Red Mountain Golf Course Phuket

Laguna Golf Phuket has long been known as one of the best golf courses in Phuket, but as of the 1st January 2015, the layout and facilities have been renovated and revamped to create a new and improved overall golf experience.

Enjoying gentle breezes from the Andaman Ocean, this course is really enjoyable in every way and definitely not too demanding for the novice golfer. Basking in a location that enjoys much tropical abundance, this course epitomizes that special Phuket atmosphere.

This course is relatively flat and surrounded by maturing trees that give many parts of the course a woodland feel, although you have to think your way around the layout, as each hole offers something new and unique. The course is 6,719 yards in length from the back tees, with a par-71, culminating in a course that needs a wide range of shot options with lots of variety.

You will encounter lots of undulations, although the conditions are generally excellent. The fairways have many tiers, depressions and mounds that dominate the play, and with wide fairways, this is a forgiving course with great scoring opportunities.

The front 9-holes is where you will come into contact with many water hazards amidst the natural landscapes, with the back-9 weaving its way through mature trees. Be careful not to land in the rough because the mix of wood chips and native grasses can cause real havoc. Although there are not many bunker defenses, there are still enough located in prominent areas that could really catch you out.

The onsite facilities include a large driving range, 2,500sqm putting greens, chipping areas and even practice bunkers. The clubhouse is home to a top notch restaurant and a fully-stocked bar so you can replenish. There is also an onsite spa and massage facilities, which are both ideal for finishing a round in proper fashion.

Signature Hole – 17th hole, 612 yards, Par-5
The 17th hole is one of the trickiest finishing holes in Phuket. Set over a massive 612 yards from the back tees, you will have to play twice over water and it requires 3 very well-struck shots to reach the green. This is a difficult hole, so you have been warned.
