Virtually at the island's center, Loch Palm is well-placed for
golfers coming from every direction. About 1,400 stocky Oil
Palm, planted along a route around a large lake and through hill
country, give the course a character and charm of its own.

Description: |

Loch Palm
Golf Club (New Hole 9)


 |
The course will complement rather than compete with her older
sister. Few sites have presented the Design Team with such a
dramatic raw canvas on which to sculpt a memorable Golf Course.
The routing explores the four corners of the former tin mine
property with dizzying elevation changes representing a
memorable tour of Phuket's historical landscapes. Holes have
been sculpted into and through rugged 'rock' cliffs and canyons,
perched on precipitous ledges climbing to a high plateau cut
away from the mountain by decades of mining. This is undoubtedly
the highest Golf on Phuket Island! Views are as dramatic as one
would expect; sounds of Tropical Rainforest forest a reminder of
forgotten times.
Not long by modern standards, the course will stretch to just
under 7,000 yards from the 'Pro' tees playing to a standard par
72. Keeping the course under this nominal 'Championship Course'
yardstick has allowed us to offer all levels of players the
chance to enjoy the Golf Experience here. Par 4 lengths stretch
the full range of distances; each nine has an exciting
'drivable' par 4 and another 'shorty' that all can enjoy. But
there are also 4 'two shotters' ranging from 440 to 470 yards.
The par 3's are not only demanding to play, but also to visually
absorb. A hole with a vertical drop of 40 ms. from tee to green
through towering trees may be just too much to imagine. This is
Golf on steroids.
Par 5's are also unique. We have not started with an idea of
what type of holes we wanted. We just fit the holes to what
nature gave us. They are uphill and downhill. They are long and
short. They are all memorable.
The tin mine theme is never far away. Rugged scars from open
cast mining look strangely comfortable on a course which
celebrates rather than tries to hide the past. Cliffs and
gullies etched in sandy tailings over the years by storm waters
feature on several holes; nature's waste bunkers belittle the
work of man.
Towering
cliffs cut out of the hills and flooded canyons frame several
other holes. Mounds of waste tailings have left a unique
'moonscape' that we could never reproduce. Mini-alluvial plains
also provide occasional flat holes.
Nature has healed itself and left a pleasantly surprising
combination 'Tin Mine' landscapes and vegetation.
Great care has been taken to route holes so that players have to
face the full range of natures hazards; wind, water, slopes and
elevation changes.
The concept of variety has been carried into all areas. There
are large and small greens; some with subtle breaks, some with
wilder contours. The latest Bermuda Hybrid grasses, noted for
their shade tolerance, will allow fast, smooth putting surfaces
even through Phuket's rainy season.
Fairways and tees are grassed with Seashore Paspalum; Golf's
most environmentally friendly and opulent playing surface. No
expense has been spared on drainage; fairways have been capped
throughout with a deep, clean sand layer allowing perfect
playing surfaces just minutes after the heaviest rains.
Wild, local grasses have been used in some rough areas to
complete the natural look.
We believe our new Golf Course will become THE Golf Course on
Phuket Island and look forward to welcoming you to the
challenge. |

Top Hole: |
Hole
16 Par 3 HCP 10
The 16th hole is a straight forward long par 3 with a large
bunker on the right side of the green with another one at the
back left. The Crystal Lake skirts the right side of the hole.
The demand here is placed on putting, once you are on this
severely contoured green. |
Hole
12 Par 4 HCP 12
Left to right players find this par 4 to their liking. Avoiding
the bunker though is still important and there is a temptation
to cut the corner over the water hazard. Stay on the fairway
though and a birdie is possible. |
