North Hill is the most convenient course for a short Chiang Mai stay. It lies in Hang Dong, south of the city, and Golfasian puts it 15 minutes from the airport. That makes it easy to play on arrival day or before an evening flight. The back nine is floodlit, so you can start late and finish after dark, avoiding the worst of the afternoon heat. It is flatter and gentler than the big valley courses to the east, and the listed green fee is among the lowest in the area.

The listed rate is the green fee only. A cart is compulsory with one golfer per cart, and a caddie is listed at ฿300. Soft spikes are required, and food and drinks are not allowed on the course.

The round, in perspective.
The course started as a private 9-hole course in 2011. It grew to 18 holes in 2014 and opened to visitors the following year. Golfasian describes it as a local Thai design. It is par 72 and 6,789 yards from the back on Golfasian and Olsen Tours, while Thai Golf Booking’s card gives 6,241 yards from its black tees, so expect the figures to differ. Golfasian calls it not difficult and good for beginners, but reviewers there mention plenty of water and doglegs in both directions. Doi Suthep stands over the course to the west. The clubhouse is smaller than at most Chiang Mai clubs, with a bar, restaurant, spa, fitness room, pro shop and driving range.

Make the trip work.
With a ฿400 tip, an 18-hole round comes to about ฿4,100 including cart and caddie. Olsen Tours’ last published North Hill packages, for the 2025 low season, ran from ฿3,500 to ฿4,800 a head with transport, so the listed fee and extras cost less unless you also need the transport. A late start lets you play the front nine in daylight and finish under the lights. Golfasian rates the restaurant highly.
The club is at Ban Waen in Hang Dong district, off the Chiang Mai to Hang Dong road, about 15 km from the city centre. Golfasian puts it 15 minutes from Chiang Mai airport (CNX). Grab cars and hotel drivers reach it easily, which makes North Hill the simplest course to reach without a booked van.
Directory listings name North Hill City Resort among the club’s facilities in Hang Dong, so you can stay beside the course. Otherwise, the hotels around the airport and the old city are 15 to 25 minutes away. The Nimmanhaemin area, with its cafés and restaurants, is a sensible base for a mix of golf and city.
Make a trip of it.
Alpine Golf Resort lies east of the city, and Royal Chiang Mai and Summit Green Valley lie to the north. Gassan Legacy and Gassan Panorama are south-east in Lamphun. Off the course, Doi Suthep’s hilltop temple is a drive up the mountain that fills the western view from the fairways, and Hang Dong’s Ban Tawai village is known for wood carving.
Find your season.
November to February is the time to come, with dry weather and mild evenings that suit night golf. Smoke haze is common in March and April. In the May to October rains, the flat ground and water hazards hold water after a storm.
Yes. Olsen Tours notes that the final nine holes are under lights, so you can start in the late afternoon and finish after dark. No night rate is published by the club or the main booking sites, so ask for one along with the latest start time.
How much is a round at North Hill?
Thai Golf Booking lists a green fee of ฿2,800 on weekdays and weekends. A cart is compulsory at ฿600 and a caddie costs ฿300. With a tip of around ฿400, expect to pay about ฿4,100 in total.
Is North Hill good for beginners?
Fairly. Golfasian describes the course as not difficult and good for beginners, and Thai Golf Booking’s red tees play to 5,131 yards. Water comes into play often, though, so new golfers should bring plenty of balls.
How close is North Hill to Chiang Mai airport?
About 15 minutes by car, according to Golfasian. That makes it a practical round on the day you land or before an evening departure. Rental sets are available for ฿1,000 if you are travelling without clubs.
