The Blue Canyon Lakes Course is the 2nd golf course at Blue Canyon Country Club. Located close to the airport on the northern end of Phuket Island, the course is good for those arriving and/or departing the same day. Five sets of tees make this Phuket golf course suitable to a wide range of golfers from professionals to amateurs alike. The Lakes Course hole routing makes good use of meandering creeks and water-filled canyons created by abandoned open cast tin mining with natural land flow left relatively unchanged from the original jungle contours. The front 9 runs through a landscape of lakes and natural canyons, whilst the back 9 weaves its way around stands of rubber trees. When playing the Blue Canyon Lakes Course driving it in the fairway is important to have any chance at scoring well. Many of the approach shots are over small creeks or canyons that run across the fairways, and getting to the greens in regulation is only possible from a good lie. Facilities are a bit aging, but still are adequate for what is on offer. Caddies are mostly older, but well trained and also enjoy having a good laugh.
