Laguna Phuket Golf Club - Phuket Golf Courses
Laguna Phuket Golf Club is a resort style 18 hole golf course located
within the exclusive Laguna Phuket development just 20 minutes from
the airport. Situated on the exclusive Bang Tao Bay on the western
side of Phuket Island, this par 71 layout stretches 6,850 yards
from the championship tees. The front 9 holes of this Max Wexler
designed golf course opened for play 7 December 1991 and the back
nine was opened in August, 1992.
Carved out of the existing sand hills, the front 9 holes, a par
36, meander through a once flourishing coconut plantation. Players
must be exact on their tee shots as water comes into play on 5 of
the 9 holes. The back 9 features water on 8 of the 9 holes. Playing
to a par 35, golfers will enjoy the challenge of back-to-back par
5 finishing holes, and three par 3s. The 11th hole, although
only 138 yards, will have a lasting impression.
Also available at Laguna Phuket Golf Club are practice facilities
such as a pitching green, driving range and 2,500 square meter putting
green. A teaching professional is employed to assist golfers with
instruction. The excellent Clubhouse facilities include a Pro-Shop,
Mens and Ladies Locker Rooms, Billiard Room and three tennis
courts.
