Gassan Khuntan Golf Club
About
One of Thailand's most breathtaking and demanding course
Located beside Khuntan National Park in stunning natural surroundings and carefully crafted landscapes that provide plenty of Kodak moments, Gassan Khuntan Golf & Resort is an impeccably conditioned course that features numerous challenging elements such as sharp doglegs, island greens, water carries, and steep-edged bunkers that can quickly ruin a scorecard.
One of the most difficult holes is the 163-yard par-3 5th, which requires a precise iron shot to hit the small island green surrounded by bunkers. The 360-degree scenic views from the green are remarkable, but any shot in the water or sand will result in a bogey or worse. The final hole is equally impressive and demands an accurate drive and second shot to avoid the water and hit the narrow green in regulation.
In 2018, an additional nine holes opened for play, and even though it is only a par-34, the short course is a standout. It winds through the State Railway of Thailand train tracks, and each hole presents a new challenge to golfers. The fifth hole is the signature hole for this nine, showcasing the course design and surrounding scenery equally well.
The clubhouse at Gassan Khuntan is a basic facility that stands out from the natural surroundings. It features small locker rooms, a pro shop, and a restaurant, with the best views from the terrace overlooking the course. Other facilities include chipping and putting greens, as well as a grass driving range. The on-site resort is best suited for locals, as golfers would be better off returning to Chiang Mai after their round.
Gassan Khuntan is a challenging course that can test even professional golfers. It plays well and is not for the faint-hearted, but the combination of stunning natural scenery and well-crafted landscapes makes it a memorable golfing experience on your next Chiang Mai golf holiday.
Reviews
Challenging Course
Challenging layout, with plenty of cross ravine tee-off and water hazards. Greens were good. Fairways were okay. The course layout were changed but not updated to my Garmin, so I was unable to use my Garmin the course.Great course to play but it’s all about the money, not the golf or customer service.
The course is in great condition and the it tests all levels of play. The facilities are a bit run down. The problem is we felt ripped off at the extra costs and slow play. When we checked in we had to pay for the carts and caddies as usual. They charged us for two carts and two caddies. When we got on the course we noticed most other couples in one cart with one caddie. We were not even offered that option. Once on the course we were just a twosome behind a group of six golfers which is unheard of on a busy course. We saw several groups of six. Our caddies had to drive around to different holes so we could finish before dark. Again it is about the money, get more golfers on the course. The best example of the money issue is when we bought a couple of drinks( Gatorade) before we started playing. We paid for the drinks and asked for a couple of cups with ice. They gave us one paper cup of ice not two. To get the second one we had to pay 20 baht extra. Believe me the 20 baht is not the issue. Have never had to do this anywhere else in the world. After paying thousands of baht to get on the course they have to squeeze a couple more out of you for a paper cup with ice. It just shows where their priorities are for their customers. Again, nice course but we will never go back."A nice layout spoilt by poor management"
The course itself is much improved and the location and views from the clubhouse are spectacular. Everything a bit chaotic with indifferent service in the clubhouse, and the caddies were not great either. During high season can get very busy with Korean golfers making for a slow round.Course Info
