ロイヤル バン パイン ゴルフ クラブ
Of the 18 holes, 15 involve water, making this a links-style strategic course. The course is flat and has undulations on both the fairways and greens. The bunkers around the greens are beautifully placed. The course is characterized by many risk-reward holes. It's tough from the full-back black tees, but the course is only 6,466 yards from the back tees (blue tees) and just 5,960 yards, less than 6,000, from the regular tees (white tees), so on days when the wind isn't strong, playing from the longer tees may be more interesting.

Course Introduction
A double dogleg that curves to the right and then to the left. Be careful of the pond on the right when you hit the tee shot. On the second shot, you can either cut in front of the pond or go over it. The pond is on the left side of the second and third shots. The green is slightly elevated and guarded by three bunkers.
A slight dogleg to the right. On the second shot, you must decide whether to chip in front of the pond or go over it. Long hitters aiming for a two-on will be faced with a single open bunker waiting in front of the left side of the green. The green is undulating, with two bunkers to the right of the green.
A very short par 4 with a slight dogleg to the right. Long hitters can get the ball close to the green, but the green is blind from the tee and the fairway and the right side of the green face a pond, so not only distance but also accuracy is required. The green is strongly elevated. There are two bunkers on the right side of the green.
A long and tough middle course with a dogleg to the right. The fairway from the tee shot slopes to the right and has a pot bunker in the middle of the fairway, and the right side of the fairway is guarded by several overlapping bunkers. The green is 52 yards long and narrow, with two bunkers and a pond on the right side of the green.
