Gassan Khuntan Golf & Resort

Gassan Khuntan Golf & Resort is a 27-hole mountain forest course set within Lamphun province, approximately 45 minutes by road south of Chiang Mai International Airport. Operated by the Gassan Golf Group — the dominant golf brand in Northern Thailand — the course is built across three distinct nine-hole loops named White Bridge (Course A), River (Course B), and Mountain (Course C). The main 18-hole combination plays to par 72 over approximately 7,062 yards. The setting is one of the most dramatically natural in Northern Thailand: the course is ringed by the forested ridges of Doi Khuntan National Park, and several holes play with the mountain silhouette as a constant backdrop. This remote, mountainous atmosphere distinguishes Gassan Khuntan from the more accessible resort courses nearer Chiang Mai city and gives it a reputation as the wildest and most adventurous of the Gassan Group properties. Golfers seeking a change of pace from valley parkland layouts will find the rugged terrain and elevated setting a compelling alternative.

Gassan Legacy Golf Club

Gassan Lake City Golf Club — now operating as Gassan Legacy Golf Club — is an 18-hole championship course in Ban Thi, Lamphun province, approximately 30 minutes south of Chiang Mai International Airport. Originally opened in 2005, the course was closed in 2013 for a full-scale renovation by American design firm Schmidt-Curley and relaunched in 2014 under the Legacy name. The renovation transformed a dated layout into one of the most water-intensive courses in Northern Thailand, with water hazards appearing on every hole — a design feature that demands accurate iron play and careful course management throughout the round. The course is part of the Gassan Golf Group, which operates three courses in the Lamphun/Chiang Mai area. At 6,852 yards and par 72, Gassan Legacy plays to a demanding standard and draws both local members and visiting golfers looking for a well-conditioned, challenging layout that contrasts with the more forested mountain settings of the Gassan Khuntan and Panorama properties.
