The World Golf Awards recently named Banyan Tree Phuket as Thailand’s Best Golf Hotel in 2016. As the first win in the prestigious golf awards, it adds to the list of accolades for the luxury resort and its 18-hole Laguna Golf Phuket course which was also crowned Asia’s Best Golf Course and Thailand’s Best Golf Course for the 2nd consecutive year.

The irresistible appeal of Laguna Golf Phuket comes from its tropical setting within Laguna Phuket’s 1,000-acre parkland. The links are a short walk from a three-kilometre stretch of pristine beach at Bang Tao Bay, with Banyan Tree Phuket resort just steps away. Featuring scenic lagoons, coconut groves and undulating fairways with surrounds comprising Phuket mountains, the course is a tranquil holiday paradise.

Generous fairways and well-placed bunkers add an element of strategy to the fully upgraded par-71 course, with long tail boats, native plants and wildlife infusing a local sense of place to enhance the experience. The USGA specification greens provide superb quality playing surfaces, with well-designed contouring and run-off areas that offer many shot options.

The combination of expertly-designed yet well-manicured golf course with a host of modern clubhouse facilities, luxurious Thai-inspired villas, delectable cuisine, renowned Banyan Tree Spa and a secluded atmosphere have made Banyan Tree Phuket an idyllic golf retreat.
