The 18 hole Mission Hills Phuket Golf Resort & Spa was designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 2004. It combines all the features akin to the designer - strategic waste bunkers and lots of water hazards. The course is 6,308 yards off the blue tees, or 6,009 yards off the whites. Although situated in a beautiful waterfront location on the east coast of Phuket, the wind can provide some extra challenges for golfers. The course has two greens right on the waterfront, another hole with a double green and a finishing hole with a choice of two greens.
