Gassan Khuntan Golf & Resort

Course Overview

Gassan Khuntan Golf & Resort offers one of Northern Thailand’s most scenic and dramatic golf settings, routed through the foothills of Doi Khuntan National Park. The course is known for sharp doglegs, island greens, water carries and steep-edged bunkers that create a visually striking test and demand thoughtful shot-making.

Fairways are generally Bermuda grass with well-conditioned ultra-dwarf Bermuda greens, providing consistent roll and pace. Elevation changes, narrow landing areas and hazards positioned at typical driving distances put a premium on accuracy from the tee. Many holes reward those who can shape the ball around corners, while conservative lines remain available for higher-handicap players.

Gassan Khuntan’s signature holes often feature forced carries over water to island-style greens or fairways, making club selection and wind judgement crucial. Despite its resort setting, this is a course that can quickly punish loose swings, yet it remains a memorable and fun experience for golfers seeking something more adventurous than a typical parkland layout.

What to Expect

On course, you can expect a challenging round with constant strategic decisions, from threading drives between water and rough to attacking or playing safe on island greens. The natural mountain backdrop and cooler northern climate add to the enjoyment, making early-morning or late-afternoon tee times particularly appealing.

Off the course, the on-site resort provides a full range of facilities including clubhouse, pro shop, swimming pool, fitness, Thai massage and an international restaurant. Practice areas typically include putting and chipping greens and a grass driving range, so you can warm up or wind down at your own pace. It’s a great option for golfers who want to combine golf with an overnight stay in a quiet, natural setting outside Chiang Mai.
