Designed by Dennis Griffiths, the same architect as the Bangkok Thai Country Club, the Green Valley layout is one of the best kept in Chiang Mai. Green Valley is a long and testing course with water on almost every hole. This second Green Valley golf course is very difficult to par, especially from the back tees.
The golf course is the closest course to Chiang Mai and is always in top condition. The 416 yards, par 4, 9th hole provides a memorable golf experience. The tee shot must carry over water and the fairway has sand traps left and right at the landing area. The 2nd shot is also over water to an elevated island green encircled by big palm trees.
This top course nearest to Chiang Mai city should be part of every Chiang Mai golf holiday. It is a great golf course to include, especially as part of Chiang Mai golf packages that include golf on the same day of arrival or departure from Chiang Mai.
