Phuket Country Club, a 27 hole golf course primely locate
mid-way between Phuket Town and Patong Beach. There are two
courses...
The Old Course provides a strenuous 18-hole, 6483 yards, par
72 golf game.
Hole #10, 557 yards par 5, is one of the most unusual holes
you will find anywhere; a dog-leg right that snakes around
an enormous lake and is reachable in one!
Set in a valley, with fairways meandering through the hills,
the course offers six holes in undulating hills, six holes
on the level and six holes through landscaped forest. Although
high handicappers have the best round of their lives and keep
coming back for more, the low handicap golfers still find
the course quite a challenge.
The Country Club Course is a challenging 3575 yards (championship
tee) par 37, 9-hole course, particularly suitable for the
low handicap golfer. The picturesque beauty of the scenery
and layout, somewhat softens the difficulty of the course.
Watch out for those wayward shots; all are penalized either
landing in water or out-of-bounds. However, with five tee-off
boxes at each hole, you have a choice of making it less of
an ordeal. The distinctive feature is water which comes into
play 95% of the time.
(Hint: high handicap golfers, remember to purchase a few dozen
second and balls from the Pro Shop before tee off! You might
just need a few!)
