Laguna Phuket Golf
Club,
Hole by Hole
Hole
#1 345 yards Par 4
This
short par 4 is an excellent starting point for the
golf course. Large trees line the right side of the
fairway, and the long hitters can gamble by cutting
the corner. The hole bends from left to right. The
straight hitter will be rewarded by an easy approach
into this flat but small green.
Hole
#2 507 yards Par 5
A
drive over the lagoon starts this hole as it follows
the natural land form up a small hill. The green is
tucked behind a ridge that runs the entire length of
the right side.
The
safe route on the second shot is down the center of
the fairway between the numerous traps that guard the
landing area. Long hitters may opt to carry the
coconut grove that hides the green.
Hole
#3 185 yards Par 3
With
the green perched on top of a small ridge, the
surrounding mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to
this medium length par 3. Well bunkered on the left
and back of the green, many golfers will choose to
play one club short to avoid the obvious troubles.
Hole
#4 414 yards Par 4
With
water running the entire left side of the hole, the
tee shot is very demanding, and the bunker on the
right defines the optimum placement. The two-tiered
green makes an interesting target.
Hole
#5 569 yards Par 5
The
long Par 5 is the most difficult on the golf course.
With water perilously close to the left side of the
landing area, golfers are wise to keep to the right on
their tee shot. Having successfully negotiated their
tee shots, the golfers must then master an uphill
second shot into a narrow landing area with bunkers on
the right and a coconut grove on the left. The short
third shot is uphill to a large green.
Hole
#6 418 yards Par 4
This
straight away par 4 looks easier than it plays. A
large bunkers absorbs the left side of the fairway.
Longer hitters can try to fly the bunker, however, a
tee shot short of the bunker leaves an open second to
this well protected green.
Hole
#7 220 yards Par 3
Definitely the longest par 3 on the course. Though it
plays slightly down hill, this hole requires a
masterful long iron shot to land on the green, as it
is well protected by bunkers on the left and water on
the right. However, the enormous green provides a
generous target.
Hole
#8 408 yards Par 4
Some
say this is the hardest hole on the golf course. With
water on the left and three gaping bunkers to the
right, a straight tee shot is the key to this long
dogleg right par 4. Once safely on the fairway, a
delicate approach must be played to this steep,
sloping green.
Hole
#9 428 yards Par 4
With
the Andaman Sea as the backdrop, the tee shot is quite
dramatic on the sharp dogleg left par 4. With the
green set into a small hillock, the approach shot is a
formidable challenge.
Hole
#10 444 yards Par 4
A
great golf hole. The nature of the back 9 holes is
dictated by the long 10th hole.
With
the green set out on a promontory in the surrounding
lake, the second shot is the most difficult iron shot
on the course. Between the lake and the green is a
sweeping bunker of almost 100 yards that beaches into
the water. A pin placement in the back right corner of
the green makes this a championship calibre hole.
Hole
#11 156 yards Par 4
Though this is the shortest hole on the course, it is
the most treacherous. Perched above the lake, the 11th
green is an intimidating target. Water will catch any
shots veering to the right, and large mounding
protects the left side. A chip from above the mounding
will be difficult to keep on the putting surface.
Hole
#12 422 yards Par 4
At
422 yards, this sharp dog-leg right around the
environmental reserve area demands accuracy. Bunkers
and a small creek define the left side of the driving
area, and a drive on the fairway is a must. The long
and straight hitters face the challenge of biting off
as much of the reserve area as their talent permits.
The circular green is in the middle of a large bunker
that engulfs the putting area. The short second shot
is a tough one.
Hole
#13 186 yards Par 3
The
adjacent mountains are a perfect backdrop to this
attractive hole. Players will want to hit one extra
club to avoid the large bunker that sits short and
left of the green. This undulating green presents a
challenge once on the putting surface.
Hole
#14 416 yards Par 4
Golfers beware on this short par 4. Though it looks
straight forward and simple, don’t think it is a
pushover. Water looms directly behind the green site,
so be sure to keep the ball in front of the flag
stick. Water comes into play on the tee shot, and a
long iron off the tee for placement is not a bad
decision.
Hole
#15 438 yards Par 4
This
hole offers quite a contrast to the relatively flat
nature of the Banyan Tree Club. The green site is
tucked into a large mound with the entry to the green
carved beautifully out of the natural land forms. Two
pot bunkers front the left and right of the green.
This hole is a challenge.
Hole
#16 167 yards Par 3
A
straight and accurate middle iron is required to reach
the green that is encased by twelve large bunkers.
With the dramatic views of the Andaman Sea, this is
the Banyan Tree Club’s most scenic hole.
Hole
#17 532 yards Par 5
This
narrow hole will challenge the world ‘s greatest
golfers. Both the drive and second shot must contend
with water, and the third is to an island green with a
lone bunker. The long and courageous can attempt to go
for the green on their second shot, but the percentage
player will take par and move to the home hole.
Hole#18 545 yards Par 5
The
second of the back-to-back par 5 finishing holes, the
long 18th is the final challenge of the
Banyan Tee Club. The tee shot is through a complex of
mounds into a tight landing zone. The environmental
reserve area secures the right side of the fairway,
and the long second shot must navigate a myriad of
bunkers. A boldly contoured green ensures interest on
the third shot. |
