Rated by most who play here as the best course in Phuket
When asked to pick the best course they have played in Phuket, most golfers will probably choose Red Mountain Golf Club. The scenery is amazing, and the layout is one of the most unusual in Thailand. It also happens to be the most expensive, but if you can afford it, you will be rewarded with a wonderful experience. It is not easy, but the wonderful views alone make this worth playing.
The course meanders between the hills that inspired its name and numerous lakes and ponds which are a reminder of its former life as a tin mining area. There are often long stretches between each hole making a buggy essential as even they struggle to get up some of the hills.
The jungle encroaches close to many of the fairways so any wayward shots will lead to a dropped shot and on many holes, it’s advisable to play conservatively and use a club that you feel confident of hitting straight.
There are so many wonderful holes it’s tough to mention them all. The most memorable hole is the par 3 17th, with its tee box perched on the side of the canyon more than 70 metres above the green. The 18th hole is a picturesque downhill par 5, which offers the exceptionally long hitters a good chance of going for the green in two.
