Blue Canyon Country Club

In 1988, Yoshikazu Kato, one of Japan’s most prolific golf course architects started developing the site, originally an abandoned tin mine flanked by rubber plantations. Both courses were created around existing canyons and woodlands, with minimal interruption to the natural landscape and wildlife. The property is a masterpiece of design characterized by spectacular and daunting natural hazards including numerous water features accentuated by towering trees to challenge golfers of all levels.   The Blue Canyon Country Club rose to fame when the Canyon Course was selected for the 1994 Johnnie Walker Classic. This was followed by the 1996 Honda Invitational Tournament of the Omega Tour. The Canyon Course’s reputation as Asia’s best was reaffirmed in 1998 and again in 2007, when the Johnnie Walker Classic returned, making it the first golf course to ever host the tournament thrice in the JWC’s history.   Awards Best Golf Resort in Asia Pacific – Global Golf Awards 2018 Best Golf Course in Thailand (Canyon & Lakes Course) – Asian Golf Awards 2018 Top 500 Best Holes in the World (Canyon Course Hole 17 : Par 3) – GOLF Magazine 2000 Best Golf Course in Country (Thailand) – Asian Golf Awards 2007, 2006 Best Golf Course in Asia – FinanceAsia : 2009, 2008, 2006, 2003 Asia’s Best Golf Course – Asiamoney : 2004, 2005 & 2007
