Summit Green Valley Chiangmai Country Club is an excellent, championship caliber 18 – hole golf course that is beautiful landscaped and well maintained. It features an abundance of well placed sand bunkers and lots of water that can come into play on nearly every hole on the course. The fairways are ample and mostly level. The greens are large, receptive to approach shots, and putting speed is moderate to slightly fast. However, course length, numerous elevation changes, and prevailing wind makes Summit Green Valley Chiangmai Country Club a tough but fair challenge to golfers of all skill levels. The course drains exceptionally well during the wet season and benefits from the nearly constant “Good Air” breeze of the Maerim area.

Hole 1 – Par 5 : Blue Tees – 610 White Tees – 537 Red Tees – 474 Hdcp.# 2 This scenic opening Par 5 hole features a split – level fairway that is in play for both the drive and second shot. The lower left side is bit wider and more receptive but there is a lake, from tee to green, just to the left of the cart path and a drive into the sloping bank dividing the fairway will usually necessitate a recovery “Chip Out”. A drive to the higher right side sets up a better second shot but calls for more accuracy due to two sand bunkers that guard the right edge of the elevated fairway. A very long drive down the middle can clear the fairway – dividing bank and set up a chance to reach the green in two But there are two bunkers guarding the left side and a steep slope with thick rough on the right. For most second shots there is less danger going to the higher fairway on the right and offers an easier approach shot to the green. The green slopes slightly from back left to right front. Par is good score! |
