Teak, rice fields and the longest walk to a green in the north.
Alpine is the Chiang Mai course that has hosted the Asian Tour. Ron Garl laid out the first 18 in a valley east of the city, and the club later added a third nine that runs through pine, marsh and working paddy fields. The Asian Tour came here for the Chiangmai Golf Classic in 2013 and 2014. A 78-room hotel, spa and pool sit beside the clubhouse, so you can stay on site. The club bills its ฿6,500 visitor package as green fee, caddie and cart, so there is little to add on the day apart from a tip.
Alpine Golf Resort Chiang Mai green fees and tee times.
The club’s website has no online tee sheet. Its “Book a visit” button leads to a contact form, and reservations go to contacts@alpinegolfresort.com or +66 53 880 888. The course opens daily from 06:00 to 19:00. Golfasian caps groups at five players. Trazy, which sells the package, states that the club assigns your two nines on the day according to conditions and availability, so you cannot always choose your route. Visitors and Thai residents pay different rates. Afternoon golfers can take the 9-hole visitor rate after 15:00.

The round, in perspective.
The club credits the design to Ron M. Garl together with the Thai architect Pirapon Namatra (spelt Nanatra on its website), and Golfasian dates the opening to 2008, with the new nine following in 2016. The resort covers about 450 rai of former forest, and teak and mahogany still frame many holes. The three nines are labelled A (the Morning course), B (the Valley course) and C (the Sanctuary course), and Golfasian lists 7,541 yards from the black tees for the main 18. The 4th on the A nine is a 652-yard par five, among the longest holes in Thailand. A stream runs beside and across the 7th, where a spirit house stands by the tee. The 9th, a par four, crosses water twice by way of an island fairway, and the 11th, a 524-yard par four bending left round water, is ranked the hardest hole. One par three is ringed by working rice fields, which Golfasian calls the only paddy green in Thailand. The club promises a minimum Stimpmeter reading of 10.

Make the trip work.
Put Alpine early in your week, while you are fresh. Golfasian lists 7,541 yards from the black tees, and one reviewer there reported a round of five and a half hours, so start early. Allow about ฿7,000 a head once you add a ฿400 caddie tip, the figure Chiang Mai agencies such as Olsen Tours suggest, to the visitor package. Partners who ride along pay the ฿600 follower fee. A late start on the 9-hole rate fits well after a morning at the Bo Sang umbrella village, which is on the way out from town.
The resort is about 25 km east of Chiang Mai on the San Kamphaeng to Ban Thi road. The club puts it 30 minutes by car from both the airport (CNX) and the city centre, while Golfasian allows 40 minutes from town. Public transport does not run to the gate, so book a hotel car or an agency van with room for the clubs.
Staying on site saves the drive at dawn. The resort lists 78 rooms, ranging from superior and deluxe rooms to junior suites, a grand suite, the Alpine Royal Suite and pavilion rooms, and it sells resort packages on its website. Facilities include a spa, pool, jacuzzis and a fitness room. Golfers wanting nightlife stay in the old city and drive out.
Make a trip of it.
Chiangmai Highlands is the obvious partner, further east in the Mae On foothills, with Schmidt-Curley’s paspalum nines. Gassan Legacy and Gassan Panorama are both close by in Lamphun, so three days in the east need little driving. Away from golf, the San Kamphaeng road is lined with workshops for silk, silver and painted umbrellas, and the old Haripunchai temple of Wat Phra That Hariphunchai is south in Lamphun town.
Find your season.
November to February brings the coolest mornings and the club’s high-season rates. Smoke from crop burning often hazes the valley from February into April, when heat builds fast after 10:00. The rains arrive around May and last into October, and paddy-side holes can be soft after a storm.
How much does it cost to play Alpine Golf Resort Chiang Mai?
The club’s package page lists ฿6,500 for an 18-hole visitor round with caddie and cart, and ฿3,150 for nine holes after 15:00. That rate was published for November 2025 to February 2026. Thai nationals and residents pay ฿3,000. A tip for the caddie is extra.
Did Alpine Golf Resort Chiang Mai host a tour event?
Yes. Golfasian records that the Asian Tour’s Chiang Mai Classic was played here in 2013 and 2014, and the club says it was named Best Golf Resort at the Asian Tour awards in both years.
Can I choose which nines I play at Alpine?
Not always. Trazy’s package terms say the club assigns the nines on the day. Golfasian dates the third nine to 2016. If you want a particular pairing of the A (Morning), B (Valley) and C (Sanctuary) nines, ask when you book and again at check-in.
