Chiang Mai Inathon Golf Resort

Chiang Mai Inathon Golf Resort

The Doh Inathon mountain range is the setting for yet another fantastic golf course deep in the heart of Chiang Mai province. and only 10 years old it has very much established itself as a favorite in the region. The course itself nestled next to fruit orchards and has stunning hillside views, measuring 7,268 yards from the very back tees it is like other courses across the region a long par 72 course. Thailand’s highest mountains are an enviable backdrop to another great bucket-list golf course.

Chiang Mai Inthanon Golf Course & Nature Resort is a course constructed in 2009 south of Chiang Mai and encircled by tropical fruit orchards. The rugged design of the Chiang Mai Inthanon golf course, the different configuration of the holes and the condition of the Bermuda grassed course are superb. Golfers have the feeling of being in a natural environment with clean mountain air.

The course opens relatively straightforward with a par-5 and then two accommodating par-4’s. But don’t let the simplistic opening holes deceive you into a sense of confidence in making a good score for the day, as holes 15 and 16 are as difficult as any golf in Thailand. Fifteen is a long, tough uphill par-4, immediately followed by a downhill par-3 sixteenth. The finishing 17th and 18th are the two strongest as well as the most scenic holes on the course.

The modern cultural clubhouse at Chiang Mai Inthanon Golf Resort has all the essentials you would require from a golf course of its calibre. The restaurant serves typical golf fare, while the beers and soft drinks are icy cold and awaiting you post-round. Sitting out after a round with a spectacular view of both Inthanon Golf Course and Doi Inthanon Mountain validates what golfing in Chiang Mai is all about.
