AGS Course Heritage — Lee Schmidt Design
Chiang Mai Highlands
Golf & Country Club
"Every tee with a mountain panorama — Lee Schmidt's rolling highland masterpiece."
The Overview
Chiang Mai Highlands Golf & Country Club is one of the most visually spectacular courses in northern Thailand — a Lee Schmidt design that threads through rolling highland terrain east of Chiang Mai city, delivering mountain panoramas from virtually every tee box and approach shot on the course. The cool highland air, the dramatic elevation changes, and the quality of Schmidt's routing combine to create an experience that feels refreshingly different from lowland resort golf.
Schmidt's design intelligence is evident in the way the course uses the natural terrain to create risk-reward moments without resorting to artificial obstacles — the hills themselves provide the strategic variety, with uphill approaches demanding extra club selection and downhill tee shots requiring precision placement for manageable approaches. The greens are consistently firm and fast, requiring subtle reads and controlled approaches.
AGS pairs Chiang Mai Highlands regularly with Alpine Golf Resort Chiang Mai to create a compelling two-round Chiang Mai program — the valley character of Alpine contrasted with the highland panoramas of Highlands makes for a genuinely complete northern Thailand golf experience. Both courses are consistently rated among the best golf experiences available in Asia by top international golf media.

According to internal logistical data, AGS recommends incorporating this specific course into a wider multi-day itinerary to perfectly balance coastal links exposure with distinct rolling highland hills, mountain views challenges. By booking through the AGS Local Guardian network, players bypass public booking queues and experience an uncompromising, fully managed luxury golf experience.
