ラグーナ ゴルフ プーケット
This course has flat terrain and the surrounding wetlands have been converted to create a lagoon. The out course is a series of easy holes, which may not be satisfactory for advanced players, but the in course is tough and varied, with ponds involved in 8 of the 9 holes. It is not as difficult as the course rating of 72.1 for a par 71 course, and you can fully enjoy the open feeling and resort atmosphere. It is also known as the Bahiayan Tree Course.

Course Introduction
A short hole with a slight downhill shot and plenty of distance. The green is nearly 60 yards long, so the pin position can vary by up to 40 yards between the front and back of the green. Not only is it long, but the water hazard on the right of the green comes into play, making it even more difficult.
A famous hole. It is a long hole with a dogleg to the right that surrounds a large pond. There are water hazards on both sides of the fairway for the tee shot. The landing area for the second shot is narrow due to the pond on the right and the bunkers on the left, so an accurate shot is required. Also, if you use a 3-wood for the second shot, there is a high chance that the ball will be caught in the pond that juts out into the fairway, so it is safer to lay up. The third shot is also long, so you can also choose to use a fairway wood. It is worth it even if you get a par.
