Summit Green Valley

Only twenty minutes from the city center, the moment you step on the course you will feel as if you are transported to another world.  The course is lined with palm trees and is one of the more open courses in the area. Billing itself as "The North's Most Popular Course,” a special feature of Summit Green Valley is the possibility to play night golf. And while you are there, make sure to pay a visit to the nearby Tiger Kingdom.

Mae Jo Golf Resort

Mae Jo is a local’s course, which gives it a comfortable, homey feel. Although the course is one of shortest in the area, its narrow fairways will challenge the most experienced golfer, and place the emphasis on accuracy more than strength. A special feature is the numerous fruit trees you will encounter throughout your round, many of which are edible. Throw in the amply stocked refreshment stands every three holes, and you have the recipe for the perfect round of golf.

Chiangmai Highlands Golf Resort

What can one say about a course that was named one of the top three courses in Thailand by Asian Golf monthly except that it lives up to its expectations. The course is about 45 minutes outside of Chiang Mai but as soon as you step on the course the scenery and the sense of being encircled by the surrounding hills will let you know the trip was worth it. Impeccably groomed with undulating greens and rolling fairways and enough bunkers to make life interesting. If you play only one course in Northern Thailand, make sure it is this one.

Alpine Golf Resort

True to its name, Alpine Golf Resort transports you right into the mountains. Indeed, the jungle comes down to the course itself, so that there are some lost balls you simply do not look for unless you want to take a chance at not walking back out. 14, 15, and 16--the courses signature holes--are about as beautiful and challenging a trio of holes as you will play anywhere: a tee off over water at the par 5 14, an island green at the par 3 15 and a 460 yard distance for 16. Designed by world famous golf architect Ron Garl, Alpine can make a case for being the best course in the area.
