Blue Canyon leaped to fame when it was selected as the venue for the 1994 Johnnie Walker Classic and since then it has been recognized as a world championship golf course and constantly ranks as Thailand’s number one golf club.
Often considered one of the best layouts in Asia, The Blue Canyon, Canyon Course is the jewel of Phuket golf. The back nine is arguably the best in Thailand with several memorable golf holes that will most likely be the center of your after round discussions.
The famous Par 4 13th over a huge canyon tempts the daredevil in all of us, and the following Par 3 14th from an elevated tee to an island green is one of the most beautiful, while also challenging par 3’s for all players who tee it up. There is no bail out area and unless you’ve played the course on several occasions, trusting you’ve got the right club and gauging the wind effects is difficult.
The 17th is also one of the most intimidating Par 3’s you’ll find anywhere, and even from the white tees, for most players it’s a long iron or fairway wood to a partially hidden green.
Blue Canyon has an excellent club house, with 3 gourmet restaurants, clean and luxurious changing rooms, massage and spa, and on site golf resort for those who prefer an all inclusive resort style golf holiday. In any case, stay and play or just play, Blue Canyon is an ideal choice for a Phuket golf vacation.
