Opened in 2005, Chiang Mai Highlands is a high quality, scenic golf course. Set in the mountains 45 minutes east of Chiang Mai, the course has a combination of picture perfect holes and panoramic mountain views. It is a resort style course in top condition with cross-cut manicured fairways and smooth quick greens. After only two years of operation, Chiangmai Highlands catapulted onto the international golf scene as one of the best golf experiences in Asia.  Since then, it has won many prestigious awards. In 2007, Chiang Mai Highlands Golf & Spa Resort was voted #3 for 'Best New Golf Course in Asia' by Asian Golf Monthly. In 2013, the same publication awarded Chiang Mai Highlands the 'Best Value for Money Golf Course in Asia” and the “Best Golf Resort in Asia” followed in 2015. Some of the best practice facilities in the country can be found at Chiang Mai Highlands. There are several practice greens, short game areas with bunkers and a driving range with grass tees, all in quality playing condition. A fantastic design and excellent maintenace conditions ranks Chiangmai Highlands among the best in the north of Thailand and arguably the best in Chiang Mai.
