Golf must be a total experience!
The greens must be in good shape and the layout exciting on the course you are playing. Enough of challenging golf holes, so you don´t forget the course as - One among the others…..

On Phuket you will get it all!

You have 7 Golf courses on Phuket and all off them are in an excellent condition. Loch Palm,Red Mountain, Blue Canyon (2 courses), Laguna Golf Resort,Mission Hills and Phuket Golf & Country Club. My two favourites are Blue Canyon and Mission Hills .

Mission Hills (designed by Jack Nicklaus) nestled amongst a coastal mangrove forest and rubber plantations.

Blue Canyon (Canyon Course) is at the moment the no.1 choice for golfers visiting Phuket. As Fred Couples
said "17th is one of the best par 3 in the world.

From the apartment, it´s only a 15 to 40min drive to these to great experiences.

The average greenfee on the islands 7 courses is between 2.500 baht to 4.500 baht. I strongly recommend that you play early in the morning and that you bring a lot of water.

It is mandatory on all golf courses to rent a caddie (female) when you play. You pay the caddie about 200-300 Baht and it´s normal to pay a tip of about an extra 200 Baht. Unless you make a hole in one. Then there will be Champagne for everyone!

I wish you wonderful days of Golf, and don´t forget that the greens might be faster than you are used to.
