Golf Clubs and Courses in Phuket

Phuket is not only a tropical paradise with beautiful beaches and fine dining—it’s also a golfer’s dream. The island boasts a selection of world-class golf courses, each offering unique challenges, scenic landscapes, and luxurious clubhouses.

If you’re considering buying property in Phuket, investing near a top-tier golf course offers both lifestyle benefits and capital appreciation potential. Below is a guide to the most renowned golf clubs in and around Phuket, plus links to nearby real estate opportunities.

List of Golf Courses in Phuket:

Loch Palm Golf Club

The course at Loch Palm Golf Club combines the challenge of being built around a lake, with some forgivingly open fairways.  But don’t think you are in for an easy round!

The fairways may be more open than some of Phuket’s other courses, but the mounds and well-placed bunkers keep you honest, and the fairways always seem to slope toward the lake.

The undulating greens reward precision with the putter, and because they are exposed to the tropical sun, they run true and quick (unless you’re playing immediately after a heavy rain).

Location: Centrally located between Patong, Karon, and Phuket Town.
Highlights: Known for consistent course conditions and a relaxed, accessible layout.
Watch Out For: Popularity can lead to slow rounds on weekends.
Signature Hole: The par-3 14th features a tee shot across water to an island green—both fun and challenging.
Green Fee: Starting at THB 3,200 (approx. $91 USD), includes caddie.

Red Mountain Golf Club

Right next door to Loch Palm is the Red Mountain Golf Club.

Winding through the canyons on the site of a former tin mine, it features an impressive landscape, and stark changes in elevation.  The best example of this is the Signature Hole at 17, with its 150 metre drop from tee box to green. The fairways are narrow, so they favour the straight hitter, and the greens are true.

This is a challenging course, but one you must experience. And once you’ve experienced it, sit outside and marvel at the course with a drink on the veranda at the club house.

Location: Approximately 45 minutes from Phuket International Airport and just 20 minutes from Patong.
Highlights: Widely regarded as one of Thailand’s most scenic courses, Red Mountain winds through lush jungle and dramatic elevation changes, making every round a visual treat.
Watch Out For: One of the priciest tee times on the island—but the experience often justifies the splurge.
Signature Hole: The unforgettable 17th, where you tee off from a towering elevation to a green some 70 metres below.
Green Fee: Starts at THB 4,000 (approx. $114 USD), including cart and caddie.

Blue Canyon Golf & Country Club

About 15 minutes from the Airport is Blue Canyon Golf and Country Club. This club offers two immaculate courses, both of which are award-winning, and rank as two of Phuket’s best golf courses.

The Canyon Course is a challenging, championship-caliber course, and has hosted numerous regional and international tournaments.

It was on the Canyon Course where a young Tiger Woods cemented his legend in 1998 when he became the first person to hit the green in one on the 13th hole. (It has since been known as “The Tiger Hole”.)  The Lakes Course, challenging in its own right, will nevertheless provide you with a slightly more relaxing round of golf.

Location: Conveniently located 20 minutes from the airport and about 40 minutes from Patong.
Highlights: The post-renovation layout is immaculate, offering championship-level play amid tropical surrounds.
Watch Out For: Renovation has pushed green fees higher, making it one of the more premium options.
Signature Hole: The iconic par-3 14th—a stunning island green approached from an elevated tee.
Green Fee: From THB 4,400 (approx. $126 USD), including cart and caddie.

Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa

Mission Hills Phuket Golf Resort & Spa is a 6,806-yard tournament course designed by Jack Nicklaus, and situated on the northeast coast of Phuket.

Surrounded by mangrove swamps and rubber estates, and offering stunning sea views across Phang Nga Bay, you will be mesmerized by the setting.

But don’t get too caught up in the scenery because you will need to focus on the challenge at hand, such as the 537-yard Par 5, whose narrow fairway tests the accuracy of your long game, while the island green demands precision with your short irons.

In total, there are water hazards on seven of the holes, and the wind coming off the bay is an ever-present threat to your iron game.

Location: Just 15 minutes from the airport and 45 minutes from Patong.
Highlights: Breathtaking ocean views and a relaxed seaside setting make for a unique golf experience.
Watch Out For: Course maintenance can be hit or miss—check conditions before booking.
Signature Hole: The par-3 4th offers a dramatic shot to a green perched by the sea.
Green Fee: From THB 3,700 (approx. $106 USD), includes cart and caddie.

Phuket Country Club

The oldest golf course in Phuket, Phuket Country Club is easily accessible due to its location in Kathu, only a 15-20 minute drive from Patong Beach.

The Old Course has been the venue of many National Tournaments, but it remains popular with high handicappers, as well, thanks to its wide and forgiving fairways.

The hole everyone talks about after their round is #10: a 557-yard par 5, with a dog-leg right  snaking around an enormous lake, and if you are confident in your long game, its reachable in one!

If you are looking for a “quick round”, Phuket Country Club also has a par-36, 9-hole course (located across the street from the entrance to the Old Course).

It may only be 9 holes, but it is still a challenge, and with 5 tee boxes at each hole, if you feel like going around again, you approach each fairway from a new perspective.

Location: Situated between Patong and Phuket Town, offering easy access.
Highlights: A well-kept course that suits players of all levels.
Watch Out For: More advanced golfers may find the layout a bit short.
Signature Hole: The daring par-5 10th curves like a banana, tempting long hitters to attack the green straight from the tee.
Green Fee: Starts at THB 2,300 (approx. $66 USD).

Laguna Phuket Golf Club

The Laguna Phuket Golf Club (previously known as The Banyan Tree Golf Club Phuket) has received numerous awards for both the course and the clubhouse facilities.

Paul Jansen undertook a major 2-year renovation and redesign, which upon re-opening in 2015, instantly made Laguna one of the elite golf courses in Thailand.

The layout of this 6,756-yard course is very playable, yet truly challenging for enthusiasts of all handicaps. The landscape provides golfers with two distinct scenic experiences with lush tropical foliage on the front nine, while the back holes feature coconut groves and sand bunkers.

The scenic lagoons, coconut groves, undulating fairways, and the surrounding Phuket Mountains, combine to make Laguna Golf Phuket a truly idyllic course.

The course is part of the 5-star Laguna Resorts complex, which is in the Bang Tao area of Phuket. In addition to the resort hotels, this is an extremely popular high-end residential community.

Location: Just 25 minutes from the airport and 20 minutes from Patong.
Highlights: Part of the upscale Laguna resort complex, the course benefits from professional upkeep and solid management.
Watch Out For: High clubhouse prices and peak-time crowds.
Signature Hole: The 8th—a picturesque and testing par-3 framed by water and palms.
Green Fee: From THB 3,700 (approx. $106 USD), with caddie included.

Aquella Golf & Country Club

Nestled just north of Phuket, Aquella Golf & Country Club lies in Thai Muang, Phang Nga—about a 35–40‑minute drive from Phuket International Airport.

This 18‑hole, par‑72 championship course (7,000 yards) was redesigned by Pacific Coast Design and reopened in 2021. It features gently rolling, beachside terrain with Platinum Paspalum fairways, winding streams, sand bunkers, Casuarina woodlands, and stunning Andaman Sea vistas,

The standout is the signature 11th hole: a 186‑yard par‑3 perched above powder-white Thai Muang Beach, the sea glittering beyond. The course is well‑drained for year‑round play, even in monsoon season.

The modern clubhouse, known as “The Approach,” offers stylish locker rooms, a pro‑shop, golf simulator, terrace, fitness centre, yoga studio, spa, and a restaurant/bar overlooking the course and ocean. The Club also includes mini‑golf, driving range, tennis courts, swimming pool and water‑sports – making Aquella a complete country‑club escape framed by tropical beauty.

Location: Located in Thai Muang, Phang Nga Province—about a 40-minute drive north of Phuket International Airport.
Highlights: A newer addition to the region’s golf scene, Aquella offers a polished 18-hole championship course with ocean breezes, beachside views, and gently undulating terrain framed by tropical flora. The course is built on former beachfront land, giving it a unique coastal charm.
Watch Out For: Slightly off the main tourist path, so factor in travel time if staying in central Phuket.
Signature Hole: The par-3 11th hole is a showstopper—played from an elevated tee toward a green with sweeping views over Thai Muang Beach and the Andaman Sea.
Green Fee: Starts from THB 3,600–3,900 (approx. $102–$110 USD), typically includes cart and caddie.

Katathong Golf Resort & Spa

A short trip north of Aquella, closer to Kao Lak, is Katathong Golf Resort & Spa, home to a newly-opened Championship course, set amongst dazzling mountain scenery and tropical landscaping.

Above all else, Katathong is a sanctuary for golfers who arrive to play golf, but leave with a deeper respect for nature.

The site of a former tin mine, the course follows the natural contours of the land featuring undulating hills, sand traps and a beautiful reservoir.

But with an abundance of natural waterfalls and streams, prepare for the sound of cascading water, rather the tranquil chirping of birds.

The club house is designed in charming Sino-Portuguese architectural style and decorated with memorabilia from the mining era, there are even authentic rusting relics of the industrial mine that can still be seen from the fairway.

Location: Nestled in the lush valley of Phang Nga Province, around 1 hour 45 minutes from Phuket, and just 30 minutes from Khao Lak.
Highlights: Surrounded by rolling hills, lakes, and waterfalls, Katathong offers a peaceful retreat with a course carved into natural terrain. The layout blends scenic beauty with strategic challenges, ideal for those who appreciate a slower pace and mountain views.
Watch Out For: A longer journey from Phuket—best enjoyed as part of a day trip or overnight stay.
Signature Hole: The par-4 17th, which plays slightly downhill and offers panoramic views of the surrounding hills and water features.
Green Fee: Typically from THB 2,500–2,900 (approx. $71–$82 USD), including caddie (cart may be extra)
