At Laguna Phuket Golf Club, you can enjoy the tranquility
of a tropical island setting, the challenge of a world-class golf course,
and the superb facilities within Laguna Phuket - Asia's first fully
integrated resort development.
Laguna Phuket Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-71 resort course, designed by Max
Wexler and David Abell, which challenges golfing enthusiasts of all
abilities. Measuring 6,663 yards from the back tees and 5,476 yards from the
forward tees, the course features a wealth of scenic lagoons, coconut groves
and undulating fairways, set against the dramatic backdrop of the
surrounding mountains and nearby sea.
Meandering
through a labyrinth of lagoons, the course requires golfers to play with
great accuracy, and to select clubs carefully. Water looms on 13 of the 18
holes and threatens to swallow any shot veering too far to the side. On
several holes, adventurous long hitters will certainly enjoy taking a
rewarding gamble by cutting corners, while on others holes, strategic iron
play is a must!
The signature par 3
sixteenth hole offers a green encased by a myriad of gaping bunkers, while
the short par 4 ninth hole looks deceptively easy, until you realize that
you must hit into the small island green. The par 5 seventeenth hole,
perhaps the most challenging, requires three long yet precise shots into a
large green. The fifteenth might make you feel as though you are playing in
the Rockies, as you watch your shot soar to the green, set against the
backdrop of the magnificent mountains.
Laguna Phuket Golf Club
also offers a wonderful opportunity for you to refine your game at its
extensive practice facilities. Features include a covered area for sun and
rain protection, a full length driving range, putting greens, practice
bunkers and chipping areas; you can work on both your short and long games.
The club also provides professional golf instruction.
With endless recreational options available, days pass with
blissful indecision. Enjoy a round of golf or a game of tennis, have a dip
in the swimming pools, try your luck at water sports or join classes in
meditation and tai chi. The more intrepid adventurer will take to the
outdoors and explore Phuket's neighboring islands with organized boat trips
and excursions. At Banyan Tree Phuket, you can do as much or as little as
you like, the choice is yours.
Pools
The wonderfully tranquil surroundings turn an early morning dip into a truly
invigorating experience. Swim a few laps in the 40m-long lap pool, soak in
the sublimely peaceful atmosphere and let your cares drift away. Take part
in a scuba diving demonstration and experience the sensation of
weightlessness, or venture into the rapid water canal and bubble mats of the
free-form pool, followed by a rest in the lounge chairs.
Tennis
Test your tennis skills at our weekly tournaments. Whether you are an
amateur player or professional, everyone is welcome at these friendly and
fun challenges. Of course, you can tilt the balance of winning in your favor
with advice from our tennis coach and a few practice serves on our three
courts the night before.
Activity Program
At Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts, we provide rejuvenation and relaxation. To
complement our spa treatments, we have devised a range of activities and
classes that will enhance your feeling of well being. From lessons in scuba
diving, sailing, canoeing and windsurfing to classes in meditation, tai chi,
aerobics, aqua toning and batik painting, our activity program will help to
restore your balance of body, mind and spirit.
Library
In case you left your favorite novel behind or you want to read up on
fascinating Thailand, our library houses an interesting collection of books,
newspapers, magazines, videotapes and compact discs. Relax with a good read
in the serenely decorated reading room, or borrow a copy and retreat to the
privacy of your own villa. Our specially trained Resort Hosts in the library
are pleased to book recreational facilities and tours for you.
Laguna Tours
Phuket's environs are blessed with legendary beauty and magical places like
Phang Nga Bay, the Phi Phi Islands and the Similans. Whether you are looking
for glorious deserted beaches, crystal clear waters, spectacular underwater
life, majestic limestone cliffs or tropical forests, Laguna Tours offers
truly exhilarating excursions. You can go sailing, snorkeling, scuba diving,
sea canoeing, deep-sea fishing and island hopping; or stay on land and try
horse riding, elephant trekking and a jungle safari.

beginners to advanced. Quest Recreation offers courses in High Ropes and
