersing in local culture.

Best course in Thailand..By far. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 15, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

So much FUN. Comparable to my home courses in Michigan and in California in terms of difficulty and the sorts but far more beautiful and exotic. I had a great time on and off the course. Dave and Pawn are great host's. Everything you need.

On the relaxing side of the island which is what I like. I had strayed away from Samui because of it being so populated but now I know that there is serenity here and its on the South Side. And trust me, if you wanna turn up and get wild, the south side has some spots too.

Cons:

its not in my back yard.

Other Thoughts:

I went to Samui just to play disc golf and it is really nice that there are two courses on the island but I would set up shop at Laem Sor, cause you are gonna want to play this one multiple times. They still need to establish the bowl hole too. Wheres that sick ass bench dude!

Disc golf in a paradise 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 26, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Only 18 holes disc golf course in Thailand. The course is amazing and keeps on going better and better way. Owner Dave has build the course during last 3 years middle of the jungle by he's hands and the result is pretty amazing!

There are shorter and longer holes so which is perfect because pro's and am's can play in the same course together. New beachfront area holes 4,5,6 are pretty stunning too with a sea view and the course ends to hole 18 which is the longest hole on the course. There are shot from every player I could say, you must see and play it by your self.

And that place you don't have to stop playing even if the rain or night comes, because they got virtual disc golf by PS3 in their cafe and and LED disc set which you can borrow, so you are free to play when ever you like. I would say that's the way to bring the disc golf in a new level in Thailand.



Cons:

It's located south side of the island which is a little bit far from the tourist places , but it is all worth of it! Go, play and have fun!

Other Thoughts:

They also have rooms for rent in the course and their food is amazing! It's healthy and tasty. Beers are cold and coctails are good. Every Sunday there is a league day, which is nice and you can meet another players from the island.

"Off the beaten path!" 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 11, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

"Off the beaten path" there lies a diamond in the rough on the South Side of Koh Samui and it is what could be described as the crown jewel of disc golf in Thailand. Not only does this secret gem offer ice collared beer and great food, it has everything that an experienced disc golfer looks for when concerning landscape and course design, scenic ocean views, sea breezes, big trees and canopies to provide shade and yet have open spaces for big throws, elevation changes, water features, nice targets that catch ace runs or soft finesse putts and upshots, handmade artistic tee signs, proper facilities like a cool clubhouse with fans, hammocks and bamboo huts washrooms/bathrooms, airconditioned affordable guesthouse or backpacker's dream bungalow with island ocean views overlooking the course of nice well manicured greens and fairways, in a beautiful setting just off the beach on a disc golf holiday.

Cons:

Located on the south side of the island away from the tourists and nightlife but for some people and families this may be positive thing...

Other Thoughts:

Also has a nice evening vibe as a great acoustic music venue as well so bring your guitar or whatever instrument for nightly jam sessions.
