 Blue
Canyon Country Club:
At the northern end of
Phuket, is recognized as being the most exclusive golfing establishment
in the region. It is surrounded by freshwater lakes and has
facilities to match any of the world's leading golf resorts.
Host to the Johnnie Walker Classic in 1998, this championship
course features many natural hazards, multiple tees, narrow
landing areas, rolling fairways and well guarded greens. Signature
hole number 13 the 'Canyon' and the 'Island' par three 14th
are memorable. At the 13th a huge drive is needed to clear the
'Canyon' and at 14, a par three, players hit from an elevated
tee and must hit a perfect tee shot in order to land on the
island green. The huge and opulent clubhouse affords magnificent
view of the golf course and has every facility.

Banyan Tree Club
and Dusit Laguna:
A Championship 18-hole golf course located within the
Laguna Development, this par 71 layout offers sweeping views
of the Andaman Sea and is cradled within a surrounding mountain
range. Carved out of the existing sand hills, the par 36 front
nine meanders through a once flourishing coconut plantation.
Players must be exact on their tee shots, as water comes into
play on five holes.
The back nine features water on eight
holes. Of the three par threes, the 11th hole, though only 137
yards from the men's tee, will leave a lasting impression. The
back to back par fives at the 17th and 18th create an unusual
finish.
The clubhouse and hotel facilities are of the highest
standard.

Phuket Country Club:
Set on undulating terrain, created from a former tin mine, every
hole of the first 18-hole layout provides a different playing
experience. The 557-yard, par-5, 10th hole on the Old Course
is one of the most unusual holes. A dog-leg right that snakes
around an enormous lake, the pin is reachable in one!
To achieve it, one must aim 90 degrees right of the fairway
and be able to carry the shot 240 yards over water. The Country
Club Course is a nine-hole layout for low-handicap golfers.
This course is not easy as wayward shorts are penalised either
by the water hazards or OBs. |

Loch Palm
Golf Club Phuket:
Designed by Thailand's foremost golf architect, Dr. Sukitti
Klangvisai, golfers playing here are in for an unusual experience.
Nestled within majestic hills covered by dense vegetation, golfers
get to play against a scenic backdrop enhanced by cooling breezes.
The fairways surround the 48-acre Crystal Lake and its 12-acre
sister lake. Great accuracy is called for from the tee, particularly
on the first, ninth, tenth, twelfth and fourteenth, which all
dog-leg around the lakeside. The course is only about eight
kilometers from Phuket city, so there is no shortage of accommodations. |

golf within a unique environment. The mini golf course is 18

each hole blending with the theme and offering a different and
exciting view of the prehistoric world. Players will play beside
a primeval swamp, in a lava cave, beside a moving and roaring
Tyrannosaurus Rex, under a 12 meter waterfall and beneath an
erupting volcano - all with special lighting and sound effects.
The mini golf has a capacity of 60 pax on one round of about
40 minutes. Clients who don’t wish to play golf can still enjoy
the excitement of Dino Park while taking photos for a lasting
memory of their holiday.
