Golf
Bangkok
Golf's popularity in Thailand rose dramatically after the country
hosted its first international tournament-the 1975 World championship. The
number of courses rose sharply in the past decade, in step with the
country's economic boom. The world's top designers have come and left
their marks, so have many world-class players. Now there are many courses
within easy reach of Bangkok.
The best time to come is the cool season, from
November to March. From April to October, it is very hot and wet. But even
in the rainy months, the heavy down pours usually comes in the afternoon,
and for only a few minutes. And since most courses have good drainage
systems, the rains should not interrupt your game for long. At some
facilities you may need to book ahead, through your club or your hotel. Do
book in advance for the weekends, for attendance goes up sharply at most
courses, and for the peak travel season, from December to February.
The state of the economy not withstanding, green fees continue to be
very reasonable. So are the fees for the well-trained, helpful caddies.
Service on the green and at the clubhouse, as befitting the Land of
Smiles, is prompt and courteous.
The Bangkok area is the major rice bowl of the country, and many golf
courses here are carved out of rice paddies. The terrain is flat, but most
golf courses compensate for this by crafting beautiful layouts with lots
of water hazards. The older courses have shadier fairways, with mature
vegetation, making it pleasant to play even in the most torrid months.
Bangkok - One-Week Golf Trip Itinerary

Phuket
Besides some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Phuket has
something else to boast about. The resort destination is now making a name
for itself in the golf world, with an international standard of courses.
It has been a decade since the Blue Canyon Country Club put Phuket on the
international golfing map and since then the idyllic palm-fringed island
is fast becoming a golfing paradise.
There are the four major courses in Phuket offering challenges to all
levels of golfers. The Blue Canyon and Thai Muang course offer serious
championship level play and the newly remodeled Loch Palm and the Phuket
County Club are notable for their natural beauty.
Both the Lakes Course and the Canyon Course at Blue Canyon were
designed by Japanese course architect Yoshikazu Kato. The legendary Gary
Player of South Africa, also consulted on the Lakes Course. The Blue
Canyon leapt to fame in 1994 when the Canyon Course was selected as the
venue for the 1994 Johnnie Walker Classic. The competition returned in
1998 and tested the abilities of golfers such as Tiger Woods, Ernie Els,
Fred Couples and Greg Norman. Consequently, the Canyon is a "must play"
course for serious golfers visiting Phuket. Coupled with the fact that the
course has panoramic mountain views and a rare natural location, which was
formerly a tin mine, this really is golf at it's best! The 18th hole, a
410 yard par 4, is reputed to be the best finishing hole on the island. To
the left, out of bounds, is a rubber plantation and to the right, jagged
rocks. Misjudge a fraction and you'll end up in the ravine, in the centre
of the fairway at about 300 yards, formerly the open pit of the tin mine.
However, get it right and drive 110 yards over the ravine to the
green.
One of the best kept secrets of Thai golf, the Thai Muang Beach Resort
and Golf Club, is on the mainland, 40 minutes north of the airport, is one
of the few beachside championship courses in Thailand, set amongst lush
tropical scenery. The final three holes are spectacular, particularly if
played as the sun sets over the Andaman Sea. The 17th hole, dubbed "the
lady", is a tricky 178 yards, par 3, and the 18th runs 463 yards with the
sea rolling onto the white sandy beaches on the left and the majestic
mountains in the distance on the right.
Loch Palm, formerly known as the Phuket Century, is located in 160
acres of hilly terrain in Kathu, near both Phuket Town and Patong.
Recently remodeled, the course has a simple and elegant design which uses
1400 palm trees as a feature on the fairways. The course is popular for
visitors and is the only course on the island which offers golf carts. The
first seven holes wind around the course's magnificent lakes - a nightmare
for those with a tendency to slice the ball! The back nine is also a
challenge with some difficult and unusual holes.
Phuket Country Club was the first 18-hole golf course to be built on
the island and is conveniently located between Phuket Town and Patong
Beach. The course is one of South East Asia's finest having hosted the
Ladies Kosaido Thailand Open in 1992 and the Prince Bernard Cup
tournaments. The mature and varied trees planted around the large lake
setting, give it a special beauty. In addition, the course passes through
3 distinctive environments with six holes which wind through undulating
limestone cliffs, another six on the level and the remainder passing
through a landscaped forest. The 557-yard, par 5 10th hole is the best
known in Phuket, a right dog-leg that snakes round an enormous lake and is
reachable in one. The really brave can drive 90 degrees right of the
fairway to the green, 240 yards over the water. Should you decide to go
around, you will have to hit over water at least twice! There are also
nine new holes on the other side of the road, called the "Country Club
Course". This challenging par 37 golf course is strictly for low handicap
golfers as there is water in every direction - bring a large bag of
balls!
