ロック パーム ゴルフ クラブ
A course with spectacular views. The nine holes on the outward side are flat, taking advantage of the largest lake on Phuket Island, with six holes surrounding the lake. The nine holes on the inward side are a hilly course with varying elevations built at the foot of the mountains, with water involved in five holes. The course is not particularly long, but the outward and inward sides have different styles, and the water hazards, palm groves, and bunkers are strategically placed, making it an enjoyable course to play. For a resort course, it is in excellent condition.

Course Introduction
A long, straight hole that is difficult to hit. The tee shot is downhill, and the landing area is narrow due to the bunker on the left and the creek on the right, and the OB on the left is also shallow, so care must be taken. The second shot is over the creek, but if you make a bad tee shot or if there is a strong headwind, you will have to cut in front of the creek. The third shot is uphill. The two guard bunkers on the left of the green are very deep, so care must be taken. The two-tiered green has a very uneven surface, with the left side being higher.
A long middle hole with a dogleg to the left. It is the only par 4 on the course that is over 400 yards long. On the tee shot, OB on the right, a creek on the left, and bunkers on both sides come into play. Care must be taken as OB on the right of the green is shallow. The green is well guarded by bunkers on both sides. Both the tee shot and second shot require distance and direction. The green also has a complex slope.
