Duckhook Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Ladies & Gents I shall be in Chiang Mai for a brief stay next month. I hope to make time for one round of golf. I will be staying in town, and will be using public transport, presumably a taxi. Your recomendations would be appreciated. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suthep_Steve Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I've only ever played at Lanna Sports club. Mainly because it's the nearest to town by a long way and I like it there. I've played there about once a week for the last month or so. They have 29 holes, it can be a little busy even mid week cost just short of 1000 bart for 18 holes midweek, more at the weekend. They have a driving range and you can rent clubs but I don't know how much they are. It's on the Mae Rim road only about 2 or 3 miles away from the centre of town. Your next nearest for 18 holes is Chiang Mai Green hills, I've never played there but it's in Mae Rim quite a bit further out than the Lanna.

We played the nine that has several holes inside the race track, and then a very wooded section for our back nine. I enjoyed it as well--just liked Lamphun more. I have some pictures of Lanna on my site as well--work back from my earlier post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimGant Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Duckhook, huh? Can't recall any courses in CM with all dogleg left fairways..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Agree with others thoroughly enjoyed Lanna. As far as I know Green Hills & Lamphun are quite long. Lanna has some nice water, but not too punishing (famous lastwords!!) Gymkhana also close to town & the oldest. Any good?? Whilst on the subject, what's the situation re. regular rounds, friendly & comp. out there? Love my golf in UK (course only 5min from home), & would like to carry on at least twice a week when we move out to CM.

ThaiPauly Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Gymkhana also close to town & the oldest. Any good?? I play at Gymkhana, I like it because I am a novice golfer and because its never to busy it means that I can play badly ,slowly. Very cheap to compared with other clubs in CMX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cheap to compared with other clubs in CMX <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What I like about Gymkhana is that it is a walk-only course, not bothered by electric carts and guys jumping out, hit, jump in again and race away, it almost looks like work this way. Play the course 2-3 times a week, am a high handicapper so it is fine for me. Lanna is much larger, Green Valley even better but further out. Lanna and Gymkhana can easily be reached by tuk-tuk.
