Surrounded by all this beautiful scenery which includes several picturesque waterfalls and the iconic railway bridge it is easy to get distracted from the many challenges that this course will throw at you.  

For those staying in Chiang Mai city centre, it takes a little under an hour to travel south to Gassan Khuntan Golf and Resort.  This golf course is considered by many to not only be one of the most beautiful in Chiang Mai but the whole of Thailand.

One of three golf courses owned by the Gassan Group, the course was designed by Mr. Pravit Reungpo and opened for play in 2004.  The par-72, 27 hole golf course is surrounded by Doi Khuntan National Park and mountains, which combine to give the course a stunning backdrop.

The course has been created around some of the best and most famous landmarks in Doi Khuntan National Park which include Khuntan Tunnel and the Khuntan Railway Bridge.  Much of the course has been man made but nature has also played a big role and you will struggle to keep you camera away as you play around the 27 holes.

However, if you want to score low at Gassan Khuntan Golf and Resort you cannot afford to take your eye off the golf course for long.  Not only is this one of the most beautiful golf courses in Chiang Mai it is also one of the most challenging.

The obstacles are the main reason why Gassan Khuntan Golf and Resort is such a tough test.  There are three island greens in total.  Most golf courses would be happy to include one and this underlines the challenge faced by players at Gassan Khuntan Golf and Resort.  There are other water carries and bunkers which provide further danger plus several of the holes have sharp doglegs.

The first island green is found on the par-3 5th hole.  It is a small green protected by bunkers in addition to the water and the best bet is to aim for the middle of the green.  Attacking the pin can prove costly if it is near the edge of the putting surface.

The additional 9 holes are new having opened for play in 2018.  The course plays through the State Railway of Thailand train tracks, which is an interesting twist.  However, this set of 9 holes boast the same exceptional scenery and challenge as the original 18 holes at Gassan Khuntan Golf and Resort.

Away from the golf course and the clubhouse is basic but features locker rooms, a pro shop and restaurant.  Players can enjoy a drink and something to eat on the terrace which overlooks the course.  Additional facilities at Gassan Khuntan Golf and Resort include a driving range and putting green.

Gassan Khuntan Golf Resort

Good variety of holes

Reviewed by ; on
First impressions of course is very impressive. Played B then A. B was in fantastic condition and some great holes. First 2 or 3 holes on A fairways were poor but after that no problem. Got stuck behind a 7 ball. This was a new experience for me but apparently quite common. Saw a few more of these on the way around. I would hope they can change this but I think this is embedded into how members can play. Caddies were resourceful by skipping a couple of holes and returning to them later on. Luckily it was quiet enough to do this. Got a hole in one on the A course 5th hole island green and was presented with a certificate and goodies from the pro shop by the Assistant Managing Director which was a nice touch. Was my first ever one so something to remember it by.

Great course to play but it’s all about the money, not the golf or customer service.

Reviewed by ; on
The course is in great condition and the it tests all levels of play. The facilities are a bit run down. The problem is we felt ripped off at the extra costs and slow play. When we checked in we had to pay for the carts and caddies as usual. They charged us for two carts and two caddies. When we got on the course we noticed most other couples in one cart with one caddie. We were not even offered that option. Once on the course we were just a twosome behind a group of six golfers which is unheard of on a busy course. We saw several groups of six. Our caddies had to drive around to different holes so we could finish before dark. Again it is about the money, get more golfers on the course. The best example of the money issue is when we bought a couple of drinks( Gatorade) before we started playing. We paid for the drinks and asked for a couple of cups with ice. They gave us one paper cup of ice not two. To get the second one we had to pay 20 baht extra. Believe me the 20 baht is not the issue. Have never had to do this anywhere else in the world. After paying thousands of baht to get on the course they have to squeeze a couple more out of you for a paper cup with ice. It just shows where their priorities are for their customers. Again, nice course but we will never go back.

"A nice layout spoilt by poor management"

Reviewed by ; on
The course itself is much improved and the location and views from the clubhouse are spectacular. Everything a bit chaotic with indifferent service in the clubhouse, and the caddies were not great either. During high season can get very busy with Korean golfers making for a slow round.
