Thai Muang Beach Golf
Course is the only championship course along the
Andaman Sea coast. In fact, it is the only seaside
course in Thailand. The layout is situated on
islands and lagoons by the sea. 12 holes feature
water carries and water comes into play on another
four. Pete Dye designed, dramatic holes, lush
fairways, breath-taking scenery. A very fine
Championship standard golf course, Par 72, 7,028 yards
unofficial rating: 70.7 off the blue tees.
 Designed
by Pete Dye of USA.
His signature railroad sleepers abound. ( I
wonder where he got them? There isn’t a railway
within a hundred miles.) Thai Muang really is a
lovely place to play golf, nothing to distract
you from your game. Every hole presents the
golfer with new problems to solve. While
presenting a challenge to the most experienced
golfer Pete Dye always offers the novice an
easier option. Golfers of every level of skill
can stand on the tee box and have a shot. At the
same time this can be the most challenging and
easiest course you will ever play. Wayward
shots will be severely punished.

Some say that
Thai Muang Beach Golf Course is Phuket’s best
kept secret, others say that it is just too far.
It is situated just over the bridge from Phuket
Island,
on the mainland in Phang-Nga Province,
about 30 minutes north from the airport. But
tourists are driving that far every day to catch
the boat to James Bond Island. And when you are
here on holiday, it is a very scenic drive |
