Phuket

BLUE CANYON COUNTRY CLUB | CANYON COURSE
Blue Canyon Country Club is a renowned golf course in Phuket, just 5 minutes from Phuket International Airport. It’s a favorite among both Thai and international golfers, famous for hosting championship-level tournaments like the Johnnie Walker Classic, where Tiger Woods competed. The club offers two courses: the Canyon Course and the Lake Course.
Legendary holes await golfers, including Hole 13, Par 4, known as “The Tiger Hole,” where Tiger Woods made a “One On” with a 320-yard shot over a canyon and trees from the Black Tee during the 1998 Johnnie Walker Classic. Another highlight is Hole 17, Par 3, stretching 230 yards over a canyon, which has been described by former world number one Fred Couples as “one of the best par 3s in the world.”

BLUE CANYON COUNTRY CLUB | LAKE COURSE
The signature hole here is Hole 18, which was ranked as one of the best Par 4s in Asia by Asian Golf Monthly in 2003. The main challenges are water hazards and deceptively placed bunkers, offering a tough and exciting experience for golfers.

LOCH PALM GOLF CLUB
This 18-hole, Par 72 course covers about 500 rai (approximately 200 acres) and is designed to resemble a valley, with depths of around 10 meters. The course is distinguished by its long rows of lush palm trees and panoramic mountain views.
The signature hole is Hole 14, Par 3, offering stunning views and surrounded by water, creating an exhilarating challenge for golfers.

RED MOUNTAIN GOLF CLUB PHUKET
Red Mountain is unique as it is built on a former tin mine, featuring natural surroundings with striking red mountain views, beautiful lakes, and lush forests.
The signature hole is Hole 16, Par 4, at 301 yards. This is the highest Tee-Off point in Phuket, providing breathtaking views of Phuket Bay and challenging left and right cliff hazards. Hole 17, Par 3, at 169 yards, is one of the most talked-about holes, where golfers must Tee-Off directly down to the green from a height of 40 meters, requiring precise distance calculation.

LAGUNA GOLF PHUKET
Located within the Laguna Phuket resort complex, this 18-hole, Par 71, 6,756-yard course features undulating fairways and scenic lakes, contrasting beautifully with the lush green fairways.
The signature hole is Hole 17, Par 5, at 612 yards. Known as one of the most challenging finishing holes in Phuket, golfers must hit over water three times to reach the green, making it a true test of skill and endurance.

Phang Nga

• AQUELLA GOLF COUNTRY CLUB
  Aquella Golf & Country Club is an 18-hole, 7,000-yard, Par 72 championship course at the heart of the 1,075-rai Aquella project. The course is known for its challenging layout, old railway sleeper bunkers, and tricky, fast greens.
  The signature hole is Hole 11, Par 3, offering stunning views and a cool breeze from the Andaman Sea. Although relatively short at 161 yards, the large bunkers and steep slope behind the green demand precise shots.
  
• KATATHONG GOLF RESORT AND SPA
  Set in the heart of Phang Nga’s mountains, Katathong is a favorite for nature-loving golfers, offering beautiful mountain views from every angle. The course features rolling hills, sand traps, and natural reservoirs, creating both a challenging and peaceful environment.
  The signature hole is Hole 10, Par 3, at 213 yards, where golfers must hit down to a green surrounded by water. Another standout is Hole 17, Par 3, at 178 yards, where players must hit up to a green 10 meters above, making it a particularly challenging hole. Hole 18, Par 4, at 475 yards, presents a narrow fairway bordered by water hazards from Tee-Off to the green.

Krabi

• HULA HULA GOLF CLUB
  Located near Krabi Airport and Krabi town, Hula Hula Golf Club is a 9-hole course with two tee-off areas, making it effectively an 18-hole course. The course layout is designed to challenge golfers from the first shot, with water hazards, trees, sand traps, and optical illusions. Some holes appear straightforward but have subtle doglegs to the left or right. However, if golfers can place their first shot well, the subsequent shots may be easier, making this course suitable for players of all skill levels.
  The signature hole is Hole 7, at 335 yards, where golfers will see the iconic Tiger Cave Temple pagoda in the distance. The fairway appears like an island in the water, and from the Blue Tee, players must hit a straight shot across 205 yards of water and ensure their ball doesn’t go beyond 260 yards to stay on the fairway.
  
• PAKASAI COUNTRY CLUB
  Pakasai Country Club is a scenic and affordable 18-hole, Par 72 course, located about 35 minutes from Ao Nang in Krabi.
