Laguna Phuket Golf Club

Overview: Within the integrated Laguna Phuket destination lies an 18-hole resort course within the integrated Laguna Phuket destination on the island’s northwest coast. The current course page gives a par of 71 and a length of 6,756 yards, with undulating fairways, lagoons, native banyan trees and fast greens shaping the experience. It is designed to be enjoyable across a range of abilities, but the emphasis is on accurate positioning and controlled approach play rather than simply overpowering a wide resort layout. The course is closely connected to the hotels and hospitality facilities around it, making it one of Phuket’s most convenient golf-travel bases.

History: The golf operation dates to 1992 and grew from the rehabilitation of an abandoned tin-mining site into the Laguna Phuket resort. The course was comprehensively redesigned and reopened in January 2015, with Paul Jansen credited for the revised layout; older references identify Max Wexler and David Abell with the original course. That sequence explains why the current routing feels modern while the wider property still carries a strong environmental-reclamation story.

Did You Know? Laguna Phuket’s resort landscape was once considered too polluted for development after mining ended. A seven-year rehabilitation programme transformed the site into an integrated destination, so the golf course’s lagoons, planting and irrigated fairways sit inside a much larger reclamation project rather than an untouched tropical landscape.
