The Golf and Spa
Paradise Par Excellence
The
legendary Blue Canyon Country Club in Phuket,
Thailand is ranked by international media as one of
the most prestigious golfing establishments in the
region. Cradled in a 720-acre verdant valley against a
magnificent backdrop of the majestic Phang Nga mountains
and the Andaman Sea, Blue Canyon offers two
award-winning championship golf courses, "The Canyon"
built in 1991 and "The Lakes" in 1999, complete with
boutique spa resort and luxurious clubhouse
facilities.
In
1988, Yoshikazu Kato, one of Japan's most prolific golf course
architects
started developing the site, originally an abandoned tin
mine flanked by rubber plantations. Both
courses were created around existing canyons and
woodlands, with minimal interruption to the natural
landscape and wildlife. The property is a masterpiece of
design characterised by spectacular and daunting natural
hazards including numerous taunting water features
accentuated by towering trees to challenge golfers of
all levels.
The Blue Canyon Country Club is the one and
only three-time host of the Johnnie Walker
Classic.
