Blue Canyon (Lake course)

When you want to play the most famous golf course not only in Phuket but in all of southern Thailand, the Canyon Course at Blue Canyon Country Club is the top choice. This legendary course has hosted golf legends such as Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, and Fred Couples, who have battled for victory at the renowned Johnnie Walker Classic.

Course Overview

Set over 7,179 yards, this 18-hole, Par-72 Championship course is easily one of the most visually stunning golf experiences in Thailand. As its name suggests, the course is home to dramatic natural canyons, rolling streams, sheer cliffs, and tree-lined fairways, all built on the site of an old tin mine, a nod to Phuket’s industrious past.

Located in the northwest of the island, close to Phuket International Airport and approximately 45 minutes from Patong, it offers convenience paired with world-class golfing.

Course Highlights

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

• The back 9-holes, particularly holes 11 to 15, form one of the most challenging and exciting stretches of golf in Thailand.

• The iconic par-4 13th requires a daring drive over a canyon.

• The par-3 17th is widely regarded as one of Asia’s best par-3 holes, offering a stunning yet intimidating view across a deep canyon.

As you’d expect from a Championship-level course, the fairways are like carpets and the greens are lightning-fast, demanding both precision and patience.
