Why Phuket for a Luxury Golf trip
Phuket is Thailand's most developed island golf destination, with several well-regarded courses within a short drive of each other. Blue Canyon Country Club is the long-established name, carved through old tin-mining land with water hazards in play, while Red Mountain Golf Club is known for dramatic elevation changes and rock outcrops. Bang Tao and the northwest coast make a convenient base, and caddies are standard on Thai courses.
Thailand's largest island sits on the Andaman Sea, its west coast lined with sheltered bays and its waters leading to the limestone towers of Phang Nga Bay. Phuket's luxury is varied and polished: secluded hillside villas, beachfront resorts with big-name dining, yacht charters to outlying islands, and spa culture grounded in Thai massage traditions.
When to go: November to April is the dry, high season, with calm seas, sunshine and the best conditions for boating and snorkeling. The southwest monsoon from May to October brings rain, rougher water on west-coast beaches and lower occupancy.
