Royal Chiang Mai is an exciting and challenging course for amateur and professional alike, whilst still keeping in harmony with the natural scenery and rolling countryside.
The course was designed by Thomson Wolveridge & Parrett under supervision of five-time British open Champion, Peter Thomson and uses elements from a British links style course, including bumpy gently rolling fairways, pot bunkers and closely mowed areas around the greens.
There are strategic positioning of fairway and greenside bunkers which call for accurate play, rather than long hitting. However, on some holes, the distances to the greens are deceptive and there is a tendency to under club.
Royal Chiang Mai is set in a beautiful valley and the scenery is magnificent. The 2000 rai site, a former fruit orchard, provides breathtaking panoramic vistas of mountains in the distance. The high altitude provides a cooler, less humid climate, sweet refreshing air, and gentle breezes. It’s filled with the songs of birds, an abundance of wildlife, and thousands of flowering trees erupting in different fragrances and colors every month of the year.
At the finish of the round there is a beautiful view towards the clubhouse which features a 54-room golf resort.
