Summit Windmill Golf Club

About this course
Summit Windmill Golf Club occupies a flat, low-lying site in Bangplee, part of the greater Bangkok metropolitan area in Samut Prakan province. Designed by Nick Faldo and opened in the mid-1990s, the course reflects the British major champion's early design work in Southeast Asia during a period when Thailand was rapidly expanding its golf infrastructure. The layout takes its name from the traditional windmills that dot the property, serving as both visual landmarks and nods to the region's agricultural heritage before development. The course navigates typical central Thai terrain with minimal elevation change, relying on water hazards, bunkering, and strategic tree placement to define holes and create challenge. Faldo's routing incorporates numerous lakes and canals that come into play throughout the round, a practical response to drainage needs in this flood-prone region as well as a design element. The flat topography allows for relatively open sightlines, though mature trees frame many fairways and greens. Summit Windmill serves both local members and visiting golfers in the Bangkok area, functioning as one of several courses in a region where golf remains popular among Thai players and expatriates alike. The club offers standard amenities typical of Thai golf facilities from this era, including a clubhouse with dining areas and practice facilities. Its location near Suvarnabhumi Airport makes it accessible for travelers, though it operates primarily as a local daily-fee or semi-private facility rather than a destination course.

Getting there
The gateway to Summit Windmill Golf Club is Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK), Bangkok's gleaming modern hub, which lies a remarkably convenient twenty minutes southeast by car. The drive traces the outer edges of metropolitan Bangkok before slipping into the quieter industrial and residential districts of Samut Prakan province, where the urban intensity gradually softens into broader horizons. As you approach Bangplee, the landscape opens to reveal the club's signature Dutch-style windmills rising above manicured fairways - an unexpected European flourish in the Thai lowlands that signals your arrival at one of the region's most distinctive daily-fee layouts.
