U
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.

U
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.

U
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.

U
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.

Dino Park (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
dont wish to play golf can still enjoy the
excitement of Dino Park while taking photos
for a lasting memory of their holiday. |
