About this experience

Samui Football Golf is an 18 hole footgolf course combined with a botanical garden and a great activity for either sports fans or the non-sporty as it combines a gentle walk in nature together with a fun and family friendly game for all.

The tropical garden course twists and turns under the coconut palms and mango trees and through the jungle setting, giving many surprises and much variety as you play. Every hole is a different experience and the course is also well shaded, being home to over 350 species of tropical plants.

The mix of lots of shared fun, a nice stroll and some friendly competition included too is hard to top and unlike other activities on the island which are done individually, this is good old-fashioned group fun. It gets you, your family and friends playing, laughing and enjoying the holiday fun together.

The course is easy to reach, located on the beach road 10 minutes North from the main resort town of Chaweng and 5 minutes from the Big Buddha statue.
