Red Mountain
Visitors of Phuket don’t normally add golfing to their itineraries of things to see and do. The island has an array of top attractions, from temples and beaches to an insane nightlife. That being said, those golfers making their way to the south of Thailand need to check out Red Mountain. The golf course works nicely with an otherwise bumpy terrain, as it moves and bends with a number elevation changes, providing golfers with a challenging and exciting course. The Tinidee Golf Resort sits just adjacent to this breathtaking course as well.
