Top Ten for Best Golf Resort in Asia, Best Clubhouse in Asia and
Best Golf Courses in Thailand by readers of Asian Golf Monthly magazine,
Laguna Phuket Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-71 resort course, designed
by Max Wexler and David Abell, which challenges golfing enthusiasts
of all abilities. Measuring 6,654 yards from the back tees and 5,464
yards from the forward tees, the course features a wealth of scenic
lagoons, coconut groves and undulating fairways, set against the
dramatic backdrop of the surrounding mountains and the nearby sea.
Meandering through a labyrinth of lagoons, the course requires
golfers to play with great accuracy, and to select clubs carefully.
Water looms on 13 of the 18 holes and threatens to swallow any shot
veering too far to the side. On several holes, adventurous long
hitters will certainly enjoy taking a rewarding gamble by cutting
corners, while on other holes, strategic iron play is a must!
The signature par 3 sixteenth hole offers a green encased by a
myriad of gaping bunkers, while the short par 4 ninth hole looks
deceptively easy, until you realize you are forced to hit into the
small island green.
 The
par 5 seventeenth hole; perhaps the most challenging, requires three
long yet precise shots into a large green. The fifteenth might make
you think you are playing in the Rockies, as you watch your shot
soar to the green, set against the back drop of the magnificent
mountains.
Laguna Phuket Golf Club also offers a wonderful opportunity for
you to refine your game as its extensive practice facilities and
state of the art teaching center. Feature include a covered area
for sun and rain protection, a full length driving range, putting
greens, practice bunkers and chipping areas; so you can work on
both your short and long games. The LPGC Teaching Centre offers
the video analysis with the latest teaching software together with
comprehensive learning aids. All the Club’s professionals are
qualified PGA professionals.
