Blue Canyon Country Club- Lake Course

 

Blue Canyon Country club is located just seven minutes from Phuket International Airport, and close to all of the famous beach resorts on the west coast of Phuket.

It is perfectly positioned for the Travelling Golfer!

 

The Canyon Course opened in a blaze of glory in 1991 winning recognition (& awards) all over the world.

The Lakes is the second course at Blue Canyon Country Club, opening in 1999.

Like it's older sister, the Lakes course was designed by Yoshi Kato.

The Lakes course does not have as much elevation change as the Canyon course, and plays over lower lying land.

But lakes in the gullies and gorges are similarly used as a major visual and strategic component of the design.

 

Whilst the Canyon course is framed by thick jungle, the Lakes course is less heavily treed and more open is some areas.

It is also shorter and more playable- hence it's popularity with the punters...

The Lakes course underwent a total renovation in 2006 eradicating some blind shots and generally upgrading the course design as well as the playing surfaces.

At the time of our visit it was in better condition than the Canyon course.

The front nine holes is routed through a landscape of lakes and natural canyons, whilst the back nine winds through a plantation of rubber trees.

But the constant is water- with approach shots having to carry creeks, or canyons to get home in regulation.

 

The finishing hole- a long uphill par 4 with an open canyon in front of the green is certainly a great way to finish.

A par here will have you enjoying your refreshments all the more...
