Also known as Nail Island or ‘Ko Ta Pu’ in the Thai language, James Bond Island got its current nickname when the location was featured in the 1974 Bond movie ‘The Man with the Golden Gun.’

COURSES
AQUELLA GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
The Aquella Golf & Country Club sits along the Andaman Sea at Thai Muang Beach, 30 minutes north of Phuket Airport.
Aquella plays through some open areas and some wooded casuarina pines. The Platinum Paspalum grassed course is laid out on flattish terrain and offers both high and low handicappers challenges. The undulating fairways result in numerous uneven lies and, at the same time, the wide fairways make the golf course very playable for golfers of all abilities. Many risk-reward opportunities create excitement for all players.
The visually stunning 186-yard par-three eleventh is the signature hole. Here golfers have a magnificent view out to the Andaman Sea and along the beachfront.
RED MOUNTAIN GOLF CLUB
Red Mountain Golf Course opened in 2007 and is now considered Phuket's most spectacular golf course. The course was designed to take advantage of a huge variety of landforms and dramatic elevation changes.
The entire Red Mountain site is built in an abandoned tin mine; the whole golf course routing explores the four corners of the former tin mine. Towering cliffs cut out of the hills and flooded canyons frame several of the holes. Golfers face the full range of nature’s hazards, wind, water, slopes and elevation changes. This is the highest golf course on Phuket Island and dramatic views are realized from many of the points on the golf course.
LAGUNA GOLF CLUB
Laguna Golf Phuket, the premier golf course in Phuket, is an 18-hole, par-71 golf course, set within the world-renowned Laguna Phuket, Asia’s first fully integrated destination resort. Hosted within the Banyan Tree Phuket property and measuring 6,756 yards, the course features undulating fairways, beautiful lagoons and fast green surfaces.
The strategic layout of the course rewards accuracy and precision over brute force while presenting an interesting challenge for golfers of all levels.
FAQs
How do I book?
Please telephone, e-mail or register online to confirm the names of your team members, we will then send Reservation Details outlining your requirements. To confirm your reservation, we will require payment of your deposit along with a signed Booking Form.
Do we have to use the golf carts/buggies provided?
Most of the courses in Asia have been designed with golf cart use in mind and there are often substantial distances between a green and the next tee. As a result, golf carts are included in the Pro Am package as well as caddies for each player who are on hand to clean clubs, repair divots and pitch marks, and help you read the greens. The caddies ride on the back of the carts or drive them to allow you to walk the course.
Do I have to share a room?
Not if you don’t want to! Our standard package prices are shown based on two people sharing a room, so if you wish to have a room on your own, you will incur a single room supplement at the prices shown.
