Laguna Phuket Golf Club

Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket and Phuket Hotel Articles

The Laguna Phuket Golf Club is one of Phuket's most popular courses with local business people -- it is also considered an ideal resort course.

It is part of the famed Laguna Phuket complex in central Bang Tao, with five luxury hotels on the beach side of the greens.

Tucked away in the Laguna Resort Complex, Laguna Phuket Golf Club is the perfect resort course. This Max Wexler designed course meanders through lagoons, a coconut plantation and features water on eight of the back nine holes. Low handicappers will find that it gives plenty of challenges to test their skills, but higher handicappers need not feel overawed.

The course is set on a valley floor overlooked by low wooded hills. The well-landscaped layout is dotted with lumps of palm and graceful Casuarina trees. The fairways flow nicely, the bunkers are moulded and the greens are generally large and welcoming.

The par-4 10th hole is particularly challenging, with a very difficult second into a thin green protected by water and a lakeside bunker, while the back-to-back par-5 17th and 18th holes make for an unusual finish. Another taxing signature hole is the 16th, offering fabulous views of the Andaman Sea and a green encased by a myriad of 12 gaping bunkers. On a windy day, the sea breeze will spice up your game further, but that is part of the fun.

The extensive practice facilities provided by Banyan Tree Club include a driving range, putting greens, practice bunkers and chipping areas - so you can refine both your short game and your tee shots. The club also stages regular tournaments and provides tuition by a resident professional from the USA. The well-appointed clubhouse and pro shop offer an impressive range of golfing accessories, as well as a billiard table, three tennis courts and the Banyan Café.
