Siam Royal View’s Koh Chang golf course may only be a nine hole pitch and putt, but it is a wonderful environment to enjoy a round of golf.
The course is short, playing 554 yards (507m) on the Chang Noi nine and 571 yards (523m) on the Half Moon nine. The holes (named after the two nearby beaches) are played over the same ground, but are played in different directions so that players can, if desired, play 18 holes in the same day. The direction reverses daily at lunchtime.
The course is well suited, if a little tricky, for beginners and is an ideal introduction to the game of golf. However, more experienced players will also enjoy a round which gives an excellent opportunity to practice the skills of their short game.
