Golf where you already are
If you stay in Bang Tao, Laguna or Surin, this is the course you can reach before breakfast. Inside the Laguna complex, next to Banyan Tree and the beach.
Forgiving, not boring
The Paul Jansen redesign kept fairways wide for holiday swings but defended the greens, then the Asian Tour came in 2021 and proved the card can bite.
The numbers that matter
18 holes
Lagoon and parkland routing, USGA-spec greens.
The redesign
Course fully rebuilt, completed in 2015.
Asian Tour host
The Laguna Phuket Championship was decided here.
West coast
Inside the Laguna Phuket integrated resort.
The west coast’s home course.
Laguna Golf Phuket sits inside Laguna Phuket, Asia’s first integrated destination resort, sharing its lagoons with Banyan Tree, Angsana, Dusit Thani and the rest of the complex. The original early-90s layout was completely rebuilt under designer Paul Jansen, reopening in 2015 as the par 71 played today.
Water threads through the round without strangling it: lagoon carries where the card needs teeth, width where holiday golfers need a break. In December 2021 the course hosted the Asian Tour’s Laguna Phuket Championship, won by Thailand’s Phachara Khongwatmai, which settled any argument about whether resort golf here is serious golf.
Course card
Three things that shape a Laguna round
No accounts, no fuss. Tell us what you want and we handle the course, the caddie and the cart.
Lagoons set the rhythm
Water appears early and returns often, but almost always beside the line rather than across it. Play your normal game and it photographs better than it punishes.
Greens are the test
The USGA-spec surfaces run quicker and truer than most island courses. Approach putts from the wrong tier are where the card leaks.
Five minutes from your towel
For west-coast stays this is the logistics win: morning round, lunch at the clubhouse, beach by two. Golf Hub’s simulator bays are minutes away for rainy days.

What's in the green fee, what isn't
Thailand does golf a little differently from the West. Here’s what’s usually bundled into the price — and the one thing first-timers always ask about.
In the green fee
- ✓ 18 holes through the lagoons
- ✓ Caddie fee, cash tip on top as usual
- ✓ Cart on the standard rate
- ✓ Range access varies by package, confirm at booking
Usually extra
- + Caddie tip (cash, paid directly — see below)
- + Club rental, shoes and glove
- + Single-cart upgrade (one cart each)
- + Transfers, food & drinks, insurance
About the caddie
Caddies are mandatory at Laguna and unusually polished, befitting the resort. The fee rides inside the green fee; the cash tip on top, commonly 300 to 500 THB, goes straight to your caddie. They will also save you at least two putts on the tiered greens.
