Mission Hills Phuket Golf Resort offers a captivating golfing experience with its Jack Nicklaus-designed course set against the stunning backdrop of the Andaman Sea. Nestled among mangrove forests on Phuket's scenic northeast coast, this course provides breathtaking ocean views from nearly every hole, including several that play directly over the sea.
The course features large white sand bunkers that beautifully contrast with the vibrant greens of Bermuda grass fairways and Paspalum Sea Isle 2000 greens. Water hazards are a strategic part of the design, coming into play on seven holes, while the prevailing sea breezes add an extra layer of challenge.
Among the standout holes is the par-5 2nd, requiring precision to reach the island green. The 4th hole, a par-3, offers spectacular ocean vistas, while the par-4 5th challenges golfers with its island tee and green. The signature 12th hole, a 481-yard par-4, demands powerful, accurate shots to navigate the lake and hollow guarding the green.
Playing conditions are consistently maintained, with individual golf carts available for ease. After your round, enjoy the first-class service at the resort's spa and clubhouse restaurant, making Mission Hills a comprehensive Phuket golfing destination.
Blue Canyon Country Club's Lakes Course offers a compelling golfing experience on the northern end of Phuket Island, conveniently located near the airport. This course is designed to accommodate a wide range of skill levels, featuring five sets of tees for both professionals and amateurs. Its layout skillfully incorporates the natural landscape, with the front nine winding through lakes and canyons, and the back nine nestled among rubber trees.
The Lakes Course challenges players to maintain precision, as accurate drives are crucial for navigating the fairways and reaching greens in regulation. Approach shots often require crossing creeks and canyons, demanding strategic play. The signature 18th hole, a long par-4, is renowned throughout Thailand for its challenge and beauty. While long hitters may attempt the green in two, most players will find it wise to lay up short of the green, avoiding the jungle that guards its approach.
Following a comprehensive renovation in 2006, the Lakes Course stands as a worthy counterpart to the famed Canyon Course, offering fewer blind shots and a straightforward test of skill. Golf carts are included, enhancing the experience for holiday golfers. While facilities may show some age, they remain functional, and the experienced caddies contribute to an enjoyable round with their expertise and humor.
Laguna Golf Phuket offers a thoughtfully designed course set against the stunning backdrop of the Andaman Sea. Redesigned in 2014, this course provides a strategic challenge, requiring golfers to make calculated decisions on each hole. The layout features a diverse array of holes, with the front nine navigating natural water bodies and the back nine weaving through mature trees, all framed by the lush tropical landscape.
The course is known for its excellent playing surfaces, with undulating fairways that demand precise ball placement for optimal scoring. While wide fairways may seem forgiving, strategic positioning is key to conquering the subtle complexities of the terrain. The course's design integrates natural elements, such as overhanging trees and strategically placed bunkers, to enhance the challenge.
Golfers will find the final two holes particularly demanding, with the 612-yard 17th requiring multiple water crossings, and the picturesque par-4 18th offering a rewarding birdie opportunity with a well-executed shot. Complementing the course, Laguna Golf Phuket provides extensive practice facilities, including a driving range and putting greens, ensuring players can hone their skills before teeing off.
The clubhouse features a restaurant with a full bar, ideal for relaxing post-round. Conveniently located in the Laguna area, the course offers easy access to luxury resorts and the island's attractions, making it an excellent choice for a memorable golf holiday in Phuket.

The course features a mix of large and small greens with subtle to wild contours, all covered in smooth Bermuda grass. Fairways and tees are lush with Seashore Paspalum, ensuring a premium playing surface. The design incorporates natural elements, with native grasses preserved in rough areas, enhancing the course's rugged charm. The final six holes are particularly memorable, offering breathtaking views and strategic challenges, including the dramatic par-3 17th and the downhill par-5 that demands precise shot placement.
Conveniently located in the heart of Phuket, Red Mountain Golf Club is just a short drive from popular beaches like Patong and Karon, making it easily accessible for visitors.
