Toscana Valley
Khao Yai
Located in the scenic Khao Yai region around 2–3 hours northeast of Bangkok, Toscana Valley is one of Thailand’s most unique and visually striking golf and lifestyle destinations. Designed to replicate the look and feel of the Italian countryside, the resort features Tuscan-style architecture, rolling hills and mountain backdrops, creating a completely different atmosphere to typical Thai golf resorts.
At the heart of the resort is the Toscana Valley Golf Course, an 18-hole layout designed by Bob McFarland. The course winds through valleys and hills, offering elevation changes, wide fairways and panoramic views throughout the round. It’s a relatively forgiving layout off the tee, but approach shots and green positioning require more precision, particularly on undulating putting surfaces.
Beyond golf, the resort is built as a full lifestyle destination. You’ve got a central piazza with cafés and restaurants, swimming pools, spa facilities, tennis courts and a range of accommodation options from hotel rooms to luxury villas. It’s designed to feel like a self-contained escape rather than just a golf stop.
What makes Toscana Valley stand out is the experience. It’s not just about the golf — it’s about the setting, the architecture and the atmosphere. It’s ideal for couples, groups or mixed trips where not everyone is playing golf every day.

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.
