Phuket Golf Courses
Blue Canyon Country Club
Recognized as one of the best courses in the region, the Blue Canyon Country Club comprises two 18-hole championship courses; the award-winning Canyon Course and the spectacular Lakes Course. Both courses are moulded around existing canyons that were originally an old tin mine, with the canyons created by open cast mining now filled to create the courses' many lakes.
The Canyon Course has played host to a number of international tournaments, including the 1994 and 1998 Johnnie Walker Classics, one of the most prestigious events in the region. There are a total of 87 sand traps guarding the greens and fairways. This is the course to play if you want to try the biggest challenge golfing in Phuket has to offer. Greg Norman holds the course record with a tournament round of 64.
The Lakes Course was opened in 1999 and is aimed at a broader range of golfers. As the name suggests, water comes into play a lot. There are five tees and 34 bunkers. The back nine weaves its way through a former rubber plantation.
