Crafted under the guidance of architect Dennis Griffiths, who also lent his expertise to the design of the renowned Thai Country Club in Bangkok, the layout of Summit Green Valley stands as one of Chiang Mai's meticulously preserved treasures. Nestled in the lowlands, a mere 20-minute drive from the heart of Chiang Mai, this course masterfully combines captivating vistas, invigorating air quality, and an array of indigenous landscaping indigenous to Northern Thailand. The fairways, lined with a multitude of palm trees, offer sweeping views of the encircling mountains. Summit Green Valley represents the second golfing venture by the Summit Group, following the inauguration of Summit Windmill Bangkok.
Par excellence presents itself as a challenge at Summit Green Valley, particularly when approaching from the formidable back tees at a formidable distance of 7200 yards. The course is generously adorned with strategically positioned sand bunkers and an extensive water presence that poses a potential threat on nearly every hole. While the fairways may seem expansive, the judicious placement of water hazards and bunkers within the landing zones demands caution, thus lending an illusion of narrow fairways and minimal room for errant shots. The greens, generous in size and accommodating to approach shots, boast a moderate to slightly fast putting pace. Yet, the interplay of course length, varying elevations, and prevailing winds amalgamate to craft a challenge that is demanding yet equitable for golfers spanning all proficiency levels.
A singular standout is the memorable 9th hole, a 416-yard, par-4 gem. The tee shot mandates a skillful carry over water, while sand traps symmetrically flanking the landing area beckon precision. Subsequently, the second shot requires conquering water once more to reach an elevated island green ensconced by majestic palm trees.
The clubhouse stands as a hub of comprehensive amenities and services. Accompanied by a courteous and professional staff, it offers a well-stocked Pro Shop, culinary delights, refreshment corners, changing room facilities, and soothing massage services.
For golfers seeking an exceptional experience in Chiang Mai, Summit Green Valley emerges as a prime choice. Its strategic proximity to the airport and city center makes it a perfect fit for those desiring to indulge in a round of golf on the same day as their arrival or departure from Chiang Mai.
