Unveiled in 2014 following an extensive transformation by the esteemed US design firm Schmidt-Curley, Gassan Legacy Golf Club emerged as a true gem. Stretching over 6,852 yards from the tips, the Gassan course seamlessly accommodates a range of skill levels through its array of strategically positioned tee boxes.

This resplendent Chiang Mai golf course showcases a remarkable evolution, characterized by gently undulating fairways, a tapestry of mature trees, and artfully placed water hazards. In the vein of contemporary course designs, it offers an amalgamation of routes to the greens, catering to both seasoned golfers seeking challenges and those preferring a more straightforward path. The meticulous upkeep of turf, advanced drainage systems, and carefully sculpted greenside hazards serves as a cornerstone of this demanding course. Numerous water features grace the landscape, with Gassan Legacy placing a premium on precision over distance.

The five par-3 holes exhibit a delightful diversity, ranging from 110 to 180 yards from the white tees, each necessitating a distinct club selection. Meanwhile, the array of five par-5 holes commences with a welcoming opener, allowing golfers to find their rhythm before delving into the more demanding stretches.

Gassan Legacy is replete with water hazards and distinctive bunkering, intricately interwoven into its challenging and consistently captivating layout. While long hitters may seize opportunities on select par-4 holes, a meticulous approach closer to the greens remains imperative to evade costly three-putts. The par-5 holes likewise tempt golfers with risk-reward prospects, where water and expansively bunkered areas loom as ever-present challenges. The omnipresence of these hazards instills a demand for astute play, accentuating the role of strategy over pure power.

The clubhouse stands as a distinctive architectural entity, offering a splendid post-golf haven for refreshments and camaraderie. While its facilities may appear modest by Western standards, they exude a distinct charm. Relish the pleasures of golf at Gassan Legacy, experiencing one of Chiang Mai's best-conditioned courses. Thanks to newly installed floodlights, early tee-offs and twilight rounds are now attainable, further enhancing the golfing experience.
