CHIANG RAI GOLF GUIDE

Where to play golf in Chiang Rai

Santiburi Country Club is a 6,966-yard course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. Its signature is the par-five 18th, where water guards the left side and a tee shot to the right opens the approach. That strategic finish gives the round a clear focal point. The club is about 14km from Chiang Rai city and has a driving range and putting green.

Happy City Golf & Resort offers three named layouts: Lakeside, Mountain Breeze and The River. Their different pars and yardages make it easy to bring variety into a longer Chiang Rai golf stay. The resort also has a pro shop, driving range, putting green and restaurant.

Waterford Valley Golf Club is a 6,961-yard, 18-hole course designed by Rathert International Golf Design. Varied hazards keep the round engaging, while northern highland scenery sets the scene. It is about 40km from Chiang Rai city, with a pro shop, driving range and putting green on site.
