Golf Courses Near Chiang Mai Old City

Mountain golf within easy reach of Chiang Mai's old town.

Chiang Mai's Old City is a compact, walkable area and a great base for exploring the region. Golf courses are spread around the surrounding hills and valleys, most within 15–30 minutes of the old town moat.

Chiang Mai's golf scene is smaller than Bangkok or Pattaya but offers something different: mountain landscapes, cooler temperatures, and well-maintained courses at significantly lower green fees than resort areas.

Climate note: Chiang Mai is generally the coolest of Thailand's major golf regions — ideal for walking the course. Morning play avoids the afternoon heat even in hot season.
