Royal Chiang Mai Golf Club – Parkland Beauty with British Links Touches

Just 40 minutes north of downtown, Royal Chiang Mai Golf Club is one of the most scenic Chiang Mai golf courses. Designed by five-time Open Champion Peter Thomson, it blends classic parkland golf with British links-style ideas — bumpy fairways, strategic pot bunkers and tightly mown run-offs around the greens. It fits perfectly into custom Chiang Mai golf holidays or longer golf trips in Thailand, with smooth private transfers straight to the course.

Why play Royal Chiang Mai?

• Peter Thomson design — subtle links inspirations in a lush valley
• Beautiful setting with streams, ponds and mountain views
• Elevated greens and high-lipped bunkers reward accuracy over power
• Water in play on most holes keeps every shot honest
• Relaxed clubhouse with terrace views — ideal for a laid-back golf day

Course & Playing Experience

While it’s not long at 6,969 yards, the course asks smart questions: precise approaches into raised greens, closely mown surrounds, and strategically positioned greenside bunkers. Bumpy fairways and gentle undulations echo a British links feel, while water hazards add variety and demand good course management. It’s a fair challenge for all handicaps — enjoyable, picturesque and never boring.

Facilities & Clubhouse

The clubhouse isn’t the region’s flashiest, but it’s friendly, scenic and has everything you need: a pleasant golfers’ terrace, pro shop and simple dining. There’s an on-site resort that mostly serves local players; most international guests prefer to stay in town where we can arrange private return transfers to/from the course.
