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.

Our troup comprised Aussie contingent from W.A.  Len Sykes local travel agent and Lucky, Spindly, Peter, Jerra and Matt.
We set forth in 2 flights, tee off around12.10 (its much better to start in the heat of the day and finish in the cool of the evening).   Many challenges around the course and definately worth the visit, some say the price is steep, perhaps fair comment if a local but if you are visiting once a year "who cares" it's about the challenge and the memories.
