Red Mountain Golf Club is surely one of Asia’s most exciting new courses. Winding its way through a truly dramatic 1400 rai former tin mine site in the heart of Phuket, the course has been cleverly routed to take advantage of a huge variety of landforms and dizzying elevation changes. Scars left from the tin mine era have been imaginatively incorporated into the overall scheme, creating a unique character at the same time as establishing an indelible link with an important era in the Island’s past.
Designer Jon Morrow and co-designer Al Tikkanen, Red Mountain Golf Club have created a highly strategic and challenging 6,900 yard lay out to complement the shorter and gentler old Loch Palm Course. While the course is undoubtedly challenging, numerous risk and reward options create a fun playing environment, an exhilarating test of golf and a breathtaking scenic tour around a course destined to become a golfing landmark in the region.
Red Mountain Golf Club has recently won the ‘Platinum Golf Course of the Year’ award at the 2011 Hospitality Asia Platinum Awards (HAPA) in Singapore which was received on behalf of Red Mountain Golf Club by PGA Professional & Marketing Manager – Michael Brasier.
