## Editorial notes

The Els Club Teluk Datai is an Ernie Els-designed 18-hole championship course on Jalan Teluk Datai, set between million-year-old rainforest and Andaman Sea holes. The bunkerless Rainforest Course relies on tree lines, a meandering stream and coastal views, with Hornbill Café, Els Lounge, practice facilities and Troon Golf operations supporting visitor rounds.

## 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.
