Whether you are coming to Phuket on a dedicated golf holiday or you are visiting here with the family and fancy a few rounds in between, playing the best courses on the island is the desire of most golfers. Although there are 9 courses across the island, we don’t always have enough time to play them all. Please see 3 Phuket golf courses you must play when holidaying in this beautiful part of the world.
#1 – Red Mountain Country Club
It’s been debatable for a while now as to whether the best course on the island is the Canyon Course at Blue Canyon or if the newer Red Mountain at Kathu is the best. Located near to the Loch Palm course, Red Mountain has become one of the most talked about courses in Asia since its launch almost 5 years ago.

Constructed on an old tin mine, which was Phuket’s main source of income a couple of hundred years ago, the views are spectacular, weaving its way through red mountains, with high elevation tee locations. The course is stunning and the facilities are world class. What is there not to like?
#2 – Blue Canyon Course
The Canyon Course at Blue Canyon has long been the standard bearer for 5-star golf in Phuket, and is easily the most famous course on the island, and one of the highest rated in Thailand. The course has hosted many Asian tour events with golfers such as Tiger Woods, Freddie Couples, Ernie Els, Greg Norman and many more gracing its fairways. The Canyon Course, known for its dramatic holes utilizing the canyon, is a challenge and a fantastic experience for any golfer across the world.

#3 – Loch Palm GC
Many people will believe that the Lakes Course at Blue Canyon is the 3rd choice on the island, but we disagree. Loch Palm at Kathu really personifies that special tropical golf environment we come to associate with Thailand. With many of the holes centered on the stunning Crystal Lake, the use of sand traps, palm trees and water hazards make it a tough challenge if you are not hitting the ball well. The course is always in great condition, and with the backdrop of the mountains, it really is a picturesque course as well.
