Winding its way through a truly dramatic 1,400 rai former tin mine site in the heart of Phuket, Red Mountain is surely one of Asia’s most exciting courses. The layout has been cleverly routed to take advantage of a huge variety of landforms and dizzying elevation changes. Scars left from the tin mine era have been imaginatively incorporated into the overall scheme, creating a unique character while establishing an indelible link with an important era in the Island’s past.

Designed by Jon Morrow and co-designed by Al Tikkanen, they have created a highly strategic and challenging 6,900-yard layout to complement the shorter and gentler old Loch Palm Course. While the course is undoubtedly challenging, numerous risk and reward options create a fun playing environment, an exhilarating test of golf, and a breathtaking scenic tour around a course destined to become a regional golfing landmark.
