Play in the morning — afternoon rounds in Phuket can be brutally hot and humid from March to May. Courses are also less crowded before 10am.
Caddies are mandatory at most Phuket courses. The caddie fee is separate from green fees (typically 300–400 THB) and a tip of equivalent amount is customary.
Equipment rental is available at all courses. Quality of rental clubs has improved significantly — but if you are serious about your game, bring your own.
