Laguna Golf Phuket – Scenic and Strategic Resort Golf Course Near Bang Tao Beach
Laguna Golf Phuket is an 18-hole, par 71 championship golf course stretching 6,756 yards, set amidst the natural beauty of a valley floor with refreshing breezes from the Andaman Sea. Located within the Laguna Resorts complex near Bang Tao Beach, this Phuket golf course showcases lush tropical surroundings with wooded hills and peaceful marshlands overlooking the layout.
Originally established in 1993 and redesigned in 2014 by Paul Jansen, Laguna Golf Phuket offers a more challenging and memorable golf experience. Golfers are encouraged to think strategically as each hole presents multiple shot options, providing variety and testing all aspects of one’s game. The course features undulating fairways, well-maintained playing surfaces, and a terrain of fairway tiers, depressions, and mounds that demand precise ball positioning for good scoring opportunities.
The front nine highlights several natural water bodies integrated into its design, while the back nine meanders through mature stands of overhanging trees that frame most holes and influence shot selection. The course features wide fairways with strategic bunkers placed sparingly but effectively to challenge players. Rough areas are covered with wood chips and native grasses, adding to the natural aesthetic and challenge.
The closing holes are particularly memorable: the daunting 612-yard 17th hole requires at least two shots over water, while the picturesque par-4 18th hole offers an exciting chance to finish with a birdie for well-struck shots.
Laguna Golf Phuket includes extensive practice facilities such as a driving range, putting green, chipping green, and practice bunkers. The clubhouse offers a first-class restaurant and a well-stocked bar. Non-golfers can enjoy luxury spa facilities adjacent to the course, making it a perfect complement to a round of golf.
Conveniently located just 20 minutes from Patong Beach, Laguna Golf Phuket is ideal for leisure golfers looking for a fun day out surrounded by stunning scenery and tropical tranquility.
