Samui Football Golf: 750 THB, 18 Holes, Open Daily 9:00-18:30

Overview

Samui Football Golf is an 18-hole footgolf course in a botanical garden on the Bo Phut side of Koh Samui: 750 THB (~21 USD) for adults, 350 THB (~10 USD) for children, open daily 9:00-18:30, about 90 minutes a round. It is a few minutes from Big Buddha and about 10 minutes from Chaweng. The operator says it opened in 2005 and calls itself Asia’s first footgolf course. Footgolf means kicking a football into an oversized hole instead of putting with a club, so no golf skill is needed.

Key takeaways

• 18 holes, par 71 (course record 54 per the venue), set among 350+ tropical plant species.
• Walk-in: 750 THB adults, 350 THB children 5-11, 100 THB spectators, including a soft drink, ball and shoes if needed.
• Open daily 9:00-18:30; a round takes about 90 minutes.
• Hotel transfers cost roughly 100-300 THB more per adult depending on the zone. Book at least 12 hours ahead if you want one.
• It is footgolf, not golf: for real golf see the golf guide.

Key Facts

How Footgolf Works and What the Course Is Like

Players kick the ball into the hole in as few kicks as possible, and the lowest score wins, exactly as in golf. The 18-hole, par 71 course covers about 1.2 km and threads through a botanical garden of more than 350 tropical plant species: coconut palms, flowering shrubs and water features rather than open fairway. The venue lists a course record of 54. Plan on about 90 minutes at a relaxed pace.

Footballs and shoes are included if you need them, and smaller futsal-sized balls are provided for children. The same format suits stag and hen groups, birthdays and corporate team-building, which the venue sells as group events. A sunny afternoon round is hot, so go early or late in the day and bring water, even though a soft drink is included.

Tickets and Prices

Walk-in rates below come from samuifootballgolf.com (checked 1 October 2026). Tickets cost the same whether you book ahead or turn up, and there is no deposit.

Each player gets one soft drink, a ball and shoes if needed. Spectators who only watch pay the lower fee, which helps with groups where not everyone wants to play.

Booking and Hotel Transfers

You can walk in, but the venue asks for bookings at least 12 hours ahead and says free cancellation applies up to 1 hour before pickup. For last-minute questions call +66 89 771 7498. Transfers are sold as a round-trip add-on, priced by where your hotel is:

These are the venue’s own all-in prices (ticket plus transfer). Confirm the figure for your hotel when you book. Third-party sites such as Trip.com list the course as “Samui Disc Golf & Football Golf” and resell tickets; the operator’s own site is the reference for what a ticket includes.

Getting There

The course is on the Bo Phut beach road, a few minutes from Big Buddha (Wat Phra Yai) and about 10 minutes from Chaweng by the venue’s own estimate. It publishes no distance from Samui Airport. If you drive or ride yourself, follow the Google Maps pin in the table above and confirm the turn by phone, since the venue’s site gives only a general Bo Phut address. A taxi is easy from Chaweng, Bophut or Choeng Mon; see the taxi, Grab and Bolt guide for fares and apps.

Is Samui Football Golf Worth It?

Yes for families, groups and anyone who wants a short, cheap garden activity: 750 THB for about 90 minutes with a drink included costs a fraction of a round at Santiburi Samui Country Club, and a child ticket is under half the adult price. It also works as a half-day filler between rain showers.

It is not for people who want a real golf course, and the afternoon heat can make 18 holes tiring. The venue publishes no precise map entrance, so first-time visitors should confirm the route by phone or map app.

Nearby

Bophut Beach and its Fisherman’s Village dining strip are a short drive away, and Bang Rak Beach, the ferry hub for Koh Phangan, is on the same stretch of coast. For accommodation, Choeng Mon is the closest resort cluster, about 10 minutes away. The course also appears in the island’s golf guide, alongside Santiburi, and in the 25 best things to do. On a wet day, see the rainy day plan and family activities guide for alternatives.

Planning a half day around it

A round takes about 90 minutes, so it pairs easily with other stops in this corner of the island. Big Buddha is free and open about 7:00-18:30 (some listings say from 6:00), which makes a late-afternoon footgolf round followed by the temple at golden hour an easy plan. In the evening, Fisherman’s Village Walking Street in Bophut runs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with Friday the biggest. The photos in this page’s gallery show the course, the mascot at hole 1 and the garden setting, so you know what to expect before you go.
