Laguna Golf Phuket Description:
(top resort course, host of 2009 Thailand Open)
Laguna Golf Phuket features a resort golf course with pleasant breezes from the Andaman Sea. The Phuket golf course not too demanding and reflects the natural beauty and tropical surroundings of Bang Tao Bay. Phuket Golf Laguna is set on a valley floor overlooked by low wooded hills and marshlands.
The Phuket golf course was re-designed in 2014, and now the Laguna Golf Phuket is both more challenging and memorable. Golfers need to think their way around the golf course as each hole offers a multitude of shot options and both nines have a good variety.
The golf course is undulating with excellent playing surfaces and conditions. Fairway tiers, depressions, and mounds dominate play. Wide fairways are seemingly straightforward, but golfers still need to position their ball to have good scoring opportunities.
Many holes on the front nine define the existing naturally landscaped water bodies. The back nine meanders through mature stands of trees. Both nines take advantage of large overhanging trees which influence play and frame most of the holes. The rough areas are mix of wood chip and native grasses. While there is an infrequent use of bunkers, each one is strategically positioned to appear prominent and come into play where necessary.
The finishing two holes are the most challenging; the monster 612 yard 17th, requiring play at least twice over water; and the beautiful par-4 18th hole, where a well-struck shot give a chance for a finishing birdie.
Extensive facilities include a driving range, putting green, chipping green and practice bunkers. The modest clubhouse provides a first class restaurant with well-stocked full bar. Non-golfers are encouraged to make use of the adjoining luxury spa facilities, which makes a 4-hour spa and massage treatment the perfect companion to a round of golf.
The Phuket Laguna golf course is an excellent choice for a fun day out on the links. It is also conveniently located in the Laguna area, which makes for easy transportation for those staying at any of the area’s luxury Phuket resorts. An early morning round of golf will leave time for lunch and the rest of the day on the beach or for exploring Phuket Island.
