⛳ About Golf in Phuket

Phuket is one of Asia's finest golf destinations, with more than ten courses set among dramatic mountain terrain, rubber plantations, and coastal views. The island's elevation creates a naturally hilly course layout unique in Southeast Asia, with several courses offering spectacular sea views from elevated tees. Courses range from championship-standard layouts like Blue Canyon to more accessible tracks ideal for higher handicappers. Green fees are competitive by international standards, and twilight rates offer exceptional value.
