Golf Holidays in Thailand: Stay at a Luxury Phuket Resort
Golf enthusiasts troop to Phuket to play a round or two at the famed Blue Canyon Country Club noted for hosting the Johnnie Walker Classics same as the Honda Classic Tournaments. Jack Nicklaus designed the Mission Hills Golf Resort with its panoramic view of the Andaman Sea. The Laguna Phuket Golf Club, Red Mountain Golf Club and Mission Hills Golf Resort are in the top tier of the best golf courses in Thailand and voted as the top 3 best new golf ranges in the whole Asian region in 2007.
If you have booked a lazy vacation somewhere in the Andaman Sea, consider lugging your golf clubs to hit the green at the Mission Hill Golf Resort and Blue Canyon Country Club. If you are hoping to experience the cool mountains of Northern Thailand, there are greens available for the golf enthusiast.
The Thais have long been advocates of golf. In the early 20th century the Royal Family established a summer palace in Huan Hin. Since
most of the Thai royalties and upper class Thais built summer homes in the same locality, O.J. Robinson, a Scottish golf course designer, designed and built an 18-hole golf course for the Royalties and their friends. From then on, golf has been an integral part of Thai pastime and relaxation.
Golf courses in Thailand have very reasonable rates as the USD goes a long way in Thailand. A usual golf holiday package includes hotel accommodation, green fees, caddy fees, golf carts and shuttle to and from hotel, airport and golf course. A Westerner might find it amusing that golf caddies in Thailand are females. The lady caddies are knowledgeable in insider tips of particular golf courses. They could very well give advice on the type of iron or wood to use in a particular hole or the hidden slope or curve in an apparently straight course.
Note that golf courses in Thailand were all planned by international golf course designers such as Gary Player, Robert Trend Jones, Nick Faldo, Jack Nicklaus
and Arnold Palmer of course
A golfing holiday in Bangkok, Phuket or Chiang Mai is a great idea. It would be a novel experience to hit the greens of Bangkok Golf Course with its famed waterfall hole. Why not try the Thana City Course which is reputedly the most difficult course in Thailand.
For non-golfing companions of the golf enthusiasts, the entertainment and recreation facilities offered by the golf country clubs will keep happily occupied. For newbie golf enthusiasts, driving ranges with pro instructors are integrated with the golf courses.
