The golf course is set
upon a plateau, surrounded by lush valley. It is laid out on the hill summit,
with the course is falling away. It undulates up and down, along the contour of
the plateau. With the natural slope of the hillside coming into play on about
half of the holes, it presents an interesting challenge. The greens are generally
small. Also, you can enjoy panoramic views of row of mountains in every direction.
However, fairways are wide, a lot of water hazards do not come into play as much,
bunkers are shallow and not strategically placed on most holes, so its layout
is not inspiring for advanced players.

A beautiful par 3 over a lake.
The green looks distinctly big compared to the other relatively small greens.

A signature
hole that doglegs to the left. The second shot is over water. The green slopes
slightly from back to front, and is guarded by bunkers on both sides. |

A slight
dogleg to the left. The tee shot is a steep downhill. The fairway is tight and
guarded by trees on both sides, so you need accurate tee and second shots to have
a good score. |

A hole over a natural lake.
The front and left sides of the green face the water and a bunker awaits on the
right, so an accurate shot is needed. |

| |
| A gentle
uphill, straight hole with a lake on the right. The fairway on the tee shot is
wide but as it go closer to the green, the smaller the target area becomes. |

| A short par 4 with the meandering
fairway. The bunkers protecting both sides of the green are deep and the green
slopes from left to right. |

It is a 40 minutes drive both from Chiang
Rai and Chiang Rai Airport and a 3 hours & half drive from Chiang Mai. A loge
is adjacent. The restaurant is open air and the breeze from outside made me very
comfortable. I could choose freely the tees to play from. |
