Description
Mission Hills Phuket Golf Resort – Phuket
Designed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus, Mission Hills Golf Resort Phuket is a breathtaking seaside course that offers a unique and memorable golfing experience along the Andaman Sea. Opened in 2004, this 18-hole layout showcases the natural coastal beauty of Phuket with sparkling ocean vistas, open breezy fairways, and distinctive white sand bunkers.
Located on Phuket’s northeast coast, Mission Hills is easily accessible from both the airport and Phuket town. The course’s seaside holes provide one of the few true "ocean golfing" experiences in Thailand, creating a relaxing yet strategic round where the ocean winds and panoramic views come into constant play.
Whether you're seeking dramatic scenery, Jack Nicklaus design pedigree, or a leisurely tropical golf day, Mission Hills Golf Resort Phuket is a must-visit for golf lovers on the island.
Course Layout & Design
Mission Hills features an 18-hole, par-72 championship layout measuring 6,806 yards from the back tees.
The course offers wide, resort-style fairways with strategic water hazards, large greens, and abundant bunkering — including Nicklaus’ signature use of sprawling, high-lipped white sand traps.
While not overly long, the course's coastal winds and cleverly positioned hazards demand strategic shot placement and good course management.
The ocean-side holes are the stars of the round, offering stunning views and a breezy, invigorating playing experience.
Signature Holes Include:
-
Hole 2 (Par 4): A beautiful dogleg along the mangroves, where ocean winds can heavily influence club selection.
-
Hole 4 (Par 3): A stunning seaside short hole with the Andaman Sea visible directly behind the green.
-
Hole 12 (Par 5): A long par-5 featuring expansive white sand bunkers and strategic water hazards, testing risk-reward decision-making.
