The Blue Canyon Lakes Course is the 2nd golf course at Blue Canyon Country Club. Located close to the airport on the northern end of Phuket Island, the course is good for those arriving and departing the same day. Five sets of tees make this Phuket golf course suitable to a wide range of golfers from professionals to amateurs alike. Blue Canyon's Lakes Course, sister to the Canyon Course presents a formidable challenge for the average golfer both in terms of play and scenic surroundings. Among other things, the Blue Canyon Country Club has several times been voted the best golf courses in Asia.
When playing the Blue Canyon Country Club Lakes Course driving it in the fairway is important to have any chance at scoring well. Many of the approach shots are over small creeks or canyons that run across the fairways, and getting to the greens in regulation is only possible from a good lie. The Lakes Course hole routing makes good use of meandering creeks and water-filled canyons created by abandoned open cast tin mining with natural land flow left relatively unchanged from the original jungle contours. The front 9 runs through a landscape of lakes and natural canyons, whilst the back 9 weaves its way around stands of rubber trees.
The Lake Course as its name suggests, features water on 17 of its 18 holes. This course offers a very different game to its sister Canyon Course but is every bit as challenging and rewarding. The 18th hole is widely considered one of Thailand’s best finishing golf holes. Most Phuket visitors are better advised to play their second shots well short of the green and away from the jungle growing out of the open canyon fronting the green. With less blind shots and a more honest test of golf the Blue Canyon Country Club Lakes Course may even be the better of the two Blue Canyon golf courses. Moreover, golf carts are included and this makes playing the Lakes Course an excellent choice for the Phuket holiday golfer.
