GOLF


For such as small island, Phuket owns a large selection of high-quality golf courses. There are six golf clubs altogether, owning ten golf courses between them ranging from 9-holes to full 18-hole championship courses. The prices for golf in Phuket can be quite expensive in relative terms when compared to Europe, America and Australia, but the conditions and facilities are excellent. The cheapest way to play the courses would be to tag onto a member, because the green fees can be slashed by a third when playing a round with the member. However, this is not always possible, so by using our information you can contact the courses directly. There is also the option of contacting local Phuket companiesthat can arrange rounds of golf and transportation for you. This can be an ideal stress free option.


Banyan Tree Golf Course – Laguna Phuket
The golf magazine, Asian Golf Monthly, rated Banyan Tree Golf Course in the ‘Top Ten Best Golf Resorts in Asian'. This par-71, 18-hole golf course is Phuket's only resort-based golf club. Featuring a scenic environment built upon natural lagoons, the Laguna Golf Club owns undulating fairways and hazardous water features to manoeuvre around. The mountainous backdrops and nearby Andaman Ocean creates wonderful conditions to play a leisurely round or two. The golf club is situated at the Laguna Phuket Resort within close proximity to Bang Tao and Surin at the northwest of the island.

Blue Canyon Country Club
The Blue Canyon Country Club has become Phuket's most famous golf club, with its two top-quality championship courses. The world-famous Canyon Course and its adjoining Lakes Course are the proverbial golfer's paradise. Top names in world golf such as Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Fred Couples and Retief Goosen have all played the Canyon course in Asian Tour Events such as the Johnnie Walker Classic. Both courses are tree-lined with carpeted fairways and dangerous water hazards. The Canyon course is infinitely more difficult than the Lakes, although both are tough tests for players of all handicaps. The canyon course, as the name might suggest, is built on a natural canyon, which is home to signature holes such as the 13, 14 and 17. If you have come to Phuket to enjoy a round, you are doing yourself an injustice by not visiting the world famous Blue Canyon Country Club, situated within close proximity to Phuket International Airport in the far north of the island.

Loch Palm Golf Club
At the Loch Palm Golf Club at Kathu, you have the choice of two high-quality golf courses at your disposal. The long-established Loch Palm Golf Course and the recently built Red Mountain Golf Course are both supremely constructed courses set to test even the best players. The Loch Palm Golf Course is centred around its Crystal Lake, which is a massive 48 acres in size. This 18-hole, 72-par golf course owns 6,555 yards of tree-lined surroundings with the mountains as a backdrop. With its sneakily hidden bunkers and tricky water features that come in to play on the majority of holes, this course is better suited to high handicappers or those who enjoy a scenic round. The Red Mountain Gold Course on the other hand is a highly testing venture meandering its way through dramatic scenery on the 1,400-rai site of a former tin mine. The immense elevated holes make this golf course probably the most aesthetically pleasing on the island. The course has been dubbed ‘the most exciting new course in Asia'.

Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa
Golfing demigod, Jack Nicklaus, designed the Phuket branch of the world-famous Mission Hills brand. How is that for name-dropping! The Mission Hills Golf Course is one of the flattest in Phuket, but nonetheless is still a testing experience. This 18-hole golf course is set over an area of 6,806 yards of Paspalum Sea Isle 1 grass fairways and Paspalum Sea Isle 2000 grass greens. One of the unique features of the course is that 9 holes are actually floodlit and can be played at night. The course is situated oceanside in the Amphur Thalang region of the island in the northeast, within close proximity to Phuket International Airport. The facilities at Mission Hills include an expansive spa and lavish resort.

Phuket Country Club
The Phuket Country Club in Kathu owns two golf courses, which are the best value for money on the island. The Old Course is the main 18-hole course that defines the club, and the 9-hole Country Club Course is a water-laden and tricky course that might require an extra trip to the club shop for more balls. The Old Course is one of the most popular courses on the island and is centred around the large lake. This tree and jungle-laden course is best enjoyed by high handicappers because of its wide fairways and very playable holes. The par-5 10th hole is a dramatic challenge that circumnavigates the entirety of the lake. You can actually drive the 10th green in one shot, but believe me you will have to be a massive hitter. The Old Course provides an enjoyable golfing experience. The Country Club 9-Hole Course on the other hand is very difficult with water features coming into play on nearly every hole for every shot. You will have to be striking the ball well to obtain a good score on this beauty of a course.

Phunaka Golf Course & Golf Academy
This is Phuket's newest built golf course, situated opposite Chalong Temple off Choafa Road West. Although this 9-hole course is in its early stages and will need more time to grow into its surroundings, its value for money prices and mountainous scenery still makes it a great place for a quick round. Alongside the array of water hazards and sand traps, the greens and fairways are in good condition for a course so young. The course is also floodlit, so it matters not what time the sun sets because golf is available around the clock. The added bonus of visiting Phunaka is the brand new driving range facilities and a golf academy where affordable lessons can be purchased from a PGA pro.

SAILING


As one could imagine, Sailing in Phuket is a popular pastime tourists and expatriates alike. Phuket is very fortunate to be positioned beside the Andaman Sea, being one of the best places in the world for sailing or to be used as a base to explore the surrounding regions. The subtropical climate is the perfect environment for sailing, especially with the outlaying islands that surround Phuket.

FISHING


The quality of fishing in and around Phuket is often cast in the shade by the more popular activities available on the island. Those in the know will inform you that Phuket has some of the best deep-sea and sport fishing options available anywhere. There is a plethora of catch within your scope when fishing in the Andaman Sea, such as sailfish, Blue and black marlin, dog-tooth tuna, jacks, giant trevally and swordfish have been caught in the area. The island's catch-and-release policy protects the marine life and ensures that generations to come can enjoy the same environment and fishing conditions.
Sportfishing
The Andaman Ocean is a hotbed for game fishing, whether you are trawling around the nearby Racha Island or exploring further afield around the Similan Islands. Favourite game fishing destinations include the Andaman Islands, Surin Islands and Koh Rock Island. Racha Island and the Surin Islands are the easiest places to fish location wise, but a trek out to the Similans or the Andaman Islands will take much longer but is more rewarding long-term. All major tour operators can organize a trip game fishing, or alternatively, you and your friends could charter a boat from the numerous boat charter companies and explore at your own pace.

SHOOTING


Phuket Shooting Range

Check out and try out the arsenal of weaponry such as AK-47s, M-16s, Colt .45s, Smith and Wesson .38s, 9mms, and .22 magnums. Fire away at the bulls-eye and outdoor and human falling plates until your heart is content. The price range depends upon the amount of ammunition, gun type and the equipment you use. Trained staff are on hand to give you advice, make sure things run smoothly and that all safety procedures are followed.

JET SKI


If long-tail boats and swimming are not fast enough to quench your thirst for adrenalin, renting out a jet-ski might be right up your street. Patong and Kata Beaches are the most jet-ski friendly places to rent and use these powerful machines. There are numerous ‘companies' hiring out jet-skis directly on these two beaches and one can be obtained with ease. However, there are some things you must understand before renting a jet-ski:

JET SKI JET SKI JET SKI


Make sure the jet-ski you hire has no damage, because this can and has been blamed on tourists who did nothing wrong. This has resulted in big cash settlements or threatening behaviour from the jet-ski owners.
Check the jet-ski is undamaged with the owner beside you. This will ensure the owner knows you understand what you are dealing with and will not take any scam aimed towards you.
If you do happen to become involved in a jet-ski scam, have the tourist police telephone numbers handy and call them before you hand over any money.
Be careful when driving a jet-ski. There are designated jet-ski areas, but you want to be sure nobody is swimming in the vicinity.

DIVING


You would naturally assume that Phuket's main tourism draw is its sundrenched holiday beach locations, its exotic culture or its vibrant and alternative nightlife entertainment. Diving actually is at the top of the list in regards to pulling tourists towards the island. Phuket, the surrounding islands and the coral reefs are known as being some of the best in the world. One only has to visit Karon, Kata or Patong and you will find hundreds of dive shop companies plying their trade on the island. It is natural for visitors to simply walk into a dive shop and organize lessons and PADI courses at will. However, you are safer to understand every aspect of the Phuket dive industry before you even visit the island so you are fully prepared to make the most out of this once in a lifetime experience.
Diving Destinations
The Shark Point (Hin Mu Sang) – As its name might suggest, this dive location is where you have the opportunity to see the sharks in their natural habitat, mainly sharks of the Leopard variety. This colourful dive location is very popular and easy to reach.
King Cruiser Wreck – The King Cruiser was the unfortunate 85x25 metre passenger ferry that sunk a few hundred metres from Shark Point. This is an interesting wreck to delve and explore.
Anemone Reef – Less than a mile away from Shark Point, this large single submerged rock is covered in sea anemones, hence the name.
Racha Island – This is one of the most advertised dive areas surrounding Phuket, offering clear and easy dive conditions. This is the ideal spot for snorkelling or diving beginners and a great place to observe the colourful marine life.
Similan Islands – Simply one of the most famous dive locations in and around Southern Asia. With its majestic National Park, amazing coral reefs and the teeming tropical marine life, the Similans are the place to visit if you are a serious diver or seeking out endless natural beauty.
Richelieu Rock – Lauded as Thailand's best dive site, which is some accolade in its own right, Richelieu Rock is the best place to observe Manta Rays, Whale Sharks and a vast array of tropical marine life around its colourful corals.
Koh Surin – If you are scuba diving enthusiast, Koh Surin provides the best location one could imagine. Giant clams, marine shrimps, manta rays and sea turtles are all on the agenda when snorkelling around Koh Surin.
Burma Banks – In the nearby waters of Myanmar, you will find the famous Burma Banks dive site. Open-ocean diving is on the agenda at Burma Banks, where you can explore the Rainbow, Big, Silvertip, and Roe Bank, plus Coral and Heckford Banks are where you are guaranteed to encounter sharks. You may also catch an occasional glimpse at the grey reef shark if it's your lucky day.

BOAT CHARTERS


Every man and his dog who visited Phuket decided to take an organized boat trip to Phi Phi or the outlaying island within the close vicinity. What you might not have wondered is you and your holiday companions could charter your own boat and explore the delights of the Andaman Ocean or Phang Nga at your own will and pace. Nothing is better than being in control of your own destiny with a boat, skipper and crew at your beckon call. You might want to explore the deep blue abyss and organize a game-fishing trip or just relax on the crystal waters in your own luxury yacht and play the millionaire lifestyle for a day or two. Of course, to make such a thing happen, you will have to know which companies are available to charter boats. This is why our informative list of boat charters is here.
