How Alpine Golf Resort Chiang Mai Compares to Other Chiang Mai Golf Courses
Alpine sits at the premium end of Chiang Mai’s golf offering. It’s more refined and tournament-focused than resort-style courses, more structured than scenic mountain layouts, and generally more demanding than courses like Summit Green Valley or the Gassan venues. For many golfers, Alpine represents the benchmark championship experience in Chiang Mai — combining challenge, consistency, and professional standards into a standout round in the region.
This 27-hole championship layout was originally designed by Ron M. Garl and has been expanded and refined to meet international standards. It challenges golfers of all skill levels with strategic bunkering, undulating greens, and water features that come into play throughout the course. Whether you’re playing the original 18 or exploring the newer third nine, each hole is carefully crafted to flow with the natural terrain, making the most of the elevation changes and lush surroundings.
Championship Golf with a View in Chiang Mai
Originally an 18-hole course, Alpine was expanded to 27 holes and consistently earns praise for its design, maintenance, and variety. The original 18-hole course (A & B loops) features water hazards, elevated greens, and bold bunkering – all while staying fair for mid-handicap players. The newer C loop offers more dramatic terrain and sweeping mountain views, perfect for extending your round or mixing up your challenge. It’s a former host of the Asian Tour, and yet it remains playable and welcoming for casual golfers. The setting, service, and layout all contribute to a round that feels like a true golf escape. Caddies are mandatory and always included, and golf carts are typically part of our packages. Due to the terrain and course layout, walking is not recommended.
Alpine Golf Clubhouse Comfort and Resort Experience
Alpine Golf Resort Chiang Mai is more than just a golf course, it’s a destination. The modern clubhouse offers panoramic views of the course and mountains, and includes a pro shop, fine dining options, locker rooms, and spa facilities. The on-site resort provides stylish accommodation for those who wish to stay overnight or make it a multi-day golf retreat, with packages that cater to individuals, groups, and golf societies.
