RED MOUNTAIN GOLF COURSE
PHUKET, THAILAND

The Most Relaxing golf course in Phuket, Thailand
Located in Kathu District just 7 kms. from Phuket Town and
Patong Beach, about 15 minutes from Patong.
Nestling below a 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 beauty, recently completed major re-designs and
multi-million dollar upgrades. The course is in great shape.
It is a very good layout and one that is beginning to rival
some of the best layouts on the island as the refurbishment
matures. You are required to put your thinking cap on and
keep perfect control of your game on this tightly routed
layout.
Red Mountain Golf Course
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.
