 Loch
Palm Golf Club & Red Mountain Golf Course:
Loch
Palm: The Most Relaxing golf course in Phuket, Thailand Located in Kathu
District just 7 kms. from Phuket Town and Patong Beach, about 15 minutes
from Patong.
Nestling below a panoramic range of peaks, and sandwiched between the Katu
Waterfalls and Katu Village the layout surrounds the largest lake on any
golf course in Phuket, Crystal Lake, 48 acres in size, and its smaller
sister lake, which give golfers a refreshing breeze off the water.
This is an 18 holes course par 72, 6,555 yards palm tree-lined beauty,
recently completed major re-designs and multi-million dollar upgrades. The
course is in great shape. It is a very good layout and one that is beginning
to rival some of the best layouts on the island as the refurbishment
matures. You are required to put your thinking cap on and keep perfect
control of your game on this tightly routed layout.
Red
Mountain:
This
brand new 18-hole course is Loch Palm’s sister course.
Winding
its way through a truly dramatic 1400 rai former tin mine site in the heart
of Phuket, Red Mountain is surely one of Asia’s most exciting new courses.
The course has been cleverly routed to take advantage of a huge variety of
landforms and dizzying elevation changes. Scars left from the tin mine era
have been imaginatively incorporated into the overall scheme, creating a
unique character at the same time as establishing an indelible link with an
important era in the Island’s past.
Designer
Jon Morrow, has created a highly strategic and challenging 6,900 yard lay
out to complement the shorter and gentler old Loch Palm Course. While the
course is undoubtedly challenging, numerous risk and reward options create a
fun playing environment, an exhilarating test of golf and a breathtaking
scenic tour around a course destined to become a golfing landmark in the
region.

a rewarding gamble by cutting corners, while on other holes, strategic iron
play is a must!
