Nestled in the picturesque Wiang Chai Hills, Waterford Valley Golf Club & Resort offers a unique golfing experience just 40 minutes from Chiang Rai. The course is set on a plateau, surrounded by lush valleys and majestic mountains, creating a striking backdrop for a round of golf. Designed by Rather International in 1994, this par-72 course combines natural beauty with a refreshing climate, making it an appealing destination for golfers visiting northern Thailand.
Waterford Valley's layout presents a mix of challenges and straightforward play. While the course is predominantly flat, several holes feature significant elevation changes, demanding precise club selection. The 9th hole, a 390-yard par 4, requires strategic play with its dog-leg left design and water hazard. Similarly, the 10th hole, a 505-yard par 5, challenges golfers with a drive over water and a narrow, tree-lined fairway.
The course concludes with the 18th hole, a 368-yard par 4 that offers a satisfying finish with its elevation change and birdie potential. After a round, golfers can relax at the clubhouse, enjoying views of Chiang Rai and savoring local Thai cuisine. Accommodation options include an onsite golf lodge and dormitories, with more upscale lodging available in nearby Chiang Rai city center.

The Mountain Breeze Course opens up a bit more, encouraging a bolder approach with wider fairways that are particularly rewarding for those who favor a draw. For the truly adventurous golfer, The River Course stands as the ultimate test. This nine-hole gem requires pinpoint accuracy, with greens often perched on peninsulas or islands, making it an unforgettable challenge for seasoned players.
