Where to play golf in Phuket
Phuket is known worldwide as one of the most popular destinations in Southeast Asia. With its sandy beaches, refreshing waters and exotic mountains, it is an idyllic backdrop for those who are tempted by a round of golf in Phuket.
Blue Canyon Country Club
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.

Continue your golfing journey
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.
Phuket Country Club
Located between Phuket Town and Patong Beach, you will find the Phuket Country Club. Created in 1989, it is the oldest golf course in Phuket. This 27-hole golf course is actually made up of two courses, on one side, the Country Club Course, a 9-hole, par 37 of 3 270 meters and on the other, the Old Course of 18 holes, par 72 of 5 928 meters.
Its signature hole, n°10, a par 5 of 510 meters, is one of the most surprising holes you will ever see. It is a straight dog leg that winds around a large lake and a one-shot green. To make it, you'll have to aim 90 degrees to the right of the fairway and carry your ball 220 metres above the water. Fill up with balls before you start, you may need them.
