Phuket has four fine golf courses, all of which have been designed to take full advantage of the island's tropical trees and abundant water. Many visitors come solely for golf, but accompanying family members rarely complain about being left to laze by the pool or on the beach.

Standards are high and there are enough challenges to stretch scratch players (the Blue Canyon Country Club hosted both the 1994 Johnnie Walker Classic Golf Tournament, the Honda Invitational tournament and the 1998 Johnnie Walker Classic).

Loch Palm Golf Club spreads over a lush, rolling 400 rai (160 acres) hilly plateau. This 18-hole, par 72 course has been masterfully designed to blend beautifully with the natural terrain. Nestled below a panoramic range of peaks, the layout surrounds the largest lake on any golf course in Phuket, Crystal Lake. With more than 1,400 towering palms lining the fairways, you'll find yourself playing in the midst of serene surroundings that harbour many challenging hazards amid its lush greens.

Phuket Country Club established in 1989, is the first and one of the finest golf courses built in Phuket, and lies on a reclaimed tin mine site. The stunning beauty and elegance of the course, together with the typical Thai charm and hospitality will make your golfing joyful and memorable. A 9 hole course is also available here.
