Chiangmai Highlands Course Overview
Chiangmai Highlands Golf and Spa Resort is a 27-hole complex in Mae On, east of Chiang Mai, formed by the par-36 Valley, Highlands and Mountain nines. Its foothill routing moves between elevated ground and lower valley corridors, with broad fairways, water and deep bunkers leading to firm, sloping greens. Any two nines create a par-72 round.
Is Chiangmai Highlands Right for You?
Best for: Confident mid-handicap and lower-handicap golfers who enjoy strategic bunkering, elevation changes and firm, sloping greens.
Also suitable for: Higher-handicap golfers who select forward tees and manage the course positionally rather than relying only on distance.

Chiangmai Highlands Golf and Spa Resort in Chiang Mai – Green Fees & Tee Times – Location & Getting There
What It Is Like to Play Chiangmai Highlands
Chiangmai Highlands moves between open foothill views and more enclosed valley corridors. Tee shots often look generous, but the following shot becomes more exact as fairways tilt, bunkers tighten the preferred angle and greens slope away from the line of approach. The three nine-hole loops change the rhythm of the round, yet the recurring test remains consistent: establish position first, then judge elevation and green contours precisely.
The Foothill Landscape Behind Chiangmai Highlands
Chiangmai Highlands occupies foothill and valley ground east of Chiang Mai, with the Valley, Highlands and Mountain nines spread across distinct parts of the property. Tropical vegetation, streams, lakes and changing ground levels separate the holes without making the site feel enclosed. The terrain is not decorative background: it controls sightlines, creates uneven lies and introduces water at different stages of each routing.
Chiangmai Highlands Course Design and Strategy
Schmidt-Curley Design uses broad fairways to present choices rather than remove difficulty. The safest driving line does not always leave the cleanest approach, while deep bunkers punish misses near preferred landing zones and green entrances. Paspalum fairways lead into firm TifEagle greens, many of which slope away from the fairway. Closely mown surrounds widen the recovery options but expose weak distance control. Strategic depth comes from deciding how much angle, carry and contour to challenge before the approach.
How to Play Chiangmai Highlands
Protect Your Approach Angle
Use the wider side of a fairway only when it still leaves a workable line into the green.
Respect the Slopes
Allow for uphill and downhill lies, then favour the side that keeps the ball below the hole.
Use Local Knowledge
Trust local reads on firm greens and closely mown surrounds, where a lofted recovery is not always safest.
How the Three Nines Differ at Chiangmai Highlands
Valley Course (A): At 3,617 yards from the black tees, this is the longest nine. Its routing repeatedly brings water into view and asks players to balance safer lines against stronger approach angles.
Highlands Course (B): Only seven yards shorter from the black tees, this nine maintains full-length pressure. The par-5 ninth is divided by a watercourse before the green, making the second shot primarily a positioning decision.
Mountain Course (C): At 3,522 yards from the black tees, it is the shortest nine, but not automatically the easiest. Changing ground, bunkers and protected approaches continue to punish loose positioning.

How difficult is Chiangmai Highlands?
