TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is planning to move to the Rawai area of Phuket for retirement and is seeking recommendations for nearby golf courses. Responses indicate that while there are several golf courses on the island, the closest ones to Rawai include Phuket Country Club, Loch Palm, and Blue Canyon, with the latter being notable for its challenging play.

There are at least 5 golf courses on Phuket.

There are not too many golf courses on the island of Phuket and the green fee prices are one of the highest if not the highest in the whole country.

Loch palm. Laguna and the most difficult but Amazing blue canyon. Red mountain as a jungle golf expérience

I run a golf group at Laguna. Every Saturday plus spin off groups other days of the week. Golf can be expensive in Thailand unless you join a club. Depends how many days a week you wish to play. As a retiiree you maybe are also looking for a community of possible equal reirees and triends.. look around both at courses and societies...

Not sure you need to join any, just visit as and when, all will welcome you.

Not in the immediate Rawai area. Phuket Country Club and Loch Palm / Red mountain probably the closest.
