    О месте: Лох Палм

    Loch Palm is the golf course and the small residential area around it in Kathu, in the middle of Phuket between Phuket Town and Patong. Loch Palm Golf Club, on Vichitsongkram Road, plays 18 holes round Crystal Lake, with more than 1,400 palms along the fairways and jungle-covered hills on every side.

    The front nine follow the lake, with water on six of the first seven holes; the back nine climb into the forested hills, where the 15th, a par 3, drops about 100 feet to a green guarded by water. A colonial-style clubhouse overlooks the first fairway and the lake, and balls on the driving range are hit onto the water. Red Mountain Golf Club lies just to the south.

    Around the course stand villa estates, among them Baan Suan Loch Palm, a gated community of 60 villas built in 2007, and Loch Palm Garden Villas, single-storey homes on the fairways. It is a quiet, residential corner: Kathu's market, shops and temples are a short drive down the hill, and Patong is about 7 km over the ridge.

    Чем хорош Лох Палм

    • Crystal Lake

      The course wraps round the largest lake on any Phuket golf course, with more than 1,400 palms along the fairways and forested hills behind.

    • An easy-going course

      18 holes, par 72, about 6,555 to 6,584 yards; easy to medium and good for mid- and high-handicappers, with the hardest holes at the start.

    • The clubhouse terrace

      The colonial-style clubhouse, with a restaurant and pro shop, looks over the first fairway, the lake and the hills; it opens from 06:00 to 19:00.

    • Estates in a green valley

      Villa estates such as Baan Suan Loch Palm, with 24-hour security, sit on the course's edges, away from the traffic of the Patong road.

    • Between town and beach

      Kathu's fresh market and shops are a few minutes down the hill; Patong is about 7 km away, Phuket Town about 12 km.

    Loch Palm is a quiet place for families who live here rather than a day out: gated villa estates with gardens and pools, little traffic inside them, and the British International School about 4 km to the north-east. For children's outings, Kathu's waterfall and parks are close by.

    • Baan Suan Loch Palm has 24-hour security and covered parking.
    • Kathu Waterfall, small and free, is best from June to October.
    • The Mining Museum costs 50 THB for children.

    Loch Palm is in Kathu, off the road between Phuket Town and Patong: about 7 km from Patong, 12 km from Phuket Town and 37 km from the airport. A car or scooter is the way in; the Smart Bus and songthaews stop on the main road in Kathu.

    • На машине. The club is on Vichitsongkram Road in Kathu; the estates have their own parking.
    • На скутере. Handy for the estates and Kathu; the road over the hill to Patong is steep, with blind bends.
    • Smart Bus. Route 2 of the Smart Bus, Phuket Town to Patong, stops at Andamanda and Kathu Fresh Market for 50 THB (2026); the course is a short ride from there.
    • Grab и такси. Taxis and ride apps reach the club and the estates.

    Парковка. The golf club and the villa estates have their own car parks.

    Кому понравится Лох Палм, а кому нет

    Понравится

    • Retirees and golfers who want a course on the doorstep.
    • Long-stayers who want a villa with a garden in a quiet valley.
    • Anyone after quiet: estates off the main road, among hills and water.

    Не понравится

    • Beach lovers: Patong's beach is about 7 km away over the hill.
    • First-time visitors: there is little here beyond the golf; Patong or Phuket Town suit better.

    Советы: Лох Палм

    • Book the low season

      From 1 April to 31 October 2026 a booking agent sold 18 holes with caddy for 3,600 THB (3,200 THB green fee and 400 THB caddy).

    • Budget for the extras

      The caddie (400 THB) is compulsory; add a tip of 300 to 500 THB or more and 700 THB for a cart.

    • Mind holes 1 to 3

      Anything hit to the right off the first tees is likely to end up in the lake.

    • Followers pay too

      Non-golfers walking with a group pay a follower fee, 1,700 THB for 18 holes by one agent's 2026 list.

    • Pair it with Red Mountain

      The neighbouring course is harder and dearer; golfers often play the two on consecutive days.

    • Rent a villa by the year

      Villa rents here are quoted monthly on yearly contracts: a 3-bedroom villa in Baan Suan Loch Palm was listed at 95,000 THB in 2026.
