New condos set to tempt Phuket’s golfers

KATHU, PHUKET: The 61-unit Green Golf Residence Condominiums are located in Kathu, in the heart of Phuket.

They’re complemented by a full array of facilities and provide easy access to Phuket’s international schools, shopping centers and hospitals.

The complex is a 15-minute drive from Patong.

Developed by Tamarind Bay Co., Ltd, work on the project began in December last year and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2009.

The Green Golf project will feature a choice of three options: studio apartments, one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom apartments. Prices range from 2.3 million baht to 9 million baht.

The studios range in size from 48 to 60sqm and feature spacious balconies, while the one-bedroom apartments cover 78-140sqm and come with two terraces – one adjacent to the main bedroom and another extending from the living area.

The two-bedroom units are essentially two one-bedroom units merged into a spacious 96-162sqm apartment large enough for families.

The clever use of built-in cupboards, shelves, wardrobes and kitchen surfaces makes the interior appear larger and perfect for comfortable living.

Available in two color palettes, bright and bold or cool and calm, both designs produce a contemporary rustic appearance.

A number of energy-saving measures have been incorporated.

Exhaust from the air-conditioning units will be recycled for water heating, saving owners up to 40 percent on this utility.

Given the Green Golf Condominium’s height, all the apartments enjoy constant breezes, reducing the need for air-conditioning.

All units have spacious balconies and impressive views of the natural lake bordering one of the golf courses or the rolling greens and fairways of the course itself.

The focal point of the condominium is the large angular swimming pool surrounded by tropical gardens and a sun deck.

Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the mile-long jogging track through the condominium and will have access to the air-conditioned fitness room and sauna located in the basement of the building.

The Green Golf Condominium also features access cards, 24-hour security system and CCTV, a laundry center, fire alarm system, and high-speed internet.

Golfers will be spoiled for choice, as Phuket Country Club offers both nine-and 18-hole courses as well as putting greens and a convenient club storage room near the lobby.
