Phuket is a great destination for a golf
holiday, with six international standard golf courses set amidst idyllic
surroundings. The island is attracting an increasing number of golfers due
to its year-round mild climate, beautiful beaches and relaxed atmosphere.
Green fees are generally higher than the rest of Thailand, but the pleasure
of playing these courses is usually well worth the expense. Bear in mind
too, that fees are still very low in comparison to other countries. There is
no need to show handicap cards at any of Phuket’s golf courses. Dress code
is not strict but most clubs expect visitors to wear golf shirts with
collars, short or long trousers, socks and golf shoes. Generally spike-less
shoes or soft spikes are required. These can be hired at the courses.

Golf Rules from USGA and The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, Scotland Learning and playing by the Rules of Golf is very important. Golf is a game where you are expected to play by the rules and it is each player's responsibility to follow the rules. |

Golf instructors tell students to hit the ball in the sweet spot,
and that's sensible advice. For golfers of every standard, Phuket
is probably the sweetest spot of all for hitting a golf ball.
While other destinations in Thailand are also home to good courses,
only in Phuket is it possible to enjoy first-rate golf, plus sun-drenched
beaches and coral-reef diving, all close to fine cuisine and a varied
nightlife.
Many people visit Phuket to enjoy its water and sand. Golfers will
find plenty of both on the island's courses, mixing a little pain
with their pleasure. Yet win or lose, Phuket is probably Thailand's
best destination for wonderful warm-weather golf.
The number of courses on the island is growing and they are well-maintained
and constantly being upgraded. Facilities are excellent. But the
people matter even more.
Caddies, all of them women, are obligatory on the island's courses.
They add a sense of fun -- sanook, as the Thais call it -- to every
round. Line up a birdie and your caddy will smile along with you.
Miss a putt and she will also mourn the missed opportunity.
Expert on each course and knowledgeable about the game, the hundreds
of caddies add their special sanook to the complete island golfing
experience. Golf is good everywhere. On Phuket, it's seldom less
than superb. |
