Rating

 

The Canyon course is championship-class, regarded as among the best in Asia and with a string of awards to prove it. Set in a natural environment, the course has room to expand if the long-hitting trend continues. Water comes into play at 10 holes. There are more than 80 bunkers.

The Lakes is aptly named, and it has larger greens. Water comes into play at 17 holes and there are about 36 bunkers. Both courses share a large clubhouse with first-class amenities that overlooks a verdant rolling valley. The greens run fast and true on the Canyon and the putting surfaces are a little larger on the Lakes. When the wind blows, the degree of difficulty increases considerably. Stray into the rough on the Canyon and the penalty is likely to be a little more severe than on the Lakes.

Facilities

Blue Canyon has indoor and outdoor driving ranges and four practice putting greens, two for each course.

Lessons are available from professionals for golfers of every standard and leading brands of equipment are available from the pro shop. There are two restaurants, the Golfers’ Terrace, and the Canyon Restaurant, for that special dinner. Locker room services include sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi and a variety of massages.

Accommodation

The Golfers’ Lodge provides 40 guestrooms. Resort apartments offer two- and three-bedroom units, with facilities including two swimming pools, tennis courts and a fitness center.

On the course

The Canyon has five kiosks for drinks and snacks during a round, while the Lakes has four. There are about 900 members from all over the world and 450 female caddies, who undergo rigorous training. Golf carts are available for the Lakes. Wildlife includes tortoises, iguanas, civet cats, komodo dragons, squirrels, kingfishers, artic swifts, miniature swallowtails, and gorgeous butterflies. The Lakes and the Canyon are both well-maintained with challenging renovations constantly being introduced.

Top holes

Canyon

Hole 13
Requires a long drive over the rough terrain of a canyon and around a bend to the right, where the green lies. Tiger Woods once also carried the mass of bunkers and trees to reach the green on this par four with a superb drive from the back tee, so it is known as The Tiger Hole.

Hole 14
Requires an accurate shot from the top of a steep incline to an island green. The view on this par three is spectacular and the choice of the right club becomes exceptionally difficult, depending on prevailing conditions.

Hole 17
Is classed as one of the best par threes in the world. It requires a long, straight shot to avoid the mass of water that cuts into the fairway on the right. Bunkers surrounding a curling, sloping green. Little wonder hole in ones are a rarity.

Lakes

Hole 4
Requires nerves of steel. The hardest hole on the course, this par four offers up a wide fairway, then doglegs into a maze of trees and foliage, with a huge canyon yawning in front of an elevated green.

Hole 18
gives players the choice of going left or right of a tree on the crest of the fairway. Go left and you face an awesome shot over canyon country.

The right-hand option provides more fairway but a severe uphill second shot is required to the small, elevated green. A wonderful par four.

Transport

Blue Canyon provides round-trip airport transfer for in-house guests. Free transportation is provided for guests who reserve golf at the normal rate.
