The driving range is drivel as this man says. They should have a better driving range for such a high quality course. The course is very good and well kept. Caddies could be better. Sand traps have too many pebbles, but the sand actually plays well. All in all, it is a very good corse. They should print the Slope and Course Ratings on the score cards.

As with many others – enjoyed my rounds of golf at Mae Jo – one of the better courses in Chaing Mai.
However I am finding difficulty finding gps maps of the course.

It was quite a shock to read such a negative report on Mae Jo Golf course .I fail to understand how anyone would be
unable to find the Course .My first game there I drove in the Dark and did not have a problem .Turn right at the lights by the University for appox 1 mile ,turn Left at the Large Sign that says Mae Jo Golf 3 Kil .Ther are large signs all the way
to the course from that point on .Which really leaves me scratching my head in disbelief !! How on earth could could a
comparison be made to Lanna or Stardome .Lanna is a Horrible course with Rock hard fairways and too many people
Stardome is really a plastic concoction and cannot be construed as a “Golf Course” .I would venture to say that for a
Quality Course with Quality staff there arent too many Golf Clubs that can compare to Mae Jo .

I am a local Chiang Mai ex-pat resident and have been for 5 years. I have enjoyed Mae Jo ever since I began playing there and have never seen any poor service as cited in your OP. The course is a dream to play…the terrain meanders through fruit orchards and up and down rolling hills. The par 3 #14 is shot from a highly-elevated tee that looks all over the surrounding land all the way back to the city in the far distance. I believe the OP’s main complaint is valid but he simply arrived at MJ too late in the day. Get there in the prime time and you will experience a totally different golf course. If you want to practice at a thriving driving range, then do go to Stardome….the best of them all in the area…plus they have night golf as well.

I think you need to first explain what you expect of a golf course on a Sunday afternoon before you go ahead and recommend that others don’t go there. If you intended to have a meal and a bash on a driving range, then sure there are many better places to go.

If, however, one wishes to play 18 holes of golf around an attractive and interesting course that winds its way through a working fruit orchard….then Mae Jo must be highly recommended.

Agree that Stardome and Lanna have better driving ranges and many shops around. However, if you are after a round of golf (18 holes), I do recommend to play at Mae Jo Golf Club & Resort.
