The signature par three 14 th hole drops 194 yards from an elevated tee to a tiny island green. The 586 yards par five 15 th hole is a blind double dog leg, left then right, with two water carries. The Blue Canyon Club also houses the Gary Player Golfing Academy. Yet, if I were to be asked what really differentiates this course, I would say that it is the severity of many of the greens. A second 18 holes, the Lakes Course , is now open and promises to present an equally demanding challenge.
Gradual undulations make for a generally easy walking course.
The 18 holes run continuously rather than two loops of 9. Only holes 17 and 18 flow consecutively in the same direction. This interesting layout, designed by well-known local Thai architect, Dr. Sukitti Klangvisai, is set in rolling foothills around a large lagoon. The mature and varied trees, plants and flowers around the course lend it an especial beauty. It is distinguished by having six holes winding through undulating hills, another six on the level, while the remainder pass through landscaped forest.
