Golf - tours  

Located roughly 15 minutes from Phuket Town, the 11 year-old Phuket Country Club has two courses and is built on the site of a former tin mine.

The Old Course

The Old Course provides a strenuous resort 18 hole, 6,483 yards, par 72 golf game. The 10th hole is one of the most unusual you will find anywhere: a 557 yards par 5 that snakes around an enormous lake, with the green being reachable in one! To achieve this feat, you must aim 90 degrees right of the fairway - and be able to carry your drive 240 yards over the water (see Hole 10 on the course layout).

The course is fun and friendly, set in a valley with the fairways meandering through the hills and limestone cliffs. During a round you traverse three distinct environments: six holes in undulating hills, six on the level, and six through landscaped forest.

It is generally not humiliating or intimidating (depending on your temperament, of course) and wayward shots are not penalised too severely. Although high handicappers can have the best round of their life and keep coming back for more, low handicap players can still find the course quite a challenge.

The Country Club Course

The newer Country Club Course is a challenging 3,575 yards (championship tees), par 37, 9-hole course, which is particularly suitable for lower handicap golfers. The picturesque beauty of the scenery and layout somewhat softens the difficulty of the course but watch out for those wayward shots, as all are penalised by landing either in water or out of bounds. However, with five tee-boxes at each hole, you have the choice of making it less of an ordeal.

Water is a common feature and it comes into play about 90% of the time. Black swans glide amongst the water lillies, taking very little heed of your slices.

Both Phuket Country Club courses were designed by the renowned Thai architect, Dr, Sukitti Klang Vishai.
