Gassan Legacy Golf Club Details

As a 6,852 yard, 18 hole Par 72, the Gassan Legacy Golf Club is one of the shorter courses in the Chiang Mai area, yardage wise, but the largest golf complex in Thailand. Don’t let the 6,852-yard length fool you, though: the Gassan Legacy Golf Club is a challenge for even the most experienced golfers. Like the Gassan Khuntan Golf and Resort, the Gassan Legacy Golf Club incorporates natural water hazards into every hole, with island greens and other water-related challenges forcing golfers to make risky shots to make par. A simple look at the map of the course will show you that the Gassan Legacy Golf Club has almost as much water as fairway and green. Needless to say, if you can manage to hit the greens and dodge the water on every hole, you'll have proven yourself worthy of virtually any championship golf course in Thailand.

Given the shorter length of the course, the Gassan Legacy Golf Club is made up largely of par four holes. That fact makes the course a good one for long hitters looking to test the power of their tee shot drives. However, more strategic golfers with less powerful swings can still succeed on this course, by using short approach shots (and plenty of patience) to navigate the water hazards with precision.  

In fact, between the amenable length and the prevalence of water, the Gassan Legacy Golf Club is the perfect course to level the playing field between the power hitters and the strategic players. There's a lot of fun to be had at the Gassan Legacy Golf Club by playing the course with a group of family members or friends and seeing whose approach works best for the beautiful but largely unforgiving design of the holes.

Even once you walk off the green at 18, there is plenty to admire about the Gassan Legacy Golf Club. The clubhouse is particular striking, with a gazebo-esque design and an extensive outdoor seating area that overlooks the course and its gorgeous water features. As a spot to stop in for a victory drink or a consolatory meal after your round finishes out, the clubhouse at the Gassan Legacy Golf Club is one of the most beautiful spots at any golf resort in Thailand. An on-site hotel with a mix of 'Superior', 'Deluxe', and 'Suite' rooms makes it easy to extend a trip to the Gassan Legacy Golf Club into a multi-day getaway.
