Gassan Panorama is the long-hitter’s choice in the Chiang Mai area. It sits across the provincial line in Lamphun, about 35 minutes south of the city, and most holes wind around one large lake with mountains behind. The course opened in 2006 as Gassan Marina and came back in 2017 under its present name after a full renovation and redesign. It is one of three Gassan Group courses in Lamphun, alongside Legacy and Khuntan. The 666-yard par six is the hole people remember.
Gassan Panorama Golf Club green fees and tee times.
Where2Golf says visitors are welcome on weekdays and weekends but must book in advance. Most overseas golfers go through a Chiang Mai agency such as Golfasian, which quotes tee times and green fees on request, or ask their hotel to call. Golfasian caps groups at five. No current visitor rate is published. The latest figure on Where2Golf, ฿4,200 for 18 holes in the November to March high season, was last updated in 2021. Thai Golf Booking sells a package at the same price, but only to Thai nationals and residents. Golfasian reviewers describe the clubhouse as tired, so do not expect resort polish.
The round, in perspective.
Golfasian credits the design to Gassan Construction, the group’s own building arm, while Where2Golf names Pravit Raeng-Po as the designer. It is par 72 with few par fives. Golfasian gives 7,761 yards from the back tees, which would make it one of Thailand’s longest courses, while Where2Golf lists 7,609 and Thai Golf Booking 7,072. Where2Golf’s club tees measure 6,516 yards and its forward tees 6,056, so choose your set carefully. Water is in play on most holes. Several par threes carry over the lake, with bail-out room left and right. Large bunker complexes guard the landing areas. The clubhouse is an Arabian-style building of nearly 10,000 square metres looking over the lake, with Thai and international restaurants, a pro shop and a driving range.

Make the trip work.
Ask for a written quote that states whether the caddie and cart are included, as the listings disagree. Golfasian puts a cart at ฿600, a rental set at ฿900, shoes at ฿500 and an umbrella at ฿300, while Thai Golf Booking lists sets at ฿1,400. Pack extra balls: Golfasian reviewers mention a lot of water and fairways that were soggy after rain. If you play two Gassan courses on consecutive days, ask your agent about a combined price.
The club is in Ban Thi, Lamphun province. Thai Golf Booking puts it about 26 km from central Chiang Mai, and Golfasian allows 35 minutes by car, though Thai Golf Booking’s own overview says 45. From the airport (CNX) allow a similar time. Gassan Legacy is also in Lamphun, so a driver can link both courses in one trip.
Where2Golf notes that Panorama has rooms on site, and hotel booking sites list the club itself as a place to stay in Ban Thi. Most visitors stay in Chiang Mai, where the old city and the riverside give you the widest choice. Lamphun town, 20 minutes away, has a few simple hotels close to its temples.
Make a trip of it.
Gassan Legacy, the group’s other Lamphun course, is the natural second round, and Gassan Khuntan climbs into the hills further south. Alpine Golf Resort is a short drive east. In Lamphun town, Wat Phra That Hariphunchai has a golden chedi that dates back to the Haripunchai kingdom, and the town’s longan orchards fill the countryside around the course.
Find your season.
Play between November and February for dry, mild days. The lake holes collect water in the May to October monsoon, and reviews report soggy fairways in the wet months. March and April are hot and often hazy from crop burning.
Yes. The course opened in 2006 as Gassan Marina Golf Club, the Gassan Group’s third course. It was renovated, redesigned and relaunched in 2017 as Gassan Panorama. Older directories, including Where2Golf and 1Golf, still use the Marina name.
Does Gassan Panorama really have a par six?
Yes. Golfasian lists a par-six hole of 666 yards from the back tee. The course has few par fives, so the par six carries much of the length. Most visitors play forward tees, which make it shorter.
How far is Gassan Panorama from Chiang Mai?
About 26 km, or 35 to 45 minutes by car depending on the source, south-east of the city at Ban Thi in Lamphun province. Arrange your return trip before you tee off, since the club is out in farmland rather than in a town.
