Part of the Laguna Phuket resort complex, Laguna Phuket Golf Club is not championship length, but offers a decent challenge to all abilities. Measuring 6,654 yards from the back tees and 5,464 yards from the ladies’, it has lagoons, coconut trees and undulating fairways, to ensure that par is no pushover. Accuracy and club selection are crucial to avoid getting wet or any of the other hazards and as water is in play on 13 holes; avoiding it all is no mean feat. The longer hitters will be able to take risks on a couple of the par 5’s but much of the course needs well positioned irons for a good score.

The 10th 444 yards Par 4 is one of the major tests and is rightly stroke index 3. A solid drive to a none-too-generous fairway is the first issue, but the second shot is as tough as any. The green is set on a promontory with the lake to the right, making the hole a dog-leg. Between the lake and the green lies a massive sweeping bunker of almost 100 yards that runs into the water, but sand is better than water so don’t be too afraid of it. Any pin placement in the back right corner of the green makes this a truly difficult hole. |

The15th 421 yards Par 4 is another testing one. The fairway narrows just at the distance that a good drive should reach and, to make matters more interesting, bunkers guard the fairway on either side. So stick with a fairway wood, but be prepared for a slightly longer shot in. The green is built into a large mound with the entry carved beautifully out of the natural surroundings. Two nasty pot bunkers front left and right, make the approach a bit of a challenge, but two accurate and well thought-out shots will offer a chance of par or birdie. |

The 17th 612 yards Par 5, one of the longest par 5’s in Thailand, is a monster demanding accuracy and distance. It’s a three-stage hole for most, as a water hazard runs along the length of the right side, and a lake comes into play left on the tee shot. A precise lay-up is needed on the second shot as the lake protrudes into the fairway just short of a big tree and some bunkers. This leaves a relatively long third shot of between 160 and 190 yards if positioned correctly, but the green provides a generous target with little to guard it. Par is an acceptable score on this stroke index 1 hole. |
