The experience
Rainforest golf above Datai Bay
A scenic 18-hole stop for golf travellers based around Teluk Datai’s quiet northwest coast.
The Rainforest Course is the headline experience: no bunkers, cart-friendly fairways and a handful of holes that open to the Andaman Sea with Mat Chinchang as backdrop.
Visitor logistics run through the golf shop — published green-fee packages include insurance and a shared cart, with caddie fees separate. Practice at the grassed range and short-game areas before your round.
Non-golfers in the same group can use Hornbill Café and Els Lounge timing around tee sheets, then continue to nearby Datai Bay resorts for the rest of the day.
