Mountain Creek Golf Resort & Residences
Khao Yai
Located in the Khao Yai region northeast of Bangkok, Mountain Creek Golf Resort & Residences is one of Thailand’s most ambitious golf developments, featuring a 27-hole championship layout designed by Seve Ballesteros. Set against a backdrop of mountains and open countryside, it delivers a bold and visually impressive golfing experience.
The course is split into three distinct nines — Highlands, Creek and Valley — each offering a different style of play. The Highlands nine is the most dramatic, with elevation changes and wide views across the landscape. The Creek nine brings water hazards into play throughout, requiring careful shot selection, while the Valley nine offers a more balanced and playable layout.
Mountain Creek is known for its scale and challenge. Fairways are generous in places, but large bunkers, water features and undulating greens mean accuracy and strategy are still essential. It’s a course that suits confident golfers, while still being manageable for mid-handicappers with the right approach.
The resort includes on-site accommodation, a clubhouse and leisure facilities, making it a strong stay-and-play option in the region. Its location in Khao Yai also means cooler temperatures compared to Bangkok and a more relaxed, countryside atmosphere.

About The Area
Khao Yai is one of Thailand’s premier inland golf destinations, set just a few hours northeast of Bangkok and known for its cooler climate, mountain scenery and collection of high-quality courses. Located on the edge of Khao Yai National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the area offers a refreshing contrast to Thailand’s coastal golf hubs.
The standout venue is Kirimaya Golf Resort & Spa, a Jack Nicklaus-designed championship course set within natural forest and rolling terrain. The layout features tree-lined fairways, elevation changes and well-protected greens, creating a strategic and visually striking round. Nearby, Mission Hills Khao Yai Golf Club offers a more open and forgiving layout with scenic mountain views, while Rancho Charnvee Resort & Country Club provides a European-style experience with wide fairways, lakes and a relaxed resort feel.
Golf in Khao Yai benefits from a slightly cooler climate than Bangkok, making it particularly enjoyable between November and February when temperatures are at their most comfortable. The region is playable year-round, but this period offers the best conditions.
Off the course, Khao Yai is known for its natural beauty and slower pace. The national park offers waterfalls, wildlife and hiking trails, while the surrounding area has developed a growing wine scene, boutique resorts and countryside cafés. It’s a destination that feels more rural and relaxed compared to Thailand’s busier golf centres.
For golfers seeking cooler temperatures, scenic courses and a peaceful escape within easy reach of Bangkok, Khao Yai delivers one of Thailand’s most enjoyable and well-rounded inland golf experiences.
