At
first glance. golfing and the ocean do not seem to go together.
However, when you combine this popular sport with extraordinary
beauty of the Andaman Sea and its long coastline, what you get is
a golfing experience unlike anywhere else on earth.
Thailand 's southern provinces of Phuket,
Phangnga and Krabi
have long been the destinations of people looking for rest and relaxation.
Sea, sand and sun are in abundance, complementing great seafood,
unspoiled national parks and a unique culture. For those that pursue
an active lifestyle and enjoy the challenges of gofing, the three
provinces offer perhaps the utimate high.
Phuket, Phangnga and Krabi all have world-class golf courses some
designed by renowed international architects and star golfers. The
courses are set among a variety of exciting surroundings like amidst
green mountains and by the azure sea. Wherever they are, all have
modern facilities and impeccable services. Green and caddie fees
are always very affordable. Some courses boast excellent cuisine
and accommodation. All can cater to any program for groups large
and small.
This publication gives you valuable insight into the golf courses
in the three provices, but there is nothing that can compare to
actually playing on one, or a few, of them. We believe that after
one visit, you will likely return for more glorious golfing by the
Andaman Sea.
