Hariphunchai Golf Club
About
Impeccably-maintained 9-hole course with 18 tee boxes
Located just a half-hour drive south of Chiang Mai, Hariphunchai Golf Course boasts a superb 9-hole championship layout surrounded by rolling hills and towering mountains. Designed by renowned Japanese architect Yoshikazu Kato, who also created the highly-regarded Blue Canyon Country Club in Phuket, Hariphunchai features well-manicured fairways and smooth greens, rivaling the conditions of a private members club.
Each of the nine holes presents risk and reward opportunities, with six featuring water hazards. The course's standout holes include the sixth, a 460-yard par-4 that plays straight into the prevailing winds and features a water hazard along the entire right side of the fairway. The finishing hole, a par-5 stretching over 650 yards, requires three shots for par and demands precision to navigate a large tree situated in the middle of the fairway, allowing for ample room for the second shot.
For golfers seeking variety, Hariphunchai offers two tee boxes on each hole, each positioned at different angles and distances from the fairway, requiring different clubs to reach the greens. Overall, the Hariphunchai Golf Course experience is excellent, and the course is widely considered one of the best-conditioned and most challenging golf courses in Chiang Mai.
The facilities are comparable to the larger resort courses in the area, with good short game and long game practice facilities, knowledgeable caddies and a superb contemporary clubhouse that caters for your every need.
While many golfers will avoid this course as it is only 9-holes, those that do will be missing out on one of the best courses in the region, so its definitely worth considering a round at Hariphunchai Golf Club on your next Chiang Mai golf holiday.
Reviews
Superb condition
This course is the best condition of all the courses in Chiang Mai. Tees fairways and greens are all in mint condition. Water comes into play on everyone and at 7,000 yards from the back tee is a good test. Would love to see the course developed into 18 holes. Green fees are well priced for such a gem of a course.Course Info
