From Phuket Town, follow route 402 to the northern end of Phuket, near to the airport. Turn left after km marker 27, which leads to Blue Canyon.
The Lakes course at Blue Canyon Country Club is a whole lot more than just a warm-up for the more renowned Canyon course. Equal in length to its sibling, at over 7,100 yards, the challenging Lakes also makes full use of the former tin mine workings ... and that means plenty of water in play!
The fairways here, some surprisingly generous, others demandingly tight, are pleasantly tree-lined, at least on those occasions when water in not present. If you need any help to appreciate the challenges of the Lakes course, look no further than the opening four holes. This testing quartet all require excellent shot-making and good course management if you want to get your round off to a good start ... and stay dry.
Built around and between many natural small lakes and ponds (the former tin mine workings), this out-and-back layout also contains many pleasant (and a few dramatic) elevation changes. On the back-nine the lakeside holes are complemented by others that take you into some wonderfully natural jungle habitats, where rubber trees are found.
Many players feel the Lakes course provides an easier-going and more relaxing round than the Canyon, although it shares many of its companion's traits, and is not without its challenges. The last and perhaps most memorable of these is a smaller version of the Canyon course's famous canyon, which fiercely protects the approach to the final green.

The deep lakes of Blue Canyon's Lakes course were originally created by open cast tin mining.
The Canyon course shot to fame when it was selected for the 1994 Johnnie Walker Classic (won by Greg Norman). Four years later it was Tiger Woods who emerged triumphant at Blue Canyon to take the same trophy. The Canyon course has hosted many other top level competitions, most recently in 2021 (see our Tournaments section >by Venue >Blue Canyon).

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
