Play Golf in Phuket

Located a stone's throw from Phuket International Airport, the Blue Canyon Country Club was founded in 1991. Phuket's mining past has given way to water obstacles and valleys which bring difficulty and technicality to the course.
Today it is one of the most famous golf courses in the world, regularly visited by high level players. It hosted the Johnnie Walker Classic, of which Tiger Woods even won a round in 1998. There are two 18-hole courses.

On the Canyon Course championship course, par 72 of 6,565 metres, hole 17, a par 3, has been designated among the 500 best holes in the world. The Lakes Course, a par 72 of 6,519 meters, is a little simpler and has numerous water hazards since 17 of the 18 holes have one.

As you continue your golfing journey to the south of the island, you will find some unbelievable playgrounds, starting with Laguna Phuket, which is located near the Bang Tao Bay, along the Andaman Sea. It offers 18 holes, par 71 of 6,189 meters long. The beginner golfers will find the greens big and welcoming to their taste. The challenge resides in the last two holes, both par 5 of almost 600 meters long.

The Loch Palm Golf Club, an 18-hole, par 72 of 5,790 meters, is a charming course ideally located a few minutes by car from Phuket city and Patong beach. It is accessible to all. The main attraction of this very rugged course is Crystal Lake, the largest water lake for a golf course in Phuket. The first holes border the lake, while the last nine holes are played close to the hills. Hole 14 is a par 3 downhill to the green surrounded by water on three sides and requires high dexterity.

Then go on to perfect your swing at the Red Mountain Golf Club, an 18-hole, par 72 of 6,400 metres, located in Kathu. It's named after the ochre rocks found all around the fairways.
