| The Santiburi Samui Country is one of the top places to go golfing in Thailand |
A lot of golf
enthusiasts usually prefer having their holidays spent at some place where
there’s a golf course nearby. Fortunately, such a development so happens to be
one of the many Koh Samui attractions that
make spending a holiday within the tropical paradise even more worthwhile.
All the
travel guides say Santiburi Samui
Country club is a championship course that’s built on the mountain of the island.
Spanning 6,930 yards, this par-72, 18-hole course features unique challenges of
its own. This magnificent development blends in astonishingly well with its natural
environment – downhill slopes, steep hills, and winding fairways which pass
through the coconut forest, cliffs, and mountain creeks – making it none like
any other most golfers have seen in their lifetime.
This club
has a set of rules and guidelines applicable to everyone who wants to play,
which includes making reservations in advance. Those who come in groups are allowed
five people – including non-golfers – in total only. Golfers are required to
register at the proshop at least 15 minutes before game time. Moreover, each
golfer is expected to use a golf cart and have a caddie.
Koh Samui
travel guides say there’s a dress
code that’s applicable to both male and female players. For the men, they
should wear shirts with collars and sleeves at all times. For their bottoms,
slacks, golf shorts, or walking shorts are acceptable.
Females should
also wear collared shirts with sleeves as well. For their lower garments,
slacks, mid-length shorts and mid-length skirts are appropriate. Both men and women
are required to wear soft-spike or spike-less golfing shoes only. Any type of footwear
that could cause damage to the playing field is strictly prohibited.
Aside from
the clubhouse, there are other amenities available to Santiburi’s customers, of
which includes a classy restaurant with a spectacular view of the ocean.
Anyone
looking to enjoy all that Santiburi Samui Country Club has to offer is advised
to reserve accommodations at a nearby place, such as ShaSa Resort &
Residences, which is considered by many to be one of the biggest Koh Samui
attractions. Other than the fact this resort comes with luxurious suites and premier
amenities, Koh Samui travel guides
say it also offers its guest a FREE shuttle service going to the golf course as
well.
