Loch Palm Golf Club

Holes 18 | Par 72 | Length 5994 m / 6555 y | Type Parkland | Architect Dr. Sukitti Klangwisai

A long-time Phuket favourite where a dry ball should ensure a good score

Spectacularly set in a basin surrounded by mountainous jungle, Loch Palm Golf Club has been a firm favourite on the Phuket golf tour since its inception in 1993. More straightforward than some of its more illustrious competitors - but still with enough challenges to test golfers of all abilities thanks largely to the loch itself - this is a hugely enjoyable course.

Keeping your ball out of water should be your main objective, and if you can achieve this first time around then you are ahead of the curve. On the front nine the loch and its associated tributaries are frequently in play, often cutting into the fairway ensuring that even the straightest of drives can end up being punished. Off line you can also find yourself amongst the numerous palm trees which helped give the course its name, but they are never so densely packed together that recovery is impossible. The 4th hole, a long par three over water to a semi-island green, is the pick of the front 9.

The most memorable holes come towards the end. The 14th is a short par-3 with an elevated tee shot to an island green; it is tricky to pick the right club, and it takes some time to find out if you made the right choice as your ball seems to hang in the air for eternity before (hopefully) finding the safety of the green. The 16th is another par-3 where anything right will be swallowed up by water and a sloping two-tier green means that not all balls that land on the green stay there.

While the overall condition of the course is excellent, particularly given much traffic it sees, one small complaint is the inconsistency of the greens. A few of them have been relaid and play much faster, which means it can be easy to get caught out. Thankfully the caddies are excellent, so we suggest you pay attention to what they suggest!

Loch Palm can get very crowded at weekends so midweek play is advisable. The clubhouse has been recently renovated and the changing rooms, pro-shop and the restaurant are all excellent. There’s also a unique driving range where you hit floating balls over a lake.

A small on-site resort caters for those wanting to stay overnight and hit the course early in the morning, but if you’re including Loch Palm Golf Club on your Phuket golf holiday, you’re better off staying in one of the beach areas where there’s more to do.

Straightforward layout. Definitely not a high end course

Okay overall conditions. Putting and chipping green is horrid. Course is pretty flat and water comes into play on most holes. Staff and caddies wonderful

Enjoyable but not one of the more challenging courses in Phuket

Reviewed by ; on
Having had the benefit of playing other courses I found Loch Palm to be a little less interesting and challenging. It certainly wasn’t a 3000 bht well spent

Challenging layout

Reviewed by ; on
I'd like to give it better than a 7 out of 10 but the greens were goofy. Half were one type of grass the first 5 holes then 4 holes on the back were super slow.. typical wet fairways muddy golf balls.. id play it again for 50 usd. Caddie very good.. good company a couple of members.. 3 handi cap player..Bruno Diaz

Nice place, the begin is comfortable. It got a bit crowded as seemingly lot of people wanted to play alone… caddie didn‘t speak much english. But I would and maybe willl. Come back.

Great Golf course and facilities. Water Driving range to warm up prior to the game. Very nice palm trees landscape. In short, a nice golf course to play with experienced caddies and very friendly staff. Will definitely come back to play at Loch Palm Phuket! Thanks again GolfSavers for the great organisation. I have already booked my next game with you. Cheers and happy golfing!
