Summit Windmill although not overly long at 6964 yards more than makes up for the distance as it is one of the more contrived Bangkok golf courses. Despite its fake attributes, it attracts hoards due to a convenient location; just 30 minutes from Bangkok. Although in the city suburbs, the surroundings are also pleasant and park-like. Plenty of wildlife including birds and reptiles share the course with golfers.
Water comes into play on many of the holes starting with an enormous lake hazard that flanks the left side of the long par-5 1st hole. The same concept repeats on the 18th, and both these holes also happen to be the golf course signature holes that well exemplify the course extreme. The 1st hole is a long 624 yards, even by today standards, and the 18th is an exciting finishing hole that can provide some dramatic endings to any round.
Nick Faldo often innovative design also is further characterized by contoured fairways and water-protected par-3, the best of which is the island green 12th. The par-4 9th is also an excellent risk-reward hole in that long hitters can shave off much of the 438 yards by cutting their tee shots across the water, which leaves a mid-iron into the green. However, anything too short or to the right will entail hitting over bunkers to the green with a long iron or hybrid, a shot that often winds up in the sand.
