Laguna Golf Phuket

Laguna Golf Phuket is located right next to the Andaman Sea, from which a steady, pleasant breeze blows. The 18-hole course with par 72 was opened in 1993 and designed by Paul Jansen. Even though the facilities were renovated in 2014, they are not very difficult, allowing beginning golfers to achieve good scores as well. Thai locals love the course, which hosted the Thailand Open since 2009. The course at Laguna Golf Phuket ranks among Southeast Asia’s top courses. Its splendid location certainly adds to its charm, and the resort itself, as well as the beloved holiday beaches at Bang Tao or Paton Beach, are not far. The course is flat, and its fairways invitingly wide. The front nine contain various water hazards, and the difficulty of the back nine is mostly posed by large trees and bunkers, the latter of which are cleverly positioned, requiring a strategic approach. Here, golfers need an accurate swing. The last holes are particularly demanding, with a very long 17th hole that require balls to be played over water. The 18th hole invites experienced players to try for a birdie with three swings. The course at Laguna Golf Phuket is a veritable feast for the eyes, and a must for golfers holidaying on Phuket. After playing a round of golf, there is enough time to go for a swim or discover the pretty island.
