Blue Canyon (Lake course)

If you're looking to play the most renowned golf course in Phuket and southern Thailand, the Canyon Course at Blue Canyon Country Club is the premier option. This iconic course has seen golf greats like Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, and Fred Couples compete for victory at the prestigious Johnnie Walker Classic.

Course Overview

Spanning 7,179 yards, this 18-hole, Par-72 Championship course offers one of the most breathtaking golf experiences in Thailand. As indicated by its name, the course features dramatic natural canyons, rolling streams, sheer cliffs, and tree-lined fairways, all established on the site of a former tin mine, reflecting Phuket’s industrious heritage.

Situated in the northwest of the island, near Phuket International Airport and about 45 minutes from Patong, it provides convenience along with top-tier golfing.

Course Highlights

• The front 9-holes meander through palm-oil tree-lined fairways, offering a soothing yet engaging start.

• The back 9-holes, especially holes 11 to 15, represent one of the most challenging and thrilling segments of golf in Thailand.

• The famous par-4 13th demands a bold drive over a canyon.

• The par-3 17th is considered one of Asia’s finest par-3 holes, offering a spectacular yet daunting view across a deep canyon.

As expected from a Championship-level course, the fairways are like carpets and the greens are lightning-fast, requiring both precision and patience.
