Chiang Mai Green Valley Country Club & Golf Course is a championship 18-hole golf course, part of the Green Valley Group of country clubs in Thailand. It takes about 25 minutes to reach the course from the city center by car. The appearance of the fairways, lined with palm trees, seems wide, but golfers must be careful in that traps like water hazards and bunkers are plentiful and carefully sited by the course designer, thus making the fairways narrow and leaving no room for the wayward shots. Within and around the golf course, there is also land allocated for a housing estate providing a serene view of the lake. The total area covers 1,300 rai.
