Located between Phuket Town and Patong Beach is this 27-hole golf resort, which is comprised of the "Old Course", a challenging 18-hole golf course and the "Country Club Course", a separate 9-hole course. This is part of a fully equipped recreation centre with driving range facilities. The Old Course, with its ideal clubhouse, provides a strenuous resort style par 72 round of golf. Set in undulating terrain and created from a former tin mine, every hole of the first 18-hole layout provides a different playing experience. There is an unusual 557-yard par 5 10th hole on the Old Course, where the pin can be reached with a tremendous drive over water. To achieve it, one must aim 90 degrees right of the fairway and be able to carry the shot 300 yards over the water. Roughly speaking, the course offers six holes in undulating hills, six holes on the level and six holes through landscaped forest. The clubhouse offers a panoramic view over the golf course with a poolside restaurant, locker room with sauna for both ladies and men, two function rooms, two tennis courts, and a golf clinic with an attendant teaching professional. The restaurant menu provides Japanese, local Thai and western food. The management and staff at this most enjoyable venue are extremely friendly and helpful. A guaranteed good time. |
