Chiang Mai Inthanon Golf & Natural Resort Description:
(top course with views of Thailand's tallest peak)

Chiang Mai Inthanon Golf Course & Nature Resort is a 2009 built course south of Chiang Mai and surrounded by tropical fruit orchards. The Chiang Mai Inthanon golf course hilly design, varied layout of holes, and condition of the Bermuda grassed course are good. Golfers get the feeling of being in a natural setting with clean mountain air.

Most holes play with clear views of Doi Inthanon, Thailand’s tallest peak and feature expansive fairways with challenging bunkers. Several creeks meander through the course and water comes into play on 12 of the 18 holes.

The course opens fairly easy with a par-5 and then 2 generous par-4’s. However, don’t let the straightforward opening holes fool you into a sense of security in making a good score for the day as holes 15 and 16 are as tough as any golf in Thailand. Fifteen is a long tough uphill par-4 which is immediately followed by the downhill par-3 sixteenth. The finishing 17th and 18th are definitely the 2 best and most scenic holes on the course and they are considered two of the most attractive holes in Chiang Mai.

The newly built contemporary styled club house at the Chiang Mai Inthanon Golf Resort has basic locker rooms and the service personnel speak only a small amount of English. The restaurant serves common golf fare, while the beers and soft drinks are ice cold. Sitting outside after a round with a panoramic view of both the Inthanon golf course and Doi Inthanon Mountain reinforces what golfing in Chiang Mai is all about.
