Springfield Royal Country Club (part of the Springfield Village Golf & Spa) boasts 27 excellent holes of championship golf. Here you'll find one of Jack Nicklaus's earliest designs in Asia, comprising three nine-hole loops ... the Mountain-nine (A), Lake-nine (B) and Valley-nine (C).
Of the three excellent nine-hole loops, the Lake course arguably has the strongest holes. The fabulous par-5 3rd, testing par-4 4th and water-flanked par-3 5th holes are all played around a good-sized lake, where views onto the ever-present jungle-clad Phetchaburi hills seem to be at their most captivating.
Among many other wonderful golf holes, the par-3 8th (Lake) is beautifully framed by stylish earthmounding and indigenous trees behind the green. The backdrop for the risk-reward par-5 9th (Lake), includes the pointed tops of the resort buildings, which you can admire while lining up your approach to the island green.
The Mountain course, laid out as a figure of eight, has the least amount of water in play, but it too is a thoroughly absorbing and challenging layout. Its hallmarks are plenty of stylish bunkering, large sandy waste areas, gently rolling mounds and trees lining several fairways.
Exuding a tighter feel than the original two nines, the Valley-nine also includes threatening water hazards, especially in its middle section. As on the Mountain-Lake layout, an intimidating array of bunkers are also present, along the fairways and fiercely defending the greens.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
