15 minutes from Patong.

panoramic range of
peaks, and sandwiched
between the Katu
Waterfalls and Katu
Village the layout
surrounds the largest
lake on any golf course
in Phuket, Crystal
Lake, 48 acres in size,
and its smaller sister
lake, which give
golfers a refreshing
breeze off the water.
This is an 18 holes
course par 72, 6,555
yards palm tree-lined

island as the
refurbishment matures.

Red
Mountain Golf Course
www.redmountainphuket.com
The
Most Challenging golf
course in Phuket,
Thailand
This
brand new 18-hole
course is Loch
Palm’s sister
course.
Winding
its way through a truly
dramatic 1400 rai
former tin mine site in
the heart of Phuket,
Red Mountain is surely
one of Asia’s
most exciting new
courses. The course has
been cleverly routed to
take advantage of a
huge variety of
landforms and dizzying
elevation changes.
Scars left from the tin
mine era have been
imaginatively
incorporated into the
overall scheme,
creating a unique
character at the same
time as establishing an
indelible link with an
important era in the
Island’s past.
Designer
Jon Morrow, has created
a highly strategic and
challenging 6,900 yard
lay out to complement
the shorter and gentler
old Loch Palm Course.
While the course is
undoubtedly
challenging, numerous
risk and reward options
create a fun playing
environment, an
exhilarating test of
golf and a breathtaking
scenic tour around a
course destined to
become a golfing
landmark in the
region.
