Loch
Palm Golf Club & Red Mountain Golf Course:
Loch
Palm: The Most Relaxing golf course in Phuket, Thailand Located in Kathu District just 7 kms. from Phuket Town and Patong Beach, about 15
minutes from Patong.
Nestling below a panoramic range of peaks, and sandwiched between the
Katu Waterfalls and Katu Village the layout surrounds the largest lake
on any golf course in Phuket, Crystal Lake, 48 acres in size, and its
smaller sister lake, which give golfers a refreshing breeze off the
water.
This is an 18 holes course par 72, 6,555 yards palm tree-lined beauty,
recently completed major re-designs and multi-million dollar upgrades.
The course is in great shape. It is a very good layout and one that is
beginning to rival some of the best layouts on the island as the
refurbishment matures. You are required to put your thinking cap on
and keep perfect control of your game on this tightly routed layout.
Red Mountain:
This brand new 18-hole course is Loch Palm’s sister course.
Winding its way through a truly dramatic 1400 rai former tin mine site
in the heart of Phuket, Red Mountain is surely one of Asia’s most
exciting new courses. The course has been cleverly routed to take
advantage of a huge variety of landforms and dizzying elevation
changes. Scars left from the tin mine era have been imaginatively
incorporated into the overall scheme, creating a unique character at
the same time as establishing an indelible link with an important era
in the Island’s past.
Designer Jon Morrow, has created a highly strategic and challenging
6,900 yard lay out to complement the shorter and gentler old Loch Palm
Course. While the course is undoubtedly challenging, numerous risk and
reward options create a fun playing environment, an exhilarating test
of golf and a breathtaking scenic tour around a course destined to
become a golfing landmark in the region.
Laguna Phuket Golf Club:
Voted Top Ten for
Best Golf Resort in Asia , Best Clubhouse in Asia and Best Golf
Courses in Thailand by readers of Asian Golf Monthly magazine, Laguna
Phuket Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-71 resort course, designed by Max
Wexler and David Abell, which challenges golfing enthusiasts of all
abilities. Measuring 6,654 yards from the back tees and 5,464 yards
from the front tees, the course features a wealth of scenic lagoons,
coconut groves and undulating fairways, set against the dramatic
backdrop of the surrounding mountains and Andaman Sea.
Meandering
through the labyrinth of lagoons, the course requires golfers to play
with great accuracy, and to select clubs carefully. Water looms on 13
of the 18 holes and threatens to swallow any shot veering too far to
the side. On several holes, adventurous long hitters will certainly
enjoy taking a rewarding gamble by cutting corners, while on other
holes, strategic iron play is a must!
