🌊 A Water Wonderland That Plays Fair

Water is ever-present at Gassan Panorama. It shimmers in the backdrop, borders the fairways, and surrounds several greens. But don’t let that intimidate you. Unlike tighter resort tracks, the fairways here are generous and player-friendly, offering plenty of safe landing areas for strategic golfers who prefer brains over brawn. One of the standout features of this course is the abundance of island-style greens and tee boxes. Long wooden bridges carry you across sparkling lakes, and nearly every hole delivers a moment where you’ll want to pause and take in the view. The elevated visuals, wide-open layout, and reflective water create the “panorama” promised in the club’s name.

⛳ Signature highlights include:

🏝️ Hole 7 – A picturesque par 3 with a full island green surrounded by water. Club selection is key, and the wind can play tricks.

🚤 Hole 12 – A long par 4 with a tee shot across the lake and an approach into a narrow, two-tiered green.

🌁 Hole 17 – A risk-reward par 5 where bold players can cut the corner over water, while conservative golfers take the longer but safer route.

The course is around 7,087 yards from the back tees, playing as a par 72. Greens are large and often multi-tiered, demanding good pace control and rewarding smart lag putting. Despite the amount of water, the layout is surprisingly relaxed and inviting, particularly for mid-handicap players.

🏌️‍♂️ Who Will Love Gassan Panorama?

This is a course that speaks to relaxed golf travelers, photography lovers, and groups who want to enjoy a beautiful day without the stress of ultra-tight fairways or penal layouts. It’s perfect for mid-level players and newer golfers who enjoy a visual challenge without excessive punishment. Because of its open fairways and smart design, it plays very fairly. Aggressive players can still find plenty of risk-reward opportunities, especially with so many water carries and strategic bunkering. But there’s always a safer path — ideal for couples or mixed-skill groups.

🏖️ It’s also one of the most photo-friendly courses in Northern Thailand. The lakes, palm trees, bridges, and elevated tee boxes make every round feel like a postcard moment. Caddies are mandatory and always included, and golf carts are typically part of the package due to the long distances between holes and numerous water crossings. Walking is not recommended.
