Red Mountain Golf Club Phuket
Opened in 2007, Red Mountain Golf Club is widely regarded as Phuket’s premier golfing destination and one of the most visually stunning courses in Thailand. Designed by Jonathan Morrow and Al Tikkanen, the course was carved through a dramatic former tin mine site, creating a rugged, unforgettable landscape of towering red cliffs, deep canyons, and lush tropical vegetation.
Red Mountain is celebrated not only for its incredible scenery but also for its challenging and strategic layout that tests golfers of all levels.
The elevation changes, blind shots, ravines, and tricky greens demand creativity, precision, and bold shot-making.
If you are seeking a golf experience that combines breathtaking beauty, exciting risk-reward holes, and impeccable maintenance, Red Mountain Golf Club stands unmatched in Phuket and Southeast Asia.
Course Layout & Design
Red Mountain features 18 championship holes, par 72, measuring 6,781 yards from the back tees.
The course utilizes the dramatic natural elevation changes of the former tin mine land, with some holes playing sharply uphill or downhill, and several spectacular views across the jungle and distant coastline.
Shot-making is key, as many holes offer aggressive lines over hazards with big rewards — but punishment awaits any miscalculations.
Signature Holes Include:
-
Hole 6 (Par 4): A stunning short par-4 played downhill to a green nestled among cliffs and bunkers — reachable for big hitters but dangerous.
-
Hole 8 (Par 3): One of Thailand’s most photographed holes — a breathtaking tee shot over a deep jungle ravine.
-
Hole 17 (Par 5): A majestic hole with a dramatic uphill drive and strategic bunkering leading to a tricky elevated green.
