About this tour
When Tom from our BugBitten team booked this private golf tour in Chiang Mai, he got three days of dedicated fairway time without the usual resort hassle. You're paired with a personal guide and caddies, driven between courses in a private vehicle, and the operator sorts your green fees upfront. It's a neat setup for golfers wanting to focus on their game rather than logistics—the kind of thing that works best for small groups or couples who know what they're after.
Highlights
- Private vehicle and driver means no waiting for group shuttles
- Guide and caddies included, so courses feel less intimidating
- Green fees pre-booked—no fumbling with payment on arrival
- Hotel and airport transfers handle the grind of getting there
- Meals included, so your day flows without side stops
- Chiang Mai has several courses within an hour's drive
- Water and buggy rental bundled, not nickel-and-dimed later
What to expect
This is a no-fuss golf package: the operator picks you up from your hotel or the airport, gets you to the first course with time to spare, and you play with a local guide and caddies shadowing your round. Chiang Mai's courses range from resort-style layouts to older, tighter tracks, so there's some variety across three days. Expect a relaxed pace—caddies chat, guides know the greens, and the whole vibe is service-oriented rather than tournament-tense. Meals are included, so you're either eating at the clubhouse or a nearby spot your guide suggests; it's not fancy, but it beats grabbing a plastic sandwich.
The real ease here is the private transport: no herding with other groups, no waiting for a shuttle that's an hour late. You'll play morning and afternoon rounds, with midday breaks to rest or explore Chiang Mai's quieter outskirts. The courses aren't brutally hard, but they're not pitch-and-putt either—expect a moderate walk and some elevation changes.

Good to know
If you're a competent golfer wanting three solid days on different courses without logistics stress, this nails it. The guide and caddies add local knowledge and pace the round smoothly. Private transport beats waiting in a lobby. Meals included saves time and money. Small-group feel means everyone's comfortable, and the operator genuinely cares about your experience.
Green fees and taxes are separate, so your final bill will be higher than the tour cost suggests—ask upfront what courses you're playing and get a total. Driver and guide overtime aren't included, so long days or detours cost extra. Chiang Mai's heat is real; three rounds in three days is a lot of sun and walking, even if buggies are on offer. You'll need moderate fitness—some courses have undulating terrain. Crowds aren't an issue, but peak season (November–February) books up fast.
Bring sunscreen, a hat, and proper golf shoes; courses won't let you play in flip-flops. Your handicap should be reasonable—guides assume you can handle your own game. Group size is typically up to four players. Pack light; you're in a hotel three nights. Meals are included but usually local canteen fare, not Michelin; let your guide know if you have dietary needs early. Book well ahead in winter.
