Golf Phuket

Some many, many years ago Phuket was underdeveloped as far as good hotels, resorts and restaurants were concerned. And at that time the best option, some might say the only option, was Patong beach. Many, many years ago there was no golf development on Phuket at all. None. There was one place on Surin beach where you could whack a ball amongst weeds. WOW. How things have changed. Phuket is not only home to the finest collection of hotels, resorts and eateries on any paradise island, it has been wonderfully developed and aimed directly at the golfing fraternity. What is there now, seven, eight great courses on Phuket? Heck there surely is a course not too far from your hotel. www.thailandgolfmaps.com has a pretty up to date picture. Check it out and see if anything is missing. Bottom line? Phuket is about more than beaches and beauty. Golf is also a main attraction.
