ロイヤル ヒルズ ゴルフ リゾート & スパ
This hilly course unfolds at the foot of the southern side of Khao Yai National Park. It has moderate ups and downs that make use of the natural undulations, and is surrounded by the majestic nature of Thailand and deep green trees, and the mountain scenery from the course is wonderful. The beautiful bunkers placed throughout the course also enhance the strategy. The distance is over 7,300 yards from the championship tee, and the fairway is wide, so you can hit the tee shot with all your might. However, half of the holes are entangled with water hazards, the bunkers are in play, and there are many uphill holes, so it can be said to be a fairly tough course. There is a wide variety of long and short holes. The greens are undulating, making putting fun and well-maintained. The last four holes are impressive, and the 17th and 18th holes are tough and will be the key to making a score.

Course Introduction
The fairway meanders, but is a very long, almost straight middle course. The OB line on the left side from the tee to the green is shallow, and there is a pond on the right side. There are two bunkers on the right side of the green. The green is long and narrow, with a ridge running down the middle.
A long, double dogleg that curves left and then slightly right. On the tee shot, there is a pond on the left and a tree on the right, making the fairway tight. On the second shot, there is a pond on the right, and you must decide whether to cross the creek that crosses the fairway or to chip away. The green is guarded by bunkers on the left and back, and a pond on the right.
