Golf in Phuket is a great experience for those wanting to combine their holiday with relaxation at some of the world’s best beaches. Phuket is known internationally as one of the most exotic destinations in Southeast Asia. With its endless white beaches, cooling blue lagoons and tropical mountainous interior, it provides a stunning and ideal backdrop for a golf holiday. From basic beach front bungalows, to stunning world-class resort hotels with sumptuous spa facilities, Phuket offers a variation in accommodation to meet all levels of budget.
There are now 7 championship 18 hole golf courses available to choose from. Golf in Phuket first grabbed the world’s attention in 1994, when the Canyon Course of the Blue Canyon Country Club was chosen to host the Johnnie Walker Classic. It is now one of the recognized world’s greatest championship golf courses, regularly visited by top international players. There is plenty of variation in the styles and challenges presented by each course, ensuring that all levels of golfers are catered for.
