Phuket Country Club
The longest running of Phuket Golf CoursesPhuket Country Club offers a an enjoyable game for mid to high handicap golfers off the white tee's and a good challenge for lower handicappers of the blue tee's. Located between Patong and Phuket Town makes this an easy course to get to either by golf tours or a short taxi ride from the major beaches. The Country Club was built in 1989 and is now regarded as the longest established golf course on Phuket, I had the pleasure of playing on this course for the first time in 1990 and after several return visits, it still has the better of me.
The course has a good variety of holes, winding across the hillside. My favorite hole has to be the 10th, after grabbing some refreshment at the clubhouse to then challenge 557 yard par 5, having the choice of playing around the lake or going for broke and carrying the 240 yards over the water direct to the green
My recommendation is have a go, just use an old ball if your not sure, it can join a few of mine in the lake if you don't make it. To give you an advantage have a read of the Simple Golf Swing Guru to correct that dreaded slice. The staff and caddies are all very friendly and helpful, just watch out for the ball hunters lurking off the fairways for those stray shots. Green fee's are reasonable with golf carts available for the nine hole course. You will find monthly golf tournaments on offer and they are open to all to play.
