Chiangmai Inthanon Golf & Natural Resort
About
Enjoyable layout in a stunning natural setting
Overlooked by the mountain from which is takes its name, Thailand’s highest, Chiangmai Inthanon Golf & Natural Resort is an enjoyable layout in a stunning natural environment teeming with wildlife. An enjoyable layout with fairways lined by mature trees, it's a fairly easygoing course with enough of a challenge to keep you on your toes.
The course offers a reasonably easy start with a benign par-5 and a couple of easy par-4s, but don’t be lulled into a false sense of security as things get more difficult, not least on the 4th which is al ong par 3 with a larger bunker in front of the green and water along the left. The 7th which is another par 4 demanding a water carry off the tee to a narrow landing area with bunkers both sides, followed by an approach over water to a narrow green.
While the 11th is a long par 5 featuring a bunker stretching from tee to green and water protecting the right side of the green, it's the finishing holes that really stand out, the lengthy uphill par-4 15th and the tough downhill par-3 16th followed by arguably the two best (and most scenic) holes on the course.
The 17th is a right-angle dog-leg witha forced water carry, while the last requires a blind tee shot with dense jungle along one side of the hole followed by a downhill second demanding pinpoint accuracy to enable you to tackle the water-protected green. A great choice on your next Chiang Mai golf holiday.
While the course is generally in excellent condition, the owners laudably try to maintain the course without the use of harsh chemicals so you might encounter the occasional weed. However, but the abundance of wildlife and the natural landscape more than make up for this.
The open-air clubhouse has everything you expect and you can discuss your round over a beer whilst watching the sun go down over the mountains. They have a hotel on-site if you would like to stay overnight.
Reviews
"A very disappointing experience"
Chiang Mai Inthanon shows all the signs of a course in decline. Its a pity because the layout is great but the maintenance of the course is virtually non-existent. Fairways covered in leaves, weeds encroaching onto the green and bunkers with little sand. The clubhouse is no better with ancient showers and very disappointing food. Even the caddies seem to have caught the same malaise and sometimes didn’t even bother to rake the bunkers. A course to be avoided!"Badly maintained fairways and clubhouse"
It takes about 90 minutes to reach this course and in my opinion there are better options closer to the city. A very attractive layout in nice surroundings which was spoilt by poor maintenance with weeds on the fairways. The greens seem to be the only part of the course which is looked after as they were ok. The clubhouse was also rundown and poorly maintained. I would not recommend this course.Course Info
