Blue Canyon Country Club, Lakes Course

The Lakes Course at Blue Canyon Country Club presents an exhilarating golfing experience as the club’s second course. Nestled near the Phuket Island’s northern airport, it caters perfectly to those with tight schedules, offering a convenient option for a quick round before departure or upon arrival. With five sets of tees, it accommodates golfers of all levels, from seasoned pros to enthusiastic amateurs.

Crafted amidst the remnants of tin mining, the Lakes Course showcases a captivating blend of meandering creeks and water-filled canyons, seamlessly integrated into the natural jungle terrain. The front nine meanders through picturesque lakes and rugged canyons, while the back nine winds its way amidst lush rubber tree stands.

Precision off the tee is paramount on the Lakes Course, with numerous approach shots demanding finesse over small water obstacles and canyons that intersect the fairways. Securing regulation play requires strategic positioning and a pristine lie.

The 18th hole stands out as one of Thailand’s premier finishing challenges, a lengthy par-4 that demands the utmost skill from long hitters. Many opt for a conservative approach, aiming to avoid the jungle-clad canyon guarding the green.

Following a comprehensive renovation in 2006, the Lakes Course now stands shoulder to shoulder with its renowned counterpart, the Canyon Course. Offering a more transparent layout and fewer blind shots, some even argue it surpasses its sibling in terms of golfing experience. Additionally, the inclusion of golf carts enhances the convenience, making it an irresistible choice for holidaying golfers in Phuket.

While some facilities show signs of aging, they remain functional and sufficient for visitors’ needs. The caddies, though seasoned, are adept at their craft and always ready to share a jovial moment with players.
