Koh Chang Pitch and Putt Golf Course gains official recognition from FIPPA

The organisation is based in Ireland where the game retains wide popularity and is not only a precursor to people taking up golf, but seen as a sport in its own right.

FIPPA organises a number of international competitions including the Pitch and Putt World Cup, a World Strokeplay Championship, European Championships and a World Interclub League. In addition, International Pitch and Putt Open events are held in countries as far afield as Andorra, Norway and China.

The official recognition of Siam Royal View’s Koh Chang pitch and putt course as FIPPA’s ‘Course of the Month’ is reward for the company’s efforts to create a state-of-the-art facility on the island. Few courses in the world can rival the course’s beautiful setting amidst a salt water lagoon.

The course is set over nine holes which can be played in both directions. The holes reverse daily at lunchtime to give players the opportunity to enjoy 18 unique holes. The first nine holes, dubbed the Chang Noi nine, play over 554 yards (507m) and the Half Moon Nine, a little longer at 571 yards (523m).
