Golf in Phuket in November

November on Phuket sits between the monsoon and the dry season: on average 195 mm of rain over about 14 days, highs around 32°C and a 29°C sea. The first half of the month is wetter than the second. For a golf trip that means: play the second half if you can, tee off early, and keep one spare day.

November weather in numbers

Climates to Travel gives Phuket 195 mm of rain over 14 days in November, against 315 mm in October and 80 mm over 8 days in December. Average low 23.3°C, high 32°C, humidity around 80%, about 6 hours of sunshine a day. The same source notes that heavy rain is still possible after the monsoon, especially early in the month, and Fairways of Eden says conditions usually settle toward December. Most wet days bring a shower of an hour or so, not all-day rain. More month-by-month detail: when to play golf in Thailand.

Green fees from 1 November

Agents on Phuket treat 1 November to 31 March as high season. As of 27 September 2026 no Phuket club publishes a 2026/27 high-season rate. Laguna Golf Phuket is the exception in a different way: its official 5,600 THB for 18 holes with caddie has no seasons. Elsewhere, expect November to cost more than October: Blue Canyon's Canyon Course sells at 3,400 THB plus 400 caddie and 700 compulsory cart in low season, with an undated third-party "published" rate of 4,800. Add a 400 to 500 THB caddie tip. Full breakdown: golf prices in Thailand.

Which courses to play

Blue Canyon (two courses, 20 minutes from the airport, Tiger Woods won the 1998 Johnnie Walker Classic here); Laguna Golf Phuket (5 minutes from the Laguna hotels; it hosts the Sportingclass Industry Invitational on 1 to 5 November 2026, so check public tee times those days); Red Mountain (open on a temporary 18-hole routing while two new holes are finished, full layout expected January 2027). Aquella and Katathong lie north in Phang Nga. See the best golf courses on Phuket.

Heat, tee times and rain

Tee off at 6 to 7 am. Rounds with caddie and cart run 4.5 to 5.5 hours, and an early start gets you in before the heat peaks and before afternoon storms; Phuket Expat Guide advises finishing by 2 pm in the wet months. Carry an umbrella and a bag cover, and ask about the course's rain-check rule at check-in. Caddie etiquette and tipping: Thai golf etiquette. Loy Krathong falls on Wednesday 25 November 2026: busy roads and restaurants that evening, mornings unaffected.

November with a host

With Hosted Golf, a host plays all 18 holes with your group of up to 3 guests. A golf day at Blue Canyon, Red Mountain or Laguna starts at 31,900 THB per person for three guests. If a round is washed out, we move it to a free day in the programme or swap it for an hour in a TrackMan or Golfzon bay. The site also lists a grand tour from 7 to 30 November 2026 (14 or 23 days, groups of 6 or more, from €4,300 per person, stay not included).

FAQ

Does it rain on Phuket in November?

Yes, about 195 mm over 14 days on average, more in the first half of the month. Most rain comes as short showers. December drops to 80 mm.

Are all courses open in November?

Blue Canyon, Laguna, Aquella and Katathong have no announced closures. Red Mountain is open on a temporary routing until its new holes are finished, expected January 2027. Laguna hosts an invitational event on 1 to 5 November 2026.

Is golf more expensive in November than in October?

Most likely: agents switch Phuket to high-season pricing on 1 November, though no club has published its 2026/27 high-season rate yet. Laguna Golf Phuket has a single year-round rate of 5,600 THB with caddie.

What time should I tee off?

Between 6 and 7 am. A round takes 4.5 to 5.5 hours, so you finish before the midday heat and the afternoon storms.

What if my round is rained out?

Ask the club about its rain-check rule; many give a partial credit. On our hosted programmes we move the round to a free day or swap it for an hour in a TrackMan or Golfzon bay.

Can I join the November tour for part of the dates?

The tour runs in two lengths: 14 days with 7 rounds or 23 days with 10 rounds. Other splits only by agreement; send your dates through the enquiry form.
