Before I lived in Phuket full-time, one of the main reasons I would visit the island is to play golf. It was a great place to get away for a few days, or when I had more time off from work, a couple of weeks. If you are sat at home now trying to decide where to book your next golf holiday, I would like to share with you what I liked most about visiting Phuket to play golf.
Caddies and hospitality
I am from the UK, so carrying our own clubs around the course is standard. It can be a lonely and desolate game if you don't have a playing partner, and that's why I love playing golf in Phuket. To play all the courses on the island, you need a caddy who carries your clubs, cleans your balls, gives you solid advice regarding yardage and putting slopes while at the same time providing you with company.

The hospitality of Phuket golf courses is world-class. From the gracious staff and the course facilities that have restaurants, changing rooms, swimming pools, and even spas in some cases, the caddies and hospitality on Phuket courses is unparalleled.
The variety of courses
The choice of courses is also something I really like. If I just want to play 9-holes, I can visit Phunaka GC. If I am looking for a challenge, the island's two championship courses, Red Mountain and the Canyon Course at Blue Canyon CC are world-class. There are also a host of other courses that make up the middle ground such as Phuket Country Club, Laguna Phuket GC and Mission Hills Phuket. There is something for every person and mood.

Lots of things to do at night
A golf holiday for me is nothing if I don't have things to do when I am not playing. Phuket has a hedonistic array of nightlife charms with lots of bars, clubs and restaurants right across the island, but mainly in Patong, Kata, Karon, Kamala, Surin and Raawi. Because Phuket is such a popular world-class holiday destination, there are lots of things to do day or night when not playing golf.
