Springfield Royal Country Club- Nicklaus design is a long-time area favorite
The traditional Jack Nicklaus designed Springfield Royal Country Club located off the Hua Hin bypass road is a top Hua Hin golf course and an excellent cost-effective alternative to Banyan and Black Mountain.
Springfield has been designed to meet the high demands of a championship golf course, and yet it remains an enjoyable challenge for golfers of all standards. Each hole has five tees to play from, but only golf professionals should attempt the back Jack tees. Water hazards periodically come into play, and each hole presents its challenge and character requiring shop making finesse. Accuracy is needed as the rough comprises a series of hillocks and holes lined by a forest of mature trees.
Nicklaus's designs love to catch the player out who hits a poor weak fade, and the back nine, when tiredness begins to creep in, can punish with either a massive waste bunker or water down the right-hand side of the fairways. On the other hand, keep it straight, and this course will reward you as it is not exceptionally long.
The first hole is a gentle 389-yard par-4. The first appearance looks quite simple. Hopes can quickly fade, as the well-protected green can prove difficult & requires accuracy. The finishing par-5 18th and Springfield's signature hole needs one last perfect shot to an island green. The green is reachable in two by longer hitters and those with an ego. Hit a good drive over the trees of the dogleg left, and then the green will be in sight for the second shot. Have to have a go, but use caution; this shot is longer than it looks!
Springfield opened an additional nine holes (Course C) for play in 2005, designed by the award-winning golf course architect Lee Schmidt. These nine contrast the Nicklaus 18 (Course A & B) and are even more challenging than the original 18.
Springfield Royal offers other facilities apart from the course. The clubhouse in its day was top class. Now it's due for a makeover, but what’s there is still of good quality. Located in an elevated position, the views from the top floor leave a lasting impression. The interior is mostly finished in polished marble & granite and portrays a feeling of opulence associated with grand palaces. Changing rooms are adequate, albeit aging. Experienced well-trained caddies add to the enjoyment of playing at Springfield.
