Phuket is home to a number of excellent golf courses, all of which were created to take advantage of the island’s tropical environment and unique topography. Many guests come simply to play golf on these lushly designed courses, which take full advantage of the abundant water and trees in the area. Many of the courses and hotels in the area ensure that accompanying family members are rarely left to relax by the pool or on the beach.
The standards are of the highest in Thailand, ensuring that the greens are always in good condition and that the holes are hard enough to challenge both new and expert golfers. Some of the courses on this list have even hosted international contests or world championships.
Here’s are top 3 best golf courses in Phuket:
1. Red Mountain Golf Club
Red Mountain Golf Club is located in Phuket’s Kathu area on the site of a former tin mine, right adjacent to its sister golf course, Loch Palm Golf Club, and has quickly established itself as one of the island’s most popular courses. The terrain of Red Mountain, which is made up of red soil, granite rocks, hills, and vegetation, has a mesa-like look.
From Phuket Town and Patong Beach, the golf course is about 15 minutes away by vehicle. The 18-hole course, which spans 224 acres and measures 6,781 yards in length, is a par 72. The clubhouse is a contemporary structure with a café terrace that overlooks the beautiful natural surroundings and two of the 18 holes.
2. Blue Canyon Country Club
The ‘Canyon Course’ and the ‘Lake Course’ are located on 730 acres of land in a picturesque valley overlooking Phuket’s famed hills at Blue Canyon Country Club.
In 1994 and 1998, the country club hosted the Johnnie Walker Classics, as well as the Honda Invitational in 1996. The ‘Canyon Course’ has earned numerous international honors, including ‘Asian & Pacific Golf Course of the Year 1999’ (Hertz International Golf Travel Awards) and the ‘Top 500 Best Holes in the World’ for its (par 3) 7th hole. The ‘Lakes Course’ adds a unique dimension to the game, featuring water hazards on 17 of the 18 holes. The 18th hole is regarded as one of the greatest in the area.
3. Laguna Phuket Golf Club
The Laguna Phuket Golf Club, formerly known as Banyan Tree Golf Club, is a resort-style 18-hole golf course located within the Laguna Phuket complex. This par 71 course, located on the secluded Bang Tao Bay on Phuket Island’s western side, measures 6,850 yards from the championship tees.

My wife and I booked a golf weekend to Yogyakarta (Indonesia). We wanted to play golf and visit the historic (UNESCO) temples. Golfasian created a custom tour package for us. All we had to do was show up at the airport. Everything else was taken care of. Very professional. We were able to relax, play 2 different courses (Merapi and Borobudur) and visited the Prambanan and Borobudur temples. We are already looking to use Golfasian for our next golf weekend getaway.

We just returned from a 15 day golf and cultural tour of Thailand. the golf courses were superb and the tours interesting and informative. Golf Asian was on top of things when our flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok was delayed and we were met by our driver with no problem. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Just returned from Thailand on a 10 day golf trip booked through Golf Asian. Booked the entire trip online through email, without even talking to a live person.
We arrived in BKK and the entire trip went smooth. Great hotels, great courses, great van drivers.
Thanks for a great holiday.
