Red Mountain Golf Course in Phuket

Red Mountain Golf Course offers the most challenging 18 holes of golf in Phuket.

This 6,900 yard course is the ultimate golfing challenge, and I would have to rate it as one of the best golf courses in Phuket.

The course was completed in May 2007 and is built around the old tin mines, close to its sister course, Loch Palm Golf Course.

The course weaves its way through the rainforest, taking advantage of the old tin mine diggings.

There is plenty of elevation changes, and water hazards for those who hit stray shots from the elevated tee's.

Apart from the picturesque scenery, what we enjoyed most about playing this 18-hole course was the layout.

Every hole was a challenge, with fast greens, tight fairways, strategically placed bunkers and plenty of water hazards that come into play.

The 17th hole is one of the best par-3 holes I have ever played. This hole has an elevated tee, which drops 40 metres down to the green below.

Club selection is key to this hole, as there is a bunker to the right and another bunker placed just beyond the green, with lots of trees on your left.

If your a keen golfer like me, I strongly recommend playing a round at Red Mountain Golf Course.

While the course is certainly demanding and you might lose a few balls along the way, it stands out as one of the most memorable golfing experiences I’ve ever had.

One of the most valuable tips I can give you for playing a round at Red Mountain Golf Course is to pay close attention to your caddy’s guidance, especially regarding club selection, yardage and reading the greens.

On-site facilities at Red Mountain Golf Course include a 25-bay driving range and a practice putting green.

There is a modern Clubhouse which offers golfers a wide range of amenities, including a well-stocked Pro Shop, where you can purchase the latest golf equipment.

If you're like us and prefer not to travel with your own golfing gear, there is a dedicated rental shop where you can hire golf clubs, shoes, umbrellas, and golf carts.

To save a bit of money on rental equipment when we travel, we always take a collared pollo shirt, shorts and a decent pair of running shoes, as there is always a dress code, when it comes to playing golf.

If you want to freshen up after your round of golf, there are men's and women's locker rooms available with showers and an onsite bar and restaurant.
