The course will complement rather than compete with her older sister.
Few sites have presented the Design Team with such a dramatic raw canvas on which to sculpt a memorable Golf Course. The routing explores the four corners of the former tin mine property with dizzying elevation changes representing a memorable tour of Phuket's historical landscapes. Holes have been sculpted into and through rugged 'rock' cliffs and canyons, perched on precipitous ledges climbing to a high plateau cut away from the mountain by decades of mining. This is undoubtedly the highest Golf on Phuket Island! Views are as dramatic as one would expect; sounds of Tropical Rainforest forest a reminder of forgotten times.

Not long by modern standards, the course will stretch to just under 7,000 yards from the 'Pro' tees playing to a standard par 72. Keeping the course under this nominal 'Championship Course' yardstick has allowed us to offer all levels of players the chance to enjoy the Golf Experience here. Par 4 lengths stretch the full range of distances; each nine has an exciting 'drivable' par 4 and another 'shorty' that all can enjoy. But there are also 4 'two shotters' ranging from 440 to 470 yards.

The par 3's are not only demanding to play, but also to visually absorb. A hole with a vertical drop of 40 ms. from tee to green through towering trees may be just too much to imagine. This is Golf on steroids.

Par 5's are also unique. We have not started with an idea of what type of holes we wanted. We just fit the holes to what nature gave us. They are uphill and downhill. They are long and short. They are all memorable.
The tin mine theme is never far away. Rugged scars from open cast mining look strangely comfortable on a course which celebrates rather than tries to hide the past. Cliffs and gullies etched in sandy tailings over the years by storm waters feature on several holes; nature's waste bunkers belittle the work of man. Towering cliffs cut out of the hills and flooded canyons frame several other holes. Mounds of waste tailings have left a unique 'moonscape' that we could never reproduce. Mini-alluvial plains also provide occasional flat holes.
Nature has healed itself and left a pleasantly surprising combination 'Tin Mine' landscapes and vegetation.
Great care has been taken to route holes so that players have to face the full range of natures hazards; wind, water, slopes and elevation changes.
The concept of variety has been carried into all areas. There are large and small greens; some with subtle breaks, some with wilder contours. The latest Bermuda Hybrid grasses, noted for their shade tolerance, will allow fast, smooth putting surfaces even through Phuket's rainy season.
Fairways and tees are grassed with Seashore Paspalum; Golf's most environmentally friendly and opulent playing surface. No expense has been spared on drainage; fairways have been capped throughout with a deep, clean sand layer allowing perfect playing surfaces just minutes after the heaviest rains.
Wild, local grasses have been used in some rough areas to complete the natural look.

We believe our new Golf Course will become THE Golf Course on Phuket Island and look forward to welcoming you to the challenge.
