Phuket Golf
|
|
Golf is very popular in Thailand and Phuket offers some of the best golf courses in the Kingdom - and for the fun players some mini golf courses are also available. |
| |
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 |
|
| |
|
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. |
|
| |
|
Mini Golf |
|
|
|
Dino Park |
|
| |
|
offers the opportunity to play mini golf within a unique environment.
The mini golf course is 18 holes and features authentic scale replicas
of prehistoric creatures, 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. |
