Few Phuket golf courses have presented the design team with such a dramatic raw canvas on which to sculpt a memorable Golf Course. The routing explores the four corners of the former tin mine property with dramatic elevation changes representing a memorable tour of Phuket's historical landscapes. Holes have been sculpted into and through rugged cliffs and canyons, perched on precipitous ledges climbing to a high plateau cut away from the mountain by decades of mining. This is undoubtedly the highest Golf on Phuket Island! Views are as dramatic as one would expect.
Many towering cliffs cut out of the hills and flooded canyons frame several other holes at Lock Palm Golf Club. Mounds of waste tailings have left a unique moonscape that we could never reproduce. Mini-alluvial plains also provide occasional flat holes. Nature has healed itself and left a pleasantly surprising combination 'Tin Mine' landscapes and vegetation. Great care has been taken to route holes so that players have to face the full range of natures hazards; wind, water, slopes and elevation changes. Make no mistake, this Phuket golf course will exceed your expectations on your Thailand golf holiday.
The concept of variety has been carried into all areas on this Thailand golf course. There are large and small greens, some with subtle breaks, some with wilder contours. The latest Bermuda Hybrid grasses, noted for their shade tolerance, will allow fast, smooth putting surfaces even through Phuket's rainy season. Fairways and tees are grassed with Seashore Paspalum; Golf's most environmentally friendly and opulent playing surface. No expense has been spared on drainage; fairways have been capped throughout with a deep, clean sand layer allowing perfect playing surfaces just minutes after the heaviest rains. Wild, local grasses have been used in some rough areas to complete the natural look. If you're taking a Phuket golf holiday, Loch Palm Golf Club is a must-play if you're staying there for more than 4-5 days.
