Built in 1991 to a design by Yoshikazo Kato, the Blue Canyon Country Club is situated just South of the airport, about 50 minutes from Patong and is renowned as one of the most beautiful and prestigious courses in Asia. The club was chosen in 1994 and 1998 as the host venue for The Johnnie Walker classic, Thailand's leading golf tournament, as well as the Honda Classic in 1996. There are two courses, the Canyon Course and the new Lakes Course.

Canyon Course

For the Canyon Course, the designer took full advantage of the landscape to create a world-class championship course of outstanding natural beauty, which represents a challenge to all standards of players. Natural hazards such as lakes, trees, well guarded fast greens, narrow landing areas and skillfully placed bunkers reward accuracy and make each hole uniquely memorable, with the signature "Canyon" holes being particularly spectacular. The choice of 5 teeing grounds allows the course to be played from 7,119 yards from the back tees to a comfortable 5,974 yards off the forward tees, offering sensible options for players of all levels.

Probably the most famous of the course's holes is the par three 14th hole, which demands a perfect tee shot onto an island green

Lakes Course

The comparatively new Lakes Course, with its panoramic views of the nearby mountains, presents golfers with a contrasting challenge. Its undulating fairways and long water-carries reward the bigger hitters. As one would expect, the clubhouse is large and luxurious and offers stunning views over the courses.

For those wanting to improve their game, The Blue Canyon Golf School offers the perfect golfing retreat, with internationally reputed management and service standards one can only find in the exotic surrounds of Thailand.

The first Gary Player Golf Academy in Asia was opened at Blue Canyon in 1994. Since it opened in late 1991, the Canyon Course has welcomed world-ranked players, such as Tiger Woods, Greg Norman and Ernie Els.
