ガッサン クンターン ゴルフ & リゾート

Gassan Khuntan Golf & Resort Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai

This course is for advanced players and is located in a hilly area 500 meters above sea level. It is a challenging design that makes the most of the natural terrain. The outer course incorporates many water hazards such as ponds and rivers, while the inner course features many undulating holes with woods and bunkers.

Most of the greens are elevated, so accurate approach shots are required. The bunkers guarding the greens are very deep, so course management is required to avoid hitting them. The scenery of several mountains is wonderful, and combined with the beauty of the overall golf course, it is a beautiful course.

Course Introduction

  • Gassan Khuntan Golf & Resort

A dogleg to the right that bends at a nearly right angle. The downhill tee shot is pressured by ponds on both sides. The green is highly elevated and the guard bunker in front of the green is 5 meters deep, so caution is required.

A long straight par 5. The tee shot is characterized by a narrow landing area with bushes on the left and a river on the right. You will not be able to make par unless you have the distance and accuracy of all three shots. The green is a horseback green with a high center. At the back of the green, there is a famous white bridge, and if you are lucky, you can see a train passing by.

This is a signature hole on the island green. It is a back-to-back green. It is not long, but the target green is small and if you miss the green, you will land in the pond, so an accurate shot is required.

A straight hole surrounded by woods. The tee shot is over local vegetation. The woods make the whole hole look tight, but this hole is also tight. The green slopes steeply from right to left.

A straight hole with a river on the left and a pond on the right. The landing spot for the tee shot is tight, so long hitters are safer using a fairway wood. The green is highly elevated and the guard bunker on the front right is deep. The official length is 442 yards, but the ground from the back tee has been removed, making it a short middle hole of 352 yards.

A beautiful par 4 with a short dogleg to the left. There are water hazards on both sides, so the downhill tee shot requires accuracy. If you make a good tee shot, the second shot is not too far, so you can aim for a birdie. The green slopes back to front.

A short hole with a slight uphill approach. The green is about 7 meters high like a small hill, and the slope above the green is also steep. If you miss the green, it will be difficult to save par.

This hole curves at a right angle. The tee shot is slightly downhill and requires a 230-yard carry over a pond. The green backs to the side and is flanked by bunkers on both sides.

A straight, long par 5. The tee shot is strongly uphill, and the second shot is downhill. Curving the tee shot to the left or right increases the chance of the ball being lost, so an accurate shot is required. The second shot is a blind shot, which is a drawback. The third shot is a difficult line downhill from the left foot, towards the green surrounded by bunkers. A creek crosses in front of the green.

  • Gassan Khuntan Golf & Resort

A straight, difficult hole. The fairway is tight. The fairway slopes from right to left, so the second shot is from a toe-up lie. The green slopes steeply from back to front, and the bunker guarding the right side of the green is in play.

  • Gassan Khuntan Golf & Resort

A short hole over a pond. The green is long and narrow, with a depth of only about 10 yards, so choosing the right club is important.
