The Jack Nicklaus designed
‘East Course’ is the first 18 holes of a planned
36 holes complex. Now well established and with a magnificent
clubhouse providing excellent amenities, Springfield is generally
considered as one of the premier golfing resorts in Thailand.
The course has been
designed to meet the high demands of recognised championship
golf, and yet it remains an enjoyable challenge for golfers
of all standards. Each hole has a minimum of five tees to
play from, but only the brave, and those who regularly rub
shoulders with the world’s best will venture from the
back tees. The other options provide varying degrees of difficulty
so that all golfers can appreciate the subtleties the course
has to offer.
Water hazards regularly
come into play and each hole presents its own individual challenge
and character requiring either finesse or unrestrained power.
Finesse is certainly recommended for the short par 3, 6th
hole. To avoid a large waste bunker, water hazard and four
sand traps guarding a small green, precision is essential.
Springfield is great fun to play and the alluring effects
from playing so many good holes on one course become captivation.
The complex is an absolute
Mecca for enthusiasts where professional expertise provides
the nucleus for a well organized golfing resort Consequently
a day out at Springfield Royal and Country Club will be one
to remember and most certainly an inducement to replay this
masterpiece of golf course design on future occasions.
