Laguna Phuket Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-71 resort course, designed byMax 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 undulatingfairways, set against the dramatic backdrop of the surrounding mountains andthe 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 talking a rewarding gambleby 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 realise you are forced to hit into the small island green.
