Hole By Hole Guide to Sand Creek Golf Course
Choose a Hole: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A short 9 hole course, which is great for warming your golf game up. It might be short, but there are plenty enough challenges to keep you occupied, and with plenty of water around - make sure you have enough balls. Find Sand Creek by taking the old Sankampaeng road out of the city, until you reach the traffic lights in Sankampaeng village. Turn left, and follow the winding road for quite some distance until you find the course on the right hand side.
Features
Sand Creek does have a club house complete with swimming pool and tennis courts - but sadly it has been closed for a long time, and a simple metal caddy shack will take your green fee. The green fee is very reasonable as the course is now run by the caddies and their husbands - while this means it isn't in as good condition as some of the other courses in the area, it is a very friendly and accommodating course - ideal for beginners to practice their skills on. Whenever I leave Sand Creek, I feel it is a shame, as the course could be even better than it is.

There are many things said about sand creek and most will be negative but I think it is one of the most challenging courses around chiang mai. Only people who can hit their ball where they aim can hope to have a good score. On the other hand it is short so that a realy diastrous score can be avoided. Long hitters whont like it but if they want to improve their irons it can be a good practice. I think a real golfer wants to improve everay aspect of his or her game. And what is not bad is that the greenfee is less than a couple of coffees at starbucks.
