Phuket Country Club

27 holes par 72/36 (6484/7150 yards)

Island’s Oldest Golf Club with 27 Holes

The Phuket Country Club is located in the middle of the island, so is only 15 minutes from Phuket Town and Patong. This 27 hole course meanders through hills and limestone cliffs with some flat areas, undulating elevations and through some landscaped forests.

Opened in 1989, with 6,984/ 7,150 yards, there are two courses, the Old Course with 18 holes and the Country Club Course with 9 holes.

The Old Course provides a strenuous resort 18-hole, 6483 yards, par 72 golf game. Its general layout starts with the front nine providing some of the most undulating and testing holes at the club.

Hole No 10 , 557 yards par 5, is one of the most unusual holes you will find anywhere…. some even say it is the most famous hole on the island. A dog-leg right that snakes around an enormous lake and is almost reachable in one! To achieve it, you must aim 90 degree right of the fairway – and be able to carry you drive 240 yards over the water. Good luck!

You will traverse through three distinct environments:- six holes in undulating hills, six holes on the level and six holes through landscape forest. Wayward shots are not too severely penalized; just stay away from the ‘vertical-cliff’ wall bunkers guarding strategic Greens.

Although high handicappers have the best round of their lives and keep coming back for more, the low handicap golfers still find the course quite a challenge.

Their Country Club Course is a challenging 3,375 yards (championship tee) par 36, 9-hole course, particularly suitable for the low handicap golfer. The picturesque beauty of the scenery and layout, somewhat softens the difficulty of the course. Watch out for those wayward shots; all are penalized either landing in water or out-of-bounds. However, with five tee-off boxes at each hole, you have a choice of making it less of an ordeal.

The distinct feature is water- water comes into play 90% of the time. Black swans glide amongst the water lilies taking very little heed of your slices! (Hint: high handicap golfers, remember to purchase a few dozen second hand balls from the Pro Shop before tee off! You just might need a few!)

The clubhouse is a bit dated and needs modernising the beauty and elegance of the together with the typical Thai charm and hospitality in the club house guarantees all golfing at Phuket Country Club a truly memorable occasion.
