The Big-Occasion Course East of Chiang Mai
When golfers around Chiang Mai talk about playing "the serious one", Alpine Golf Resort Chiangmai usually comes up first. Set toward San Kamphaeng, about 45 minutes east of the city near the Lamphun border, this 27-hole championship resort course, designed by Ron Garl, is the kind of place you circle in the calendar: manicured, challenging, and run with the polish of a proper golf resort. It hosted the Asian Tour's Chiang Mai Golf Classic in 2013 and 2014, and the third nine, added in 2016, even features a par 3 played to a green set in a rice paddy, the only one of its kind in Thailand.
Why We Recommend It
Championship pedigree: 27 holes in three combinable nines that reward good course management and punish autopilot golf, in the nicest possible way
Resort comfort: on-site accommodation and spa facilities make it ideal for a stay-and-play break where you roll out of bed onto the first tee
Conditioning: fairways and greens are kept to a standard that surprises first-time visitors to Thai golf
If you are building a golf trip around one highlight round plus a few relaxed ones, this is a natural pick for the highlight.
Practical Notes
Caddies accompany every player, as everywhere in Thailand, and Alpine's know their greens well; a cash tip after the round is customary
Club and shoe rental are available, so traveling light works fine
Cool season (November to February) is prime time and tee times go fast; in hot season aim for early morning
We confirm current green fees, conditions, and any package options when you book, so there are no surprises at the clubhouse
Book Your Round
We arrange tee times at Alpine at fair local rates, with transport from the city if you want it, and honest advice on combining it with other courses. See our guide to golf in Chiang Mai for the full area-by-area picture, or message us your dates and we will sort out the rest.
