The Royal Gems Golf City

Royal Gems Golf City

Royal Gems Golf City is Asia's first replica course and combines nine of the best holes in the world with the back nine of Augusta National Golf Club. The course designers have created an extreme challenge with dramatic elevation changes from what was previously flattish farmland just outside Bangkok.

Stepping onto the first tee can transport you not just to holes you've never played, but to holes you wish you could. Imagine teeing off at Oakmont's #3 with the famous church pew bunkers to your left. Then step up to Royal Gems Golf City's #2 - A replica of the narrow fairway curving around the water on the par-5 sixth hole at Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Florida. It brings risk-reward drama, with an emphasis on risk.

Next, head out for Royal Gems Golf City's #3 - A recreation of the famous island green 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass. While it loses some of its drama by being shoehorned into the middle of Bangkok, you'll still see a steady parade of intimidated golfers hitting tee shots into the water. Go on to play such greats at the Road Hole at St. Andrews, the Postage Stamp from Royal Troon in Scotland, and The Belfry from West Midlands, UK. After finishing these famous holes, don't relax!

The back nine from Augusta National Golf Club, including Amen Corner, awaits. In fact, the back nine at Royal Gems Golf City's Amen Corner closely mimics the length, elevation, and design of the original holes, even taking into account the toughening of Augusta National in recent years.

Playing replicas of 18 of the world's top golf holes can make for a taxing day. However, add knowledgeable Thai caddies and a great clubhouse to these already renowned golf holes and you've got the makings of a day out on the golf course that might even be better than the original from which it has been inspired.

Yes, it is all true. Famous golf holes have come to Bangkok, Thailand at the Royal Gems Golf City Dream Area!
