About Springfield Royal Country Club
A typically tough Jack Nicklaus designed course, Springfield Royal Country Club is one of the best golfing experiences in Hua Hin. Located just off the Hua Hin bypass, a little longer drive out of town than a few of the other courses, the club can be easily reached within 30 minutes from the centre of Hua Hin.
As you would normally get out of a course developed by the famous Jack Nicklaus there are a lot of traps in the shape of bunkers and water hazards strategically positioned to capture that slice or fade off the tee. Springfield Royal Country Club is one of the very best Hua Hin golf courses, and as good as they come.
Springfield included another 9 holes in 2005 developed by the distinguished group of golf course designers Lee Schmidt and Brain Curley. These nine are rather various to the original layout developed by Nicklaus 18 and are most likely more challenging than the original course.
The course at Springfield has certainly been designed to fulfill the high needs of an acknowledged championship golf course, and yet it remains a satisfying obstacle for golfers of all levels. Each hole has a minimum of 5 tees to play from, but only the brave, and most skilled of players should venture from the black tee. Water features regularly enter play, and each hole presents its obstacle and character needing either skill or reckless abandon. Accuracy is needed at all times as the rough consists of a series of hillocks and holes lined by a forest of mature trees.
After a reasonably easy starting tee shot you are faced with a lengthy approach and you then understand that you have to keep your wits about you if you are to score well. The final hole, the par-5 18th and Springfield’s signature hole needs a precise drive between the trees to then hit your spot on the tight fairway if you are to have an opportunity of getting to the island green on par.

Course Maintenance
Springfield Royal Country Club is a truly mature golf course, some of the holes are wide open and nearly links-style and others wind their course in between the mature trees and local foliage. The owners have really taken care to carry out a design approach that would not only maintain the natural wildlife but also to boost it. As a result you will find more than 100 varieties of birds as you make your way around the course.
Springfield Royal Country Club is worth the extra travel time outside Hua Hin and is a must play for any visiting golfer.
