Royal Ratchaburi Golf Club, Kanchanaburi - logo

Opened in 1988, Royal Ratchaburi is one of the most spectacular golf courses in the Kanchanaburi area. The hilly terrain and excellent views of Burmese mountain ranges make for aesthetically pleasing yet challenging golf.

Greens are some of the best-kept in the Kanchanaburi area. Royal Ratchaburi fairways follow the contours of the hills and play for the most part up and down.

The front nine has mostly wider fairways than the back nine, which is considered more challenging. Some excellent but short par-3 holes require precise shots over deep canyons.

The clubhouse, locker rooms, restaurant, and practice facilities are basic, but that is not what the golfers come to Ratchaburi for anyway. Locals consider this a hidden gem of a course and one of the best in the River Kwai area. Royal Ratchaburi is an excellent course for those traveling between Kanchanaburi and Hua Hin.

Local tip: Troops of monkeys can be found in several holes, including the opener, so golfers should beware of any “missing” well-stuck balls.

Enjoyed the course it was a lot of fun. The caddies oddly enough were unprepared for the monkeys and they did not inform us. Lucky for us the monkeys did not take any of our belongings but did take a caddies bag off into the jungle. We quickly zipped up our things in our golf bags after that as we had passports, phone and wallet and we had not checked into our hotel. They should inform golfers of the monkeys and I would suggest they have 1 caddie stay by the carts to ward off the monkeys as they came into our carts a number of times. That is my only suggestion but we enjoyed it

Very good course lay out. I think the greens had some sort of disease in them, very inconsistent. Excellent caddies.
