Golf Life in Phuket: Playing the Island All Year Round

Plenty of places sell you a golf holiday. Phuket Golf Life is about something else: what it's like to actually live here and play — week in, week out, through high season and green season, as a resident, a snowbird, or a long-stay visitor with clubs in the spare room.

What we'll cover

The courses, honestly compared. Red Mountain's drama, Blue Canyon's famous canyon holes, Laguna's friendly resort layout, Mission Hills out by the airport, and the rest — who each course suits and what a round really costs with caddie, cart and tips counted.

The money side. Green-fee seasons, twilight rates, memberships and golf societies — where the value hides for people playing two or three times a week instead of twice a year.

The lifestyle around it. Practice ranges, club fitting, second-hand gear, societies and scrambles, and the 19th holes worth knowing.

Beyond Phuket. Away rounds — Hua Hin, Pattaya, Chiang Mai and the north — because golfers who base in Thailand tend to roam, and we'll compare the island with the rest of the country's golf map.
