Santiburi Country Club Chiang Rai opened 1993 designed to take advantage of the natural terrain by Robert Trent-Jones Jr, one of the world's finest golf course designers, this is a championship 18 hole, par 72 test for novice or golf professional alike.

The course designer has gone through a great deal of effort to create a water-friendly course with plenty of bunkers, sloping lies and good dog-leg holes. None is more difficult than the course's par-5 18th where not only do players have to negotiate around a water hazard on the left side of the green from the tee shot, but also on the right of the green on the approach shot. Designed to maximize the risk/reward theory means varied options for many of the par 4 and 5 giving conservation approaches for the novice and challenging hazards for the more experienced golfers." There is also hotel accommodation on-site.

Alpine Golf Resort

The Alpine Golf Resort Chiang Mai comprises some 450 rai of land that nestles in a valley between the mountain ranges in the heart of the San Kampaeng natural forests. It is undoubtedly one of the golf courses in Chiang Mai that boast of the best in natural beauty. The design of the course, by world-famous golf course designer Mr Ron M Garl, was inspired by the magnificent hills in its horizon. No matter where you are on the course, you are enjoying nature at her best: exquisite lush green from the nearby forests – which comprise a rich assembly of trees such as the golden teakwood, the Dipterocarpus Alatus and many more other species.

In planning this new golf course, we have maintained a clear "Alpine" philosophy all the way – which translates to the quality of our products and the professional standards of our services. A visit to The Alpine Golf Resort promises an unforgettable experience. First, the course is complete with a full range of facilities including a 4-star resort so that you can bring your family members for a well-deserved breakaway. Then, the 18-hole course is designed along championship standards to challenge the serious player, although indeed anyone who enjoys golfing in the fresh country air, close to nature, would find it equally pleasant. Last but not least is the opportunity to enjoy good food and the pleasure of a spa indulgence after your round of golf – and all this in the spectacular ambience of the hills of Chiang Mai.
