Stardome Golf Club
Thursday, November 28th, 2013Quite like Stardome Golf Club, quite a challenge and plenty of water for even slightly wayward shots.
Played this week all was fine until you get to the greens. I think there was more sand on the greens than in the bunkers, almost impossible to putt, not that good at the best of times, but didn’t need that, ridiculous.
Now, one of our pet hates is dual pricing, in many cases it is hidden and most are not aware. Not Stardome Golf Club:
Clearly states a different and higher price for “Foreigners” , not much, but higher. As I said, quite like the course but will not be going back if this practice continues, I am sure they won’t care but it’s my principles and I simply don’t like it.
If you do bite the bullet and decide to go these young ladies may add to your “golfing” pleasure. The famous Stardome refreshers:
Need refreshing?
Will still continue to use the driving rang, a superb facility and the same price for all.
“Our driving range is the biggest driving range in the northern part of Thailand. It is also fully equipped with the most modern facilities for golf driving with the longest driving range. There are total of 96 drive lanes, with a length of 300 yards, with a real golf course simulator.

Nothing to do with golf whatosever – Chiang Mai Golf Courses
Thursday, September 26th, 2013But I think this is awesome, how about you?
China Pink Army
Golfers start with the non-dominant side of the body facing the target. At address the body and club are positioned parallel to the target line. The feet are commonly shoulder-width apart for middle irons and putters, narrower for short irons and wider for long irons and woods. The ball is positioned in the centre of the player’s stance for short irons and putters, more to the front for middle irons and even more for long irons and woods. The golfer chooses a golf club, grip, and stroke appropriate to the distance:
- The “drive” or “full swing” is used on the teeing ground and fairway, typically with a wood or long iron, to produce the maximum distance capable with the club.
- The “approach” or “3/4 swing” is used in medium- and long-distance situations where an exact distance is preferable to maximum possible distance, such as to place the ball on the green or “lay up” in front of a hazard.
- The “chip” or “half-swing” is used for relatively short-distance shots near the green, with high-lofted irons and wedges. The goal of the chip is to land the ball safely on the green, allowing it to roll out towards the hole. It can also be used from other places to accurately position the ball into a more advantageous lie.
- The “putt” is used in short-distance shots on or near the green, typically made with the eponymous “putter”, although similar strokes can be made with medium to high-numbered irons to carry a short distance in the air and then roll (a “bump and run”). The goal of the putt is to put the ball in the hole, although a long-distance putt may be called a “lag” and is made with the primary intention of simply closing distance to the hole or otherwise placing the ball advantageously.

Golf is a precision club and ball sport in which competing players (or golfers) use many types of clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course using the fewest number of strokes. Golf is defined, in the rules of golf, as “playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the Rules.”
Many golfers wear golf shoes with metal or plastic spikes designed to increase traction, thus allowing for longer and more accurate shots. A golf bag is used to transport golf clubs and the player’s other or personal equipment. Golf bags have several pockets designed for carrying equipment and supplies such as tees, balls, and gloves. Golf bags can be carried, pulled on a trolley or harnessed to a motorized golf cart during play. Golf bags have both a hand strap and shoulder strap for carrying, and sometimes have retractable legs that allow the bag to stand upright when at rest.

Inthanon lost the plot? Chiang Mai Gof Courses
Thursday, May 16th, 2013Normally the innovators in providing some good deals for locals and in general they have taken a huge step backwards.
Prior to the ChiangMai Golf Festival they had sports days on Wednesdays and Fridays at THB700 ,play all day (Caddy fees additional per 18 holes).
The Chiang Mai Golf Festival have the top courses at THB1000 + caddy fees.
What did Inthanon do? Some genius in management decided to drop the sports days and in effect raise the price by THB300 for Fridays and Mondays-duh!
Golfers I know went there on Wednesday, charged THB1000 green fee, THB300 caddy fee, THB600 cart. One of them had a guest who was charged THB500 for the privelige of sitting in the cart. They were also told they should pay tips of not less than THB300!
In addition I was advised that the quality of the greens was awful.
This group will obviously not be going back in a hurry and are telling all their fellow golfers who will be passing it on.
