Featured Golf Course - Rajjaprapha Golf Course in Surat Thani
View from 18th Hole
Rajjaprapha Golf Course - Surat Thani
Built by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand in the shadow of the massive Rajjaprapha Dam and the huge lake behind it, the course is surrounded by huge limestone mountains and the area is often referred to as the “Guilin of Thailand” due to its similarity with the famous tourist spot in China.
The course was built in 2000 but has recently been renovated and is in excellent condition with some very challenging holes and plays 6577 yards off the Blue Tees. There are some large elevation changes and unless you are very fit we would advise against trying to walk – carts are available but we recommend you book in advance.

How to get there?
The Rajjaprapha Golf Course can be reached from Samui or Phuket, or by direct flight to Surat Thani. There course has good accommodation, but there is no alternative accommodation close by. Before or after your stay at the Rajjaprapha Golf Course you can travel onwards to Phuket overland, or by ferry boat to the tropical Island of Samui.
Rajjaprapha Golf Course which is pronounced (Rat-cha-pra-pa ) is located deep inside the Khao Sok National Park about midway between Koh Samui and Phuket – two and a half hours from Phuket, 90 minutes from Surat Thani and about two hours from the Donsak Ferry Terminal where ferries from Samui arrive and depart.

There are several blind tee shots and quite severe doglegs so you will need help from the excellent caddies to find your way around – not too many bunkers or water hazards but some of the fairways are quiet narrow and the greens are lightening fast especially if you get above the hole. The pars 3’s are particularly attractive and the 17th which you approach from an elevated tee box is the pick of the bunch.
