Santiburi Chiang Rai Country Club Course Overview
Santiburi Chiang Rai Country Club is an 18-hole, par-72 championship course in Wiang Chai District, east of Chiang Rai city. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and opened in October 1992, the course measures 6,982 yards from its published back tees and is open to visiting golfers throughout the year. The front nine moves across relatively level terrain where lakes influence much of the strategy, while the back nine climbs through hillier ground with longer fairways, sloping lies and more pronounced elevation changes. This contrast creates a complete test in which accurate positioning becomes increasingly important as the round develops.

Santiburi Chiang Rai Country Club – Location & Getting There
What It Is Like to Play Santiburi Chiang Rai Country Club
Santiburi Chiang Rai Country Club begins as a relatively open water-led test before becoming more elevated and physically demanding through the back nine. The opening half repeatedly asks golfers to choose the correct side of lakes and fairway hazards, while the later holes introduce longer carries, uphill approaches and sloping lies. Fairways can appear generous, but the strongest approach angle is often available only from one side of the landing area. From a suitable tee, the course remains playable for a broad range of golfers, although the back-tee setup requires confident ball striking and disciplined course management.
The Wiang Chai Countryside Setting
Santiburi lies in the countryside of Wiang Chai District, southeast of Chiang Rai city. The front nine moves through more open ground shaped by lakes and broad views, while the back nine rises into wooded hills and provides a more enclosed inland character. This change in terrain gives the course two distinct visual identities without dividing the round into unrelated sections. The surrounding northern landscape, mature vegetation and distant hills also make Santiburi feel removed from the urban setting despite its practical access from Chiang Rai.
Santiburi Chiang Rai Country Club Course Design and Strategy
Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed Santiburi around changing angles, water placement and the natural transition from flatter ground into the hills. On the front nine, the safest line from the tee can leave a longer approach across or beside water, while the aggressive side introduces a narrower margin for error. The back nine places more emphasis on controlling effective yardage and finding a balanced stance before the approach. The most reliable strategy is to identify the preferred side of the fairway, protect against the major hazard and avoid attacking a difficult flag from an uneven or blocked position.
How to Play Santiburi Chiang Rai Country Club
Respect the Front-Nine Water
Identify the safe side before each tee shot and avoid forcing a diagonal carry when a controlled position still leaves a clear approach.
调整后九洞打法
Recalculate effective yardage for uphill and downhill shots, and prioritise a balanced lie rather than chasing extra distance onto a slope.
Use Your Caddie’s Local Knowledge
Confirm water lines, elevation adjustments and green breaks before committing, particularly through the demanding closing holes.
Santiburi Chiang Rai Country Club’s Signature Finish
Hole 17: Santiburi officially identifies the seventeenth as its signature hole. The par three arrives late in the hillier back nine, making club selection and commitment more important than attempting to attack every flag directly.
Hole 18: The closing par five is one of the course’s strongest strategic holes. Water influences the left side from the tee and returns near the approach route, encouraging golfers to favour position on the right before deciding whether to advance aggressively or leave a controlled third shot.
Together, the final two holes bring the course’s defining features into one sequence: elevation, water, demanding distance control and the need to choose a safe route before attempting the attacking shot.
