Blue Canyon Country Club – Canyon Course

Play in the footsteps of Tiger Woods, but check the condition before playing here.

Blue Canyon Country Club, Canyon Course is a famous championship golf course which twice hosted the prestigious Johnnie Walker Classic which was won by Tiger Woods. The layout of the course is the best in Phuket and probably the most challenging with tree-lined fairways, thick rough, some long carries over water or ravines and extremely fast greens.

Unfortunately, this iconic layout is not always in the best condition and needs a makeover, so better to check the condition before booking to play a round here.

The pick of the holes on the front nine is the par 3, 7^th, demanding an accurate 170 + yard tee shot over a ravine to a sloping green protected by bunkers in front and behind. The ninth is a challenging par 5, which will reward a good drive with the opportunity to go for the green, although most players play up short of the water, which leaves a short iron into the putting surface.

The back nine is even more difficult and the stretch of holes from 11 through 14 can wreck your card. The 13^th which is a par 4 and known as the “Canyon Hole” was made famous by Tiger Woods who managed to drive the green and this is followed by a wonderful downhill par 3 to an island green.

Despite its rough edges, this golf course remains one of the best layouts in Thailand and is a must-play for visitors to Phuket.
