Amber
Mae Rim's Parkland Favorite
Some courses are for the calendar highlight; others are for actually playing golf regularly while you are in town. Summit Green Valley Chiangmai Country Club in Mae Rim, roughly 20 to 25 minutes north of the city, is the classic in the second category: a Denis Griffiths parkland design from 1990 on the Ping River plain that locals, expats, and visitors keep coming back to. Many regulars still call it simply Green Valley, its name before the Summit group took it over.
Why We Recommend It
Close to the city: near enough for a morning round with your afternoon still intact
Classic parkland golf: mature trees, water in play, honest scoring, a proper test without gimmicks
Perfect for combinations: play 18 in the morning, then temples, markets, or a massage in the afternoon
