Chiang Mai Highlands Golf and Spa.
The Chiang Mai Highlands Golf Club opened only in 2005 and adds to the range of Chiang Mai’s golf courses. The drive to the course from Chiang Mai city leads through exceptionally beautiful landscape, in eastern direction along extensive rice fields into the mountains.
The Chiang Mai Highlands golf course is built on a 'power spot' - the hermitage of Kuba Sivichai (the revered monk who founded the famous temple on Doi Suthep). This very special site is breathtaking in every direction and literally tingles with an energetic aliveness. Its profound tranquility, high elevation, cool climate, fresh air, pure water, and fertile soil, form the perfect place to sculpt a living golf treasure.
Chiang Mai Highlands was designed by Schmidt-Curley, the same team responsible for the redesign of Muang Kaew Golf Course in Bangkok and many of Asia's exciting new courses. The course itself is set in the hills outside Chiang Mai, giving golfers the distraction of magnificent views on every hole.
The golf course is exciting and challenging for a player of any level and offers the choice of 5 different tee boxes. As golfers tee-off from the first tee and stroll along lush Paspalum grass fairways, a sense of golfing adventure starts.
They are surrounded by magnificent views of the entire course and the mountain skyline in the background, there are over 100 fairway and greenside bunkers. From the inviting downhill 1st hole, the golf course effortlessly flows along, gaining strength, beauty, and character with each passing hole until its thrilling, dramatic finish on the unforgettable 18th.
The large and undulating greens are not easy to play, especially since they are protected by several bunkers. Bunkers and water hazards provide the distinctive note of this course and require a strategic game.
A nice clubhouse with pleasant atmosphere and all facilities provides relaxation before or after the golf round. Chiangmai Highlands has a superbly maintained practice facility including several practice greens, a short game area and a superb 300 yard driving range with a grass tee.
Chiangmai Highlands Golf & Spa Resort was voted #3 for "Best New Course in Asia" by Asian Golf Monthly in 2007. Chiangmai Highlands is one of the best among new breed golf courses in Thailand, and a must play as part of all Chiang Mai golf holidays.
