Blue Canyon Country Club Lakes Course
Blue Canyon Country Club – Lakes Course Course Overview
Blue Canyon Country Club – Lakes Course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout in Thalang, northern Phuket. Designed by Yoshikazu Kato, it uses broad fairways, large greens and an extensive network of lakes across former mining land. The course measures 7,129 yards from the black tees and offers four official tee sets, creating a championship-scale layout with more room from the tee than its water-heavy identity initially suggests.

Location & Getting There
What It Is Like to Play the Lakes Course?
The Lakes Course begins with generous sightlines and broad landing areas, but water quickly becomes the constant visual and strategic presence. The round moves across gently shaped ground with lakes framing tee shots and approaches rather than relying on steep elevation. Large greens offer usable space, yet their edges often sit close to water or bunkering. The experience feels open and playable until the closing hole tightens the decisions and demands a precise finish.
The Former Mining Landscape Behind the Lakes Course
Blue Canyon was developed across abandoned open-cast tin-mining land bordered by rubber plantations. Rather than flattening the property into a conventional resort layout, the Lakes Course retained existing land flow, wooded areas and water-filled depressions as the foundation of its identity. Those water bodies are not decorative additions: they shape play on 17 holes, while the surrounding vegetation keeps the course connected to the wider northern Phuket landscape.

What Golfers Say About Blue Canyon Country Club Lakes Course
We reviewed recurring public golfer feedback to identify the themes players mention most often about this course.
The Lakes Course is more forgiving from the tee than the Canyon Course, but water comes into play on almost every hole, making positioning and course management important while wind can add another challenge.
Caddies receive predominantly positive feedback for friendliness and course knowledge, although some golfers advise relying less heavily on them for putting lines; pro-shop and restaurant service also attract positive comments.
Conditioning has varied during 2026, with February golfers reporting wet areas, uneven tees and inconsistent greens before much stronger conditions later in the year, while the locker-room facilities are occasionally described as dated.
Fairways of Eden Take
Blue Canyon Country Club - Lakes Course is a strong Phuket choice for golfers who want strategic water-heavy golf and championship character without the Canyon Course’s tighter, more punishing test; it is particularly appealing to mid-handicappers who still want plenty of decision-making from the tee.
Based on recurring themes in publicly available golfer feedback, including Google Maps reviews. Feedback last reviewed August 2026.
Lakes Course Design and Strategy
Yoshikazu Kato designed the Lakes Course around generous driving areas followed by more exacting approach decisions. Water repeatedly narrows the useful side of a fairway, so the safest tee shot does not always provide the clearest angle into the green. Large putting surfaces reduce the need for tiny targets, but their placement beside lakes, bunkers and shaped surrounds makes distance control important. The strategic depth comes from choosing how much water to challenge while preserving a full view and comfortable yardage for the next shot.
How to Play the Lakes Course
Choose Comfortable Tees
Use the official tee set that keeps repeated water carries comfortable rather than selecting tees only by total yardage.
Preserve the View
Favour landing areas that preserve a clear view of the green, even when a longer route appears available.
Control Approach Distance
Large greens reward accurate yardage control because misses near their water-facing edges can become costly quickly.
Use Local Guidance
Confirm carry distances, safe targets and green contours with your caddie before committing to aggressive lines.
The Defining Finish: Lakes Course Hole 18
Hole 18 (Par 4): The final hole is the course’s clearest verified signature test. A solitary tree divides the fairway options: the higher left side gives a more open view of the small green, while the right can accommodate a longer drive but leaves the target partly concealed. The second shot must negotiate a green set between rust-coloured canyon walls, stepped mounding and a water-filled ravine, with one bunker offering limited margin on the left. Its combination of route choice, restricted visibility and demanding approach explains why Asian Golf Monthly named it Best Par Four in Asia in 2003.
