Royal Chiangmai The 18 hole, par 72, Peter Thomson designed links style course opened in February 1996. The par 4, 4th ( Stroke index/ 1) is very difficult a hole, playing at 440 yards from the back tees and uphill all the way. Not a hole for the faint hearted. This hole is an exception as the key to scoring well, points more towards accuracy than length. More so, considering there are 94 well-placed bunkers to catch any stray shots. You will find many streams and lakes throughout the 18 holes but not all are in play. The course offers all levels of golfers an enjoyable round with a chance to score well
