Gassan Khuntan Golf & Resort: The Special-Occasion Course in the Mountains
An hour from Chiang Mai toward the Khuntan range, Gassan Khuntan is the special-occasion round: 27 holes of mountain and railway views, resort rooms, and holes that keep stealing your attention.
Amber
Toward the Khuntan Range
Some rounds are worth a drive, and Gassan Khuntan is the proof. Set in Lamphun province, roughly 45 minutes to an hour from Chiang Mai toward the Khuntan mountain range, the course now spreads across 27 holes in three nines, The White Bridge, The River, and The Mountain, rolling through genuinely dramatic scenery: mountains on the horizon, holes on the newest nine playing right across the historic northern railway line near the famous white bridge of Tha Chomphu, and views that keep pulling your eyes off the ball.
Why We Recommend It
The setting: mountain and railway views that make this the round people photograph most, there are not many courses anywhere where the train crosses your day
The occasion factor: it feels like an event, ideal as the "special" course in a multi-round trip, and with three nines to combine no two visits play the same
Resort facilities: on-site accommodation turns the drive into an overnight escape rather than a commute
