Caddies
In Phuket it is mandatory to take a caddy with you while playing on the course. The courses provide caddies who will carry your bags, repair your divots/pitch marks as well as keep you company while they politely direct you from hole to hole.
If you are planning to enjoy some golfing while here in Phuket, here are a couple of their best courses:
The Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa
Designed by Jack Nicklaus, the Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa offers an 18-hole, par 72 golf course. The great thing about this course is that as you play, you will also be able to take in the breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea in the background.
Loch Palm Golf Club
The Loch Palm Golf Club would be the golf course that is frequented by the majority of locals on the island. It is recognized as one of the more popular golf courses in Thailand. It is also an 18-hole, par 72 golf course, which offers a bit of a challenge as it has various differences in height throughout.
Blue Canyon Golf Course
The Blue Canyon Golf Course has been recently declared as one of the best golf courses overall in the whole of Asia by several golf related international publications. There have been a number of well-known golf tournaments that have been hosted here, which includes the renowned Johnnie Walker Classics Tournament.
