Springfield Royal (A & B) - Central Thailand - Thailand

It's a shame that Springfield Royal does not get the same attention as Black Mountain or Banyan, when in fact it should. The reason for that I suspect is the course maintenance standards, which is a key factor for the typical holidaying golfer. But for those discerning enough will be wowed by the quality of the layout, with some memorable holes. It is one of the must play golf courses in Hua Hin especially for discerning golfers, who are value layout over course condition.

I played Springfield last year but did not make the effort of playing it again this year. I am not a fan of Nicklaus courses and have no outstanding memory of this course except for the last hole over water and a pleasant clubhouse. It could be that I should play it again and then make a judgement. DAVID LAIRD

I have played this course a number of times over the past 15 years (most recently in April 2013) and it is genuinely superb. Of the layouts in the Hua Hin/Cha-am region (including Black Mountain and Banyan), I think it offers the most enjoyable golfing experience - the course is difficult (but fair), offers a good challenge to low handicap golfers but also various tee options that make it playable for everyone and is consistently in superb condition.
