Summit Windmill Golf Club

Overview: Near Suvarnabhumi Airport, Summit Windmill presents an 18-hole parkland course in Bang Phli, close to the Bangna-Trad corridor and Suvarnabhumi Airport. Nick Faldo designed the layout, which opened in 1993 and is listed at 6,964 yards from the back tees. Gently rolling fairways, tall palms, lakes and large sand features create a course that looks open from a distance but asks for deliberate positioning. Its location and reliable visitor operation have made it one of the practical Bangkok-area rounds for golfers using the airport and eastern metropolitan districts.

History: Summit Windmill belongs to the mature generation of Bangkok golf developments that established Thailand as a serious golf-travel market in the 1990s. The current tourism record connects the course with the Lexus International and Thailand Masters, while the course listings retain the Nick Faldo design and 1993 opening. Those tournament links give context to a layout that is now known as both a daily-fee destination and a course with a meaningful competitive history.

Did You Know? The course’s name can sound like a branding flourish, but the visual identity is genuinely tied to wind, water and open ground near the airport. The 16th is often highlighted for a long sweep of white sand beside a lake, a hole that illustrates how Summit Windmill turns a relatively flat site into a sequence of clear strategic decisions.
