Mae Jo Golf Club is located behind Mae Jo University, the oldest agricultural college in Chiang Mai. The golf course being only a 20 minute drive from Chiang Mai is very popular with golfers looking for a high quality fun course that is not too far from their Chiang Mai hotel.
Seni Thirawat, Mae Jo?s course designer, is a poplar local Thai golf course architect. The Mae Jo golf course he designed is well suited for golfers of all abilities. Narrow fairways with Zoysia grass are perfect for low handicap player. Several water hazards and doglegs as well as long par 5?s require a demanding game. The Korean Velvet greens are mostly wide but often with a slope.

The course features rolling zoysia grass fairways and large challenging Korea Velvet greens with beautiful views of Doi Suthep and other surrounding mountain ranges. With thousands of matured Longan, Lychee, Mango, Pomello, and Tangerine trees alongside its fairways, the golf course looks and plays more like a well-matured course rather than a newly constructed one.
The course also features several elevated tees not only to allow golfers to enjoy the panoramic views of the course, the fruit orchard and the surrounding mountain ranges but also to make plays on the holes more interesting and challenging.
From the yellow tees, low handicappers will play the course 6,537 yards long while higher handicappers can play from white tees with the course being 6,199 yards long. Ladies or senior golfers may play the course at 5,511 yards from the red tees.
