Gassan Legacy Golf Club – Precision Golf in Northern Thailand

Formerly known as Gassan Lake City, the course was transformed in 2014 by Schmidt‑Curley Design into one of Chiang Mai’s most challenging and scenic layouts. Stretching 6,852 yards, Gassan Legacy is defined by water hazards on nearly every hole, demanding accuracy and strategy over distance. With five par‑3s and five par‑5s, the course offers a diverse test, from island greens to dogleg par‑5s, ensuring golfers use every club in the bag.
