Chiang Mai Golf

Chiangmai Green Valley

The course sits on a slightly flat terrain sloping towards the Ping River. It is a long testing course, with water coming into play on almost every hole. Most holes are heavily bunkered, making play even more exacting. The fairways and greens are usually in very good condition. There is not much shade on the course, so most players are very thirsty by the time they reach the 'nineteenth'. The huge clubhouse provides first-class amenities and there is a hotel in the vicinity of the golf course.

Chiangmai - Lamphun Golf Club

The course lies in a natural valley surrounded by beautiful rolling hills. Thousands of mature native trees, together with well-designed traditional-style buildings give the golf course its unique, distinctly Northern character. Its contoured terrain, interspersed with creeks and water hazards, offers a challenge to golfers of all handicaps. The clever use of bunkering and strategic placement of water hazards make it a necessity to be accurate if a good score is to be achieved. This is exemplified at signature. hole number nine, where the tee shot needs to be 'placed' between water hazards on both sides of the fairway, followed by a long carry over the big pond to a sloping green.


Lanna Golf Club

Recently upgraded, this tough (rating 73.7) but enjoyable layout is a must for visitors to Chiang Mai. There are beautiful views of the bills from every hole and of Chiang Mai's famed Doi Suthep temple. The fairways are lined with mature trees, offering welcomed shade, but difficult rough. The refurbished greens run true, and the watering system ensures lush fairways throughout the year. This is a classic, natural golf course which no golfer should miss playing. There is a nice clubhouse here and the Northern welcome to visitors is rather special.

Royal Chiangmai Golf Resort

Designed by five-time British Open champion, Peter Thomson, the course is set in a beautiful valley and the scenery is magnificent. Waterfalls, trail, streams and all kinds of trees are surrounded by mountains. Strategic positioning of fairway and greenside bunkers calls for accurate play, rather than long hitting. However, on some holes distances to the greens are deceptive and there is a tendency to under club. There is not a poor hole on the golf course. At the finish of the round there is a beautiful view towards the clubhouse. the club has a 60-room hotel.
