The “problem” with being Jack Nicklaus is that he always gets the peak of the plots! But it’s a nice problem to have and if you’re looking for a sea-facing picture-postcard course to play while in Phuket, Mission Hills Golf Resort in Phuket is the one to play. The golf course sits among mangrove forests on the scenic north-east coast and affords incredible ocean views from almost every hole.
Course conditioning is usually sumptuous but can vary from season to season as the layout features so many different grasses. Signature holes include the par-five second hole where two well-placed shots are needed to set up a reasonable third shot into the island green. Next is the fourth which is the first of the ocean holes, and a medium-length par-3 with spectacular views across the sea. The 12th hole and index 1 is the longest par-4 on the golf course, measuring 481 yards from the black tees.
Service both on the golf course and at the accompanying spa and resort is first class. You can even order food and drinks to be delivered to you on the course as you play.
