First time back here since some changes were made to the layout and whilst they still have some tidying up to do, the course plays nicely. Most of the changes are on the back nine where they’ve removed what used to be the 17th and put the new par-3 11th in its place. The 13th was a tough par 4, now an accessible par-5 14th and the 18th switches from a par-5 to a par-4. What hasn’t changed I’m glad to say is the warm welcome and hospitality both in the clubhouse and on the course. Wishing everyone at LPGC the best during these tough times as I know that the course (along with pretty much everything else on Phuket) has shut down for the whole of April at least.
The stay at the hotel is peaceful and serene, I made an early tee time to play golf with my girlfriend. I was told that my girlfriend couldn’t come with me unless she pays a greenfee even though she simply asked to tag along with me in the cart. Second, they won’t let you play without hiring a Cady. Third, they didn’t let me hit golf balls at the range before hand. Last, they didn’t let me play because my shoes were “unsafe”. It was so ridiculous that I had to laugh and they decided it wasn’t a day for me to enjoy some golf at Loch Palm GC. Disappointed.
It is a pity that golf is so extremely expensive in Phuket. The course is average but poor for what you pay. If you get a cart you cannot share with your partner, the cart is for you and your caddy! We would have loved to go back for a golfing holiday to Phuket but for those prices there are much better options elsewhere.
Years ago when MBK took over this golf and renovated, it became a wonderful golf.The only default was (and still is) to have two different kinds of green.But when I played this year I discovered the course has shrunken !Some holes has been drastically modified, losing land and logic.Shorted, and full of garbage.As soon as you leave the fairways and approach the hazards or the jungle, you will find plastic bags, plastic bottles, glass bottles, polystyrene bowls, papers, etc…Probably the people working for the maintenance, after drinking or having meals, just through everything in the surrounding.Garbage bins are available every tee, but used only by players.The golf management should educate the staff to use the bins, and encourage the caddies to collect the garbage….Red Mountain is almost the same.
a very relaxing course. water comes in to play on most every hole especially if you have a tendency to go to the right. caddies are great. locker rooms are clean showers are hot and over all it is a nice relaxing course to play.
Despite some of the tinkering with the layout (particularly the back nine), this course still plays nicely and is certainly a course for all levels being quite a short track but also a tough one with plenty of water to avoid. Greens were outstanding and ran fast and true. Caddies also very good, glad to see everything in Phuket bouncing back after the tourism shutdowns of 2020-2021
Good course – with one of the best caddies in thailand. Course is decent – some areas might do with a little extra maintenance but overall well worth the green fee. Whats really outstanding is the Caddy (Nr. 82 – Minniey) – what a gem – not only knowledgable – got some of the best reads on the greens from her – but also incredibly fun to be around. She really takes service seriously. The course wouldnt be half as fun to play without her. Big shoutout
The course when we played wasn’t quite as picturesque as the photos due to the low water levels at the start of the wet season.The greens were patchy in places and very inconsistent. BUT the caddies were just fantastic highly recommend them. We had some laughs and also their knowledge was a big help even though I didn’t play well. The carts were a bit old and tired and did not have an esky on them for ice.Ne and Yu were our caddies.?
This course prides itself as being the “most relaxing golf experience” in Phuket. This was certainly our experience. The views/scenery were spectacular. It’s a short course but it does provide interesting challenges. The only reason I’m not giving this 5 Stars is the quality of the greens. These were easily the slowest greens we’ve ever played on. I’m not sure if that’s by design but I think the quality of golf could be improved just by rolling the greens a bit more. Would love to come back here some day.
security guard back side of golf course Use impolite words Pushed a leaky barrier sign in front of the car. Until almost causing an accident I would like the company to train his manners as well.
Thoroughly enjoyed playing golf here twice during our stay in Phuket. The greens are slow and took awhile to get used to. We had the same caddies on both days. My caddy, Sri (108) saw my pink tees the first day we played and had some pink tees ready for me the second time which I thought was a sweet gesture. Sri too but also my husband said his caddy, Nam (033), after a few shots, understood our ability/distances and were able to recommend the right clubs which made our play easier/stress free. The staff at the pro shop and the club house restaurant were all very friendly. The lady cleaning the ladies room too!We like to wear matching shirts and some shirts we bought at the Red Mountain last year didn’t have the women’s sizes but we were able to find them here at Loch Palm and vice versa for men’s sizes so we’re quite happy having matching shirts now tho the golf course name is slightly different.
Very well organized from check in to finish, course was lovely, not easy but not ridiculously difficult. I could see when I arrived it was very busy, but the round was really fast, only had to wait on a couple of par 3s and a par 5 that I could hit in 2 so that’s understandable. They give you a voucher for 300baht which is enough to buy a really good quality lunch when you finish. Classy
