BACK TO HOMEPAGE

The Blue Canyon Country Club has 2 courses – the world famous Canyon Course and a recent addition, The Lakes.


The Canyon proved its championship mettle as the venue for the 1994 and 1998 Johnnie Walker Classic contests, which tested the abilities of such golfers as Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Fred Couples, Greg Norman and other world famous touring pros. Experts say The Lakes is up to the competition from its sister course and should grow into 18 holes of golf that can challenge the best. The Lakes fairways are wider and the greens larger and less undulating, thus offering room to be aggressive off the tee, with approach shots and on the green. By contrast The Canyon Course calls for great accuracy all the way round.

Blue Canyon occupies a beautiful and exotic location, formally a tin mine set in rubber plantations among craggy hills. Fairways unfold over sloping rolling lands and are punctuated by various hazards in the form of narrow landing areas and well-guarded greens. Early holes run through avenues of towering trees and are relatively less difficult than the later holes. The challenge of the back nine, on the other hand, is progressively more demanding. Sitting over all is The Golfers Lodge a 49 room, five-star hotel.
