レッド マウンテン ゴルフ クラブ

Red Mountain Golf Club Phuket and Koh Samui

This is a hilly course with a large difference in elevation, built on the site of a former tin mine. Small red soil hills cut down over many years of mining are dotted throughout the course, separating each hole. Combined with the abundant tropical rainforest, this creates a unique landscape. The course is designed to make the most of the natural location, with many holes having narrow fairways, and is generally aimed at intermediate to advanced players. Not only are the fairways narrow, but ponds and bunkers are also strategically placed, requiring players to use their brains to decide whether to attack or defend on each hole. It is a fantastic layout that skillfully combines long and short holes on all short, middle and long holes.

Course Introduction

  • Red Mountain Golf Club
  • Red Mountain Golf Club

A short hole over a pond. The green faces ponds not only in front, but also to the right and back. The green is 55 yards wide and shaped like a horse's back with a high center. When the pin is on the right, the green does not have much depth and faces a bunker and pond in front and a pond in the back, making it even more difficult. The view of the red clay hill towering behind the green is magnificent.

  • Red Mountain Golf Club

A short middle hole with a slight dogleg to the left. The narrow fairway is bordered by tropical rainforests on both sides, making the tee shot difficult. This hole also has a green at the foot of a small red clay hill.

  • Red Mountain Golf Club

A spectacular downhill short hole. Hit down to a green at the bottom of a valley that is nearly 50 meters deep. You can aim for the green with a short iron, but because there is a tropical rainforest on the left side of the green, if you miss the ball 10 meters to the left of the green, it will be lost.

A long hole with a dogleg to the right. The tee shot is downhill. For the second shot, the pond on the right and the bunkers on both sides of the fairway come into play. As you get closer to the green, the fairway narrows. The front of the green faces the pond.

A straight, gently descending middle hole. The landing area for the tee shot is narrow. The green is slightly elevated with two small hills towering to the right and back of the green.

A short hole with a slight downhill shot over bushes. The green is surrounded by bushes, giving it a fresher feel than an island green surrounded by water.

A long middle hole with a slight dogleg to the left. There is a pond on the left from the tee to the green. Bunkers are effectively placed around the green. The green is a gently sloping three-tiered green.

This is a short middle hole that doglegs to the left, then to the right. The tee shot is downhill. The further off the tee the ball flies, the narrower the landing area becomes, so it is wise not to use a driver. The second shot is over a pond. The green is long and narrow, with an impressive red clay hill behind it.

A long middle hole that doglegs to the left around a large pond. The tee shot is downhill and the second shot is over the pond. The distance and direction of the second shot are important.

  • Red Mountain Golf Club

A straight, slightly uphill middle hole. The tee shot is over a pond. The green is elevated, and the bunker in front is in play. The green is built between small red soil hills on both sides, which not only add to the beauty of the green, but also increase the strategy of the hole. In particular, the hill on the left towers very close to the green, so a hook ball on the second shot is a big no-no.

A long hole with a dogleg to the right. The tee shot is slightly downhill, and the bunker on the right of the fairway comes into play. For the second shot, you must decide whether to go over the three bunkers across the fairway, or to chip in front of them.
