The Chiang Mai Highlands Golf Club opened in 2005 and significantly added to the quality of Chiang Mai golf courses. The drive to Highlands from Chiang Mai leads through exceptionally beautiful landscape, in an eastern direction passing rice fields and plantations into the mountains.
The Chiang Mai Highlands golf course is built on a 'power spot' - the hermitage of Kuba Sivichai (the revered monk who founded the famous Doi Suthep temple). This site is breathtaking in every direction. Its tranquility, high elevation, cool climate, fresh air, pure water, and fertile soil, form the perfect place for the 27-hole layout.
Chiang Mai Highlands was designed by Lee Schmidt of Schmidt-Curley Design from the USA and the same designer as Mission Hills, Amata Spring, Siam CC, and other top golf courses in Asia. After only two years of operation Chiangmai Highlands was catapulted onto the international golf scene as one of the best golf experiences in Asia.
