Springfield Royal Country Club

Springfield Royal Country Club, a superb Jack Nicklaus-designed championship course, is located just off the Hua Hin bypass road and stands as one of the region’s most respected golfing destinations. Often considered an excellent value alternative to nearby championship venues such as Pineapple Valley and Black Mountain, Springfield delivers a high-quality golfing experience without the premium price.

Designed to championship standards, the course offers an enjoyable yet demanding test for golfers of all abilities. Each hole features five sets of tees, including the challenging Jack tees used by professionals, allowing players to select a distance that suits their game. Mature tree-lined fairways, carefully positioned bunkers, and strategic water hazards place a strong emphasis on accuracy, course management, and thoughtful shot selection.

Nicklaus’s design brilliance becomes particularly evident on the back nine, where wayward shots can be heavily punished. A fade drifting too far offline may find waste bunkers or water hazards, especially on holes where danger lurks along the right side of the fairway. However, golfers who keep the ball in play will find the course fair and rewarding, as it is not overly long by modern championship standards.
