Chiang Mai Highlands Golf Club – Award-Winning 27-Hole Mountain Course

Just 40 minutes from the city, Chiang Mai Highlands has rapidly become a North Thailand icon. Designed by Lee Schmidt (Schmidt-Curley Design), the course has collected multiple awards since opening in 2005 and consistently ranks among the top Chiang Mai golf courses. Fresh mountain air, rolling terrain and 27 memorable holes make it a must-play on any Chiang Mai golf holiday or longer golf trip in Thailand.

Why play Chiang Mai Highlands?

• Award-winning 27-hole layout in spectacular mountain scenery
• Designed by Lee Schmidt – also behind Mission Hills, Amata Spring & Siam CC
• 130+ strategic bunkers, undulating greens and multiple tee boxes
• Fast, well-kept Tifeagle greens and Paspalum fairways year-round
• Resort facilities on site: spa, restaurant, practice range, short-game areas

Course & Playing Experience

Pristine Paspalum fairways feed into firm-but-receptive Tifeagle greens that typically run around 10 on the Stimp. Deep bunker complexes frame approaches and demand precise strategy, while closely-mown run-offs around the greens offer plenty of recovery options. Highlights include the dramatic downhill opener and the panoramic closing hole – camera-ready golf from start to finish.

Facilities

A Thai-style clubhouse with restaurant and spa is perfect for post-round relaxation. Multiple practice greens, a short-game area and a full-length grass-tee driving range make warm-up easy. On-site cottages and villas are available if you want to stay right by the course.
