9-hole parkland course set among ancient trees and lush fairways

A Round Worth Playing

The Chiang Mai Gymkhana Club golf course is a 9-hole parkland design that presents a fair challenge to golfers of all ability levels. Matured trees line the fairways, providing beauty and strategic challenge throughout the round. The course layout offers a wonderful balance between playability and championship-level competition.

Each hole is thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the natural landscape while maintaining the high standards expected by our membership. Whether playing your first round or your hundredth, you will find the course engaging, fair, and memorable. The elevation changes and tree-lined fairways create an experience that rivals courses in far more prominent golf destinations.

Our grounds crew maintains the course to the highest standards, ensuring that greens, fairways, and rough are always in excellent condition regardless of the season.

Golf has been played on this land since the club's founding in 1898, making the Gymkhana course the oldest in northern Thailand. The original layout was designed for simultaneous use with polo and cricket which is why the routing is unlike any modern course you have played. The fairways were historically maintained by grazing cattle rather than machinery. The hazards include trees that have been growing here for over a century. Explore the course's history.
