ロイヤル ヒルズ ゴルフ リゾート & スパ

Royal Hills Golf Resort & Spa Khao Yai Korat

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

A dogleg to the left. There are hazards on both the left and right for both the tee shot and the second shot, and a large bunker on the left side also comes into play on the second shot. The green is vertically elevated and guarded by three bunkers.

A slight dogleg to the right. The tee shot is downhill, and the fairway slopes to the right, so the further you hit it the narrower the fairway becomes. The green is long and elevated, with three bumps on it.

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.

A slight dogleg to the right. The bunker on the right side comes into play on the tee shot. The second shot is over a creek that crosses just in front of the green. The green is long and two-tiered, and the creek runs over the left side of the green.

Almost straight. The green is difficult, with a creek crossing the front of the green and guarded by a deep bunker. The green is elevated, with a creek on the left and another bunker on the right.

A beautiful hole over a pond with the mountains in the background. The green is long and wide, with a bunker on the front left and a strong undulating surface.

A tough shot. There is a pond on the left side of the green and two bumps on the green.

A nearly straight and difficult hole. The second shot is over a dry creek. There are two bunkers on the left side of the green, and the green is strongly backed by two moguls.
