Phuket has some of the best golf in Southeast Asia: six main courses within 40 minutes of each other, year-round play and caddies on every round.
This guide compares every course, explains green fees and caddie costs, and covers booking, club hire, the best season and practice options. By Shawn Tulsi · Updated 15 October 2026
Most visitors play two or three rounds and pick courses by standard, budget and location. In short: Red Mountain for the signature round, Blue Canyon for championship golf near the airport, Laguna for a relaxed resort round, and Loch Palm or Phuket Country Club for value.
All the main golf courses in Phuket, Thailand, side by side.
| Course | Area | Holes | Character | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red Mountain Golf Club | Kathu (central) | 18 holes, par 72 | Dramatic, built in a former tin mine | Low handicaps, the signature round |
| Blue Canyon Country Club | Thalang (north, near the airport) | 36 holes: Canyon and Lakes | Championship, mature and tree-lined | Tournament pedigree, arrival or departure day |
| Laguna Golf Phuket | Bang Tao (west coast) | 18 holes, par 71 | Resort course, flat, lagoons and palms | Mixed groups, golfers staying at Laguna |
| Loch Palm Golf Club | Kathu (central) | 18 holes, par 72 | Parkland around a large lake | Value and a fair test for all levels |
| Phuket Country Club | Kathu (central) | 18 holes, par 72 | Phuket's original course, rolling hills | Relaxed rounds, practice range |
| Mission Hills Phuket | Pa Klok (northeast) | 18 holes, par 72 | Jack Nicklaus design with sea views | Golf and stay on one property |
| Aquella Golf & Country Club | Khao Lak, Phang Nga (about 1 hour north) | 18 holes | Beachside links-style layout | A day trip or a Khao Lak extension |
Golf in Phuket prices depend on the course, the day and the season. Weekend and high-season (November to April) rates are at the top of each range; twilight and green-season rates can be well below it.
| Course | Green fee (THB, per player) | Caddie | Cart |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red Mountain Golf Club | 4,500 to 6,000 | Caddie required | Cart required |
| Blue Canyon (Canyon Course) | 5,000 to 6,500 | Caddie required | Cart included or extra, ask |
| Blue Canyon (Lakes Course) | 3,500 to 5,000 | Caddie required | Cart included or extra, ask |
| Laguna Golf Phuket | 3,500 to 4,800 | Caddie required | Cart included |

What each course is like and who it suits.
Usually ranked the best golf course in Phuket. The layout climbs through an old tin mine in Kathu, with red earth cliffs, lakes and big elevation changes. Signature holes play from high tees down to greens framed by rock walls. Bring your accurate game: it punishes misses. Sister club to Loch Palm, a few minutes away.
Two courses near Phuket airport. The Canyon Course has hosted international tournaments and is the classic championship test, with water on many holes. The Lakes Course is gentler and cheaper. A good first or last round of a trip because the airport is about 10 minutes away.
The resort course inside Laguna Phuket at Bang Tao. Flat, walkable feel, lagoons and coconut palms, and the most forgiving layout on the island, so it suits mixed-ability and corporate groups. There is a driving range, a golf academy for lessons, and many resorts and villas within a few minutes. Golfers searching for Laguna golf course green fees will find it mid-priced for Phuket.
A parkland course in Kathu wrapped around a large lake, with tight fairways on the back nine and a friendly clubhouse. Often the best value of the premium courses, and quick to reach from Patong (around 20 minutes).
The island's original course, also in Kathu, with rolling terrain and mature trees. Relaxed and good value, with its own driving range next door, one of the easiest places on the island to hit balls.
A Jack Nicklaus designed course in Pa Klok on the quiet northeast coast, with views over Phang Nga Bay. The resort is on site, so it works for golf holidays and small groups who want to stay and play in one place, with a floodlit driving range.
Phuket's courses sit in four clusters. Group your rounds by area to cut driving time.
| Area | Courses | From Patong | From the airport |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kathu (central) | Red Mountain, Loch Palm, Phuket Country Club | 15 to 25 min | 35 to 45 min |
| Bang Tao (west) | Laguna Golf Phuket | 25 to 30 min | 20 to 25 min |
| Thalang (north) | Blue Canyon Lakes and Canyon | 40 to 50 min | About 10 min |
| Pa Klok (northeast) | Mission Hills | 45 to 55 min | 25 to 30 min |
| Khao Lak (Phang Nga) | Aquella | About 1 hr 45 min | About 1 hr |
Approximate drive times outside rush hour. Golf near Patong, Karon or Kata means the Kathu courses.
Phuket golf booking is easy online or through your hotel, but high-season mornings fill up, so book a week or more ahead. Booking agents often bundle green fee, caddie and transfer.
Start between 6:30 and 8:00 to beat the midday heat. Afternoon rounds are cheaper in the green season but risk a shower.
Collared shirt, golf trousers, shorts or skirt, golf shoes. No denim or swimwear. Hat, sunscreen and water are essential.
Every course rents clubs and often shoes. Ask for left-handed sets in advance. Bring your own balls and glove to save money.
Caddies are compulsory and very helpful on greens. Tip in cash at the end. Pace of play is relaxed but expect four hours plus.
Courses do not run shuttles from most hotels. Book a private transfer or taxi both ways; for groups we arrange vans and transfers with space for bags.
November to April (dry season): sunny, lower humidity, the best course conditions and the highest prices. December to February is peak.
May to October (green season): lush fairways, fewer players and lower green fees. Showers usually come in the afternoon, so morning rounds often stay dry.
Year round, temperatures sit around 27 to 33°C, so hydration matters more than the month.
Phuket Country Club has the most convenient range, and Laguna, Blue Canyon and Mission Hills all have practice facilities. Buckets of balls are inexpensive.
Laguna Golf Phuket runs an academy with PGA-qualified coaches; most courses can book a pro for a lesson or a playing session.
At Karon Beach: an 18-hole dinosaur-themed course with a volcano, waterfalls and a restaurant. Best for families in the evening. Check current prices before you go.
Phuket Adventure Mini Golf near Chalong is a second option, with themed holes and an easy family round.
Phuket golf packages typically combine 3 to 5 rounds, transfers and a hotel. For a golf resort feel, stay on or next to a course: Mission Hills has rooms on the course, and the Laguna Phuket resorts at Bang Tao (such as Banyan Tree and Angsana) are minutes from Laguna Golf.
For the most choice, stay central or on the west coast and drive to the Kathu courses. Groups often prefer a private villa with transfers, which our concierge team can arrange.

Red Mountain Golf Club is the course most golfers rank first, for its tin mine setting and elevation changes. Blue Canyon's Canyon Course is the championship alternative. For mixed or beginner groups, Laguna Golf Phuket is the easiest and most relaxed.
Phuket has six main 18-hole courses: Red Mountain, Blue Canyon (two courses), Laguna Golf Phuket, Loch Palm, Phuket Country Club and Mission Hills. Aquella in Khao Lak is about an hour north, and there are par-3 and practice facilities.
Green fees run from roughly THB 2,800 to THB 6,500 per player, depending on the course, day and season. Add a caddie fee (around THB 400 to 500), a caddie tip (around THB 300 to 500) and a cart if required. These are indicative ranges; check the course or a booking agent for current rates.
Yes. Caddies are compulsory at almost every Phuket course. They carry or drive with your bag, read greens and know the course well. Tipping your caddie is expected.
Yes. Every main course rents sets, usually for around THB 1,500 to 2,500 a round, and shoes are often available too. Book them with your tee time, especially for left-handed sets.
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable weather and the highest green fees. May to October is the green season: cheaper, quieter and lush, with afternoon showers, so book early morning tee times.
The three Kathu courses, Loch Palm, Red Mountain and Phuket Country Club, are the closest, around 15 to 25 minutes from Patong. From Karon and Kata allow around 30 minutes.
Blue Canyon Country Club is about 10 minutes from the airport. Mission Hills and Laguna are both around 20 to 30 minutes away.
Yes. Dino Park Mini Golf at Karon Beach is the best-known, an 18-hole dinosaur-themed course with a restaurant, popular with families in the evening. Check current opening times and prices before you go.
Collared shirts, golf trousers, shorts or skirts, and soft-spike golf shoes. Denim, swimwear and vests are not allowed. A hat, sunscreen and plenty of water are essential.
