Loch Palm Golf Club

It’s no secret that Phuket is a world class golfing destination, with eight glorious golf courses offering stunning landscapes, challenging play and a unique experience for golfers of all skill sets, it’s not hard to see why. While each course offers players something different, there is something special that just keeps drawing people back to Loch Palm Golf Club in Kathu. Maybe it’s the well maintained greens, or maybe the balance between challenge and fairness, or perhaps it’s the beautiful Crystal Lake that runs along the first nine holes. Either way, it’s not hard to see why more and more golfers keep returning!..

Conveniently located more or less in the center of the island, Loch Palm Golf Course offers a challenging course with water hazards on thirteen holes, 67 daunting bunkers and nerve wracking hang times, as you wait to see whether your ball will hit the green, veer off into the surrounding jungles, or take a plunge into the lake. As mentioned above, the front nine holes curve along the course main attraction, the Crystal Lake, before taking you to the back nine. While the fairway landing areas are pretty generous, the tightly routed layouts and cool breezes coming off the lake challenge you to keep firm control of your game, or find yourself in one of the many dreaded bunkers, just waiting to capture your wayward ball.

The Loch Palm Golf Club clubhouse is probably the most serene on the whole island, boasting spectacular views of Crystal Lake as well as the surrounding mountains and lush jungles. The clubhouse itself offers a restaurant with a large dining area, a pro shop, a spa, as well as an enlarged chipping and putting green. There are around 300 full or yearly members at the club, most of them happy to share a game with you, if you are on your own. There are also 250 very knowledgeable caddies who can help you with your game, if required. The price of a round vary depending on the number of golfers in your group and the time of the year. Those of you looking for a relaxing game of golf in a tranquil setting should look no further, as Loch Palm has been voted the most relaxing course in all of Phuket.
