Andy DevaneyLaguna Phuket has launched new Stay & Play golf packages built around Laguna Golf Phuket, giving travellers a simpler way to pair tee times with stays at Angsana Laguna Phuket or Cassia Phuket without turning holiday planning into a spreadsheet with sunburn.
A Sharper Route Into Phuket Golf
Golf holidays are often sold as relaxation, then booked like minor military campaigns. Flights, rooms, transfers, tee times, dining, weather, group preferences and that one player who insists he is “flexible” until the second tee time appears before breakfast.
Laguna Phuket’s new packages are aimed squarely at removing some of that friction. The offer combines accommodation with access to Laguna Golf Phuket, the resort’s 18-hole, par-71 course, set among tropical landscapes, lagoons and mountain views.
The course sits within the wider Laguna Phuket resort complex, where guests have access to a complimentary shuttle service connecting the golf course with hotels, restaurants, wellness facilities and leisure options. In practical terms, that means the morning round does not need to devour the entire day.
There is life after the 18th, and at Laguna Phuket it appears to involve beaches, spas and rather better dining than a hurried packet of crisps from the halfway hut.
The Stay & Play Idea, Without The Usual Admin Headache
The central appeal of the new Stay & Play packages is convenience. Travellers can book accommodation and tee times online, with the packages designed to make planning a Phuket golf break more direct and less dependent on back-and-forth manual arrangements.
For golf groups, that matters. A good golf trip can be undone before anyone boards a plane if the booking process becomes too slow, vague or fragmented. By bringing rooms and tee times together, Laguna Phuket is pitching itself not only as a place to play, but as a destination that understands how golfers actually travel.
Stephen Chick, General Manager at Laguna Golf Phuket, remarked, “Laguna Phuket is uniquely positioned to provide golfers an all-inclusive destination experience. Guests can enjoy a morning round of golf, then relax on the beach, indulge in spa treatments, or savour gourmet cuisine at our world-class restaurants.
Our Stay & Play packages offer unparalleled flexibility, enabling golfers to tailor their holiday experience according to their preferences.”
That is the crux of it: the golf is the anchor, but not the whole boat. For couples, groups and mixed-ability travellers, the strongest resorts are usually those that let golf be the reason for going without forcing everyone to live entirely by the tee sheet.
Golfscape Adds The Booking Muscle
The launch also brings Golfscape into the frame, with the company supporting the online booking element of the Stay & Play offer.
Raghad Mukhaimer, Founder & CEO of Golfscape, added, “We are excited to partner with Laguna Phuket to launch this industry-first Stay & Play offering. For the first time in history, individuals and groups can book a golf package online in real time, with specific room types and exact tee times within minutes.
This groundbreaking technology transforms what was once a manual, time-consuming process, placing the power of planning directly in the travellers’ hands and creating a seamless booking process that delights our customers.”
That claim will catch the eye of travelling golfers because real-time certainty is not a small luxury in golf tourism. Knowing the room type is one thing. Knowing the exact tee time is quite another. Anyone who has flown long-haul only to discover their preferred morning round has become a late-afternoon dash against the dark will understand the difference.
Angsana Laguna Phuket Or Cassia Phuket?
The packages offer a choice between two very different accommodation styles within Laguna Phuket.
Angsana Laguna Phuket is the five-star beachfront option, positioned on Bang Tao Beach with direct beach access, leisure facilities, wellness offerings, restaurants and bars. It is the more classic resort play: sand, space, sea air and the quiet hope that your putting stroke somehow improves in tropical humidity.
Cassia Phuket, meanwhile, offers contemporary suite-style accommodation overlooking the lagoon, with a more relaxed and modern atmosphere. For golfers who want room to settle in, especially on longer stays or group trips, suite-style accommodation can be more than a design flourish. It can be the difference between a holiday and a logistical negotiation over whose clubs are blocking the doorway.
More Than A Golf Course With Rooms Attached
Laguna Phuket’s wider offer is central to the story. The destination includes more than 1,400 rooms across six hotels and resorts, an 18-hole golf course, more than 35 dining and nightlife options, wellness centres, recreational activities and direct access to one of Phuket’s best-known coastlines.
It also includes the only PGA-branded Golf Academy in Southeast Asia, giving the destination added relevance for golfers who want improvement alongside indulgence. That is a useful distinction. Plenty of resorts can offer a course and a cocktail. Fewer can credibly make the case for a golf trip that mixes play, practice, coaching potential and a broader lifestyle experience.
Laguna Phuket also retained its position in the Golf World Top 100 World Resorts ranking in 2025, a useful trust marker in a competitive golf travel market where every destination claims to be memorable and several are mainly memorable for the taxi queue.
Why Laguna Phuket Fits The Modern Golf Traveller
The modern golf traveller is not always chasing 36 holes a day and an early night. Increasingly, the appeal lies in flexibility: a serious round in the morning, a civilised lunch, time on the beach, perhaps a spa treatment, then dinner that does not involve arguing over handicaps under fluorescent clubhouse lighting.
That is where Laguna Phuket’s Stay & Play packages make editorial sense. They are not trying to sell golf in isolation. They are selling the idea that golf can sit neatly inside a larger Phuket holiday, with enough structure to reassure the organiser and enough freedom to keep everyone else smiling.
The packages are now available to book on Laguna Phuket’s website. For golfers looking at Asia for their next warm-weather escape, this is a polished, practical and rather tempting development: tee times, resort living and the Andaman coast, all tied together without requiring a committee meeting before breakfast.
