Thailand - Red Mountain Golf Club
Winding its way through a truly dramatic 1400 rai former tin mine
site in the heart of Phuket, Red Mountain is surely one of Asia's most
exciting new courses. 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,
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.
