Gassan Khuntan
Gassan Khuntan Golf & Resort is home to the first of a challenging triumvirate of Gassan courses, developed in the mid-2000s to the southeast of Chiang Mai, in the province of Lamphun. All three are designed by Gassan's owner Pravit Raeng-Po, and all three bring water into play to a very considerable extent.
Laid out alongside the Khuntan National Park, and with the River Tha (a tributary of the River Ping) running straight through the course, there is plenty to keep your golfing and visual senses fully occupied here.
Like other Gassan properties, the Khuntan layout includes bunkers galore and as much water as your nerves can handle. Island greens, sharp doglegging holes, double-doglegs, carries over water, riverside fairways, fairways split by ditches and some flanked by water on both sides are all in the mix.
In addition to what lies within the layout, there's quite a lot going on beyond the course boundary as well. Very prominent at the southern end, are the twin arches of the Tha Chomphu White Bridge. Other bridges, weirs and waterfalls also feature. To the east the jungle-clad hills of the National Park provides a wonderfully natural backdrop throughout.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
