ミッション ヒルズ プーケット ゴルフ リゾート & スパ
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
This is a long hole with a dogleg to the left. A beach bunker runs down the left side of the fairway from 220 yards from the tee, and crosses it about 120 yards in front of the green. The huge beach bunker is as large as the fairway and is impressive. The ocean behind the green as seen from the third shot is also very impressive.
A dogleg hole to the right. Both the tee shot and the second shot are over a pond. The front of the green faces a pond, making the second shot especially difficult. This hole usually has two greens, with the right green being more difficult and the left green being easier as the pond is not so involved.
Trivia
10 minutes drive from Phuket Airport. Reservations can be made by contacting the golf club directly or through a golf travel agency. There is a hotel adjacent to the clubhouse and accommodation packages are available.
