Phuket Country Club was established in 1989 and has the honour of the being the first golf course built on the island of Phuket. Conveniently located midway between Phuket Town and Patong Beach it is easily accessible from all the main beach resorts. The course provides a fun and friendly 18 holes set in a valley that meanders through hills and limestone cliffs traversing 3 distinct environment, with six holes in undulating hills, six holes on the level and six through landscape forest. Phuket Country Club is regular host of national tournaments and will provide a challenging, but not intimidating round of golf for the high handicappers who often have the best rounds of their lives. Accurate shots are required although any wayward shots are not severely penalised as the rough is very light. Water comes into play more on the back nine starting at the 557 yard par 5 10th. This is one of the most unusual holes you will find anywhere. A dog-leg right that snakes around an enormous lake yet can be reached in one! To achieve it you must aim 90 degrees right from the tee and be able to carry 240 yards over the water. The clubhouse has good facilities including locker rooms with sauna for ladies and men, Pro shop, driving range, putting green, tennis courts, and a golf academy. The poolside restaurant has panoramic views over the golf serving excellent Japanese, local Thai and western cuisine and is the perfect place to relax after your round. The course remains a firm favourite amongst locals and regular visitors to Phuket. The relaxing atmosphere and hospitality of Phuket Country Club along with the beauty of the course, will guarantee you'll be back again and again.
