Phuket Country Club

The Phuket Country Club is situated between Phuket City and Patong Beach. Here, golfers will find a 27-hole facility as well as a spacious driving range with 52 tees. The course opened its doors in 1989; at that time, it was the first championship 18-hole facility on Phuket. It is located in a valley, and meanders over small hills, past sandstone cliffs and trees. There are three different types of terrain: six holes of the championship course stretch out over a hilly landscape, six are relatively flat, and the last six run through a handsome forest. The golf facilities offer players with low handicaps, as well as inexperienced players, a diverse, challenging, and enjoyable round. The 10th hole is one of the most difficult holes, which leads golfers from an elevated tee around a large pond, in a U-shape. Longhitters can attempt to hit a hole-in-one by driving the ball across the pond: great success, or a dip in the cool blue water, awaits. The 9-hole course is younger, located between the two other, older nines. This course is very well-suited for beginning golfers. The Phuket Country Club has hosted a number of larger tournaments such as the Phuket Asian Senior Masters 2006 and 2008, as well as the TGA Junior Golf Thailand Regional Championship Challenge 2010. The facilities are located in the middle of the island. At Phuket Country Club, you will find a pro shop as well as a restaurant.
