Kirimaya Golf Resort & Spa - Scenic Golf in the Heart of Khao Yai

Kirimaya Golf Resort & Spa – Nature, Elegance, and Nicklaus Design in the Heart of Khao Yai

In the heart of the Khao Yai highlands, where forested hills and cool breezes shape the atmosphere, lies one of Thailand’s most scenic and serene golf destinations: Kirimaya Golf Resort & Spa. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, this 18-hole championship course blends harmoniously into the natural contours of Khao Yai National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The result is a layout that feels more like a nature walk with clubs than a typical round of golf – and that’s exactly its charm. For golfers looking to reconnect with the game in a setting that soothes the senses, Kirimaya is a rare find. Whether you’re escaping from the bustle of Bangkok for a long weekend or planning a romantic golf getaway, this course and its resort surroundings offer a tranquil alternative to more crowded, high-traffic layouts.

⛰️ A Jack Nicklaus Design Rooted in Nature

Stretching to just over 7,100 yards, the course at Kirimaya offers plenty of room off the tee, with wide fairways and gentle doglegs that reward confidence more than brute force. The routing plays along low ridges, forest edges, and natural water features, giving each hole a sense of privacy and quiet. Nicklaus was careful to preserve the integrity of the natural landscape, using the hills and existing vegetation to shape fairways and frame greens. This course is approachable for all skill levels but never dull. Experienced players will find challenges in the angled approaches, strategic bunkering, and the occasional elevation change that demands thoughtful club selection. Beginners and mid-handicap golfers will appreciate the openness and the friendly pace of play. There is no rush at Kirimaya – just crisp air, soft grass, and a feeling of being far removed from the rest of the world.

Signature holes include:

🌳 The par-5 6th, a sweeping dogleg right that follows the natural shape of a hillside and sets up a risk-reward second shot over a hidden bunker complex.

📍 The par-3 13th, where your tee shot plays over a wide natural marsh, framed by flowering plants and the distant mountain ridge – one of the most photographed holes in Khao Yai.

🔹 The 18th hole, a long par-4 that climbs slightly back toward the elegant clubhouse, where every final approach is framed by tropical forest and the resort’s warm architecture.
