Course Overview
Established in 1989, Phuket Country Club is the island’s first championship golf course and remains a cherished favorite for its traditional charm and natural beauty. Located centrally in Kathu, it is a testament to the island’s rich golfing heritage, offering a serene escape just minutes from the main tourist hubs.
The "Old Course" is famous for its friendly, walk-able layout that meanders through a lush valley. With undulating fairways lined by mature tropical trees and vibrant local flora, it provides a classic golfing experience that prioritizes strategic play and enjoyment over raw power.
The Playing Experience
What makes Phuket Country Club unique is its ability to challenge golfers of all levels while maintaining a relaxing atmosphere. The layout incorporates natural water hazards and cleverly placed bunkers that guard large, true-rolling greens. One of the course’s most talked-about features is the par-5 10th hole, which requires a dramatic tee shot over a large lake—a true "risk and reward" classic.
As you navigate the fairways, you are fully immersed in the island’s natural landscape. It is common to encounter local wildlife, including monkeys and exotic bird species, making your round feel like a journey through a tropical botanical garden.
Clubhouse & Tradition
The clubhouse exudes an air of timeless elegance and warm Thai hospitality. After your round, the restaurant terrace is the perfect place to unwind, offering panoramic views of the valley and the 18th green. Known for its exceptional Thai and international cuisine, it is a popular gathering spot for both members and visitors. Its central location makes it the most convenient course on the island for those staying in Patong or Phuket Town.
