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. |
