Blue Canyon Country Club – Lakes Course in Phuket
Located just ten minutes from Phuket International Airport, the Lakes Course at Blue Canyon Country Club is a gem for golfers looking to enjoy a scenic and rewarding round of golf in Thailand. With water hazards on 17 out of 18 holes, wide fairways, and dramatic tropical surroundings, this championship par-72 layout offers a well-balanced experience that blends beauty, challenge, and enjoyment. The course stretches across 7,129 yards and was designed to offer a different character than its sibling, the more rugged Canyon Course. Here, the design emphasizes thoughtful play over raw power, making it a top pick for mid-handicap and returning golfers who want a visually engaging round that still requires strategy.
A Golf Course in Phuket Defined by Water and Natural Flow
True to its name, the Lakes Course features water on nearly every hole. However, the design is fair and never punishes players arbitrarily. Each hazard is positioned to encourage smart decision-making without overwhelming casual golfers. The routing flows naturally through gently rolling terrain, giving the course a more relaxed rhythm than many championship tracks. While the fairways are generous and inviting, the approach shots demand attention, especially when the pin is tucked close to the edge of a lake or flanked by greenside bunkers. Throughout the round, golfers are treated to sweeping views of the jungle and nearby mountains, all while navigating palm-lined fairways and reflective lakes that define the character of the course.

Signature Holes at the Blue Canyon Lakes Course
Hole 4 (Par 3) This hole is a visual highlight of the round and one of the most photographed on the course. Water surrounds the green on three sides, making club selection and confidence off the tee absolutely essential. A short hole by distance, but a big test of accuracy and mental focus. Hole 14 (Par 5) A long par-5 that rewards strategic play. The landing area off the tee is generous, but water and bunkers creep in as you approach the green. Many players are tempted to go for it in two, but the risk can quickly outweigh the reward. Hole 18 (Par 4) The closing hole is both beautiful and dramatic. Water runs down the entire left side, from tee to green, while bunkers protect the right. The uphill approach requires precision and nerve, providing a memorable finish to the round.
