AGS Course Heritage — Nicklaus Masterpiece
Springfield Royal
Country Club
"A classic Jack Nicklaus design featuring strategic bunkering, mature woodlands, and an immaculate test of golf."
The Overview
Located a short drive inland from the royal beach resort town of Hua Hin, Springfield Royal Country Club is widely considered one of the finest and most challenging courses in the region. The original 18 holes (the Mountain and Lake nines) were designed by Jack Nicklaus, showcasing his signature style of rewarding accuracy and strategic shot placement.
True to a Nicklaus design, Springfield demands respect from the tee. The fairways are framed by mature, sweeping woodlands and a vast array of expansive bunkers. Water comes into play frequently, most notably on the iconic island green 18th hole, which requires a precise approach to finish the round.
A third nine (the Valley course), designed by Lee Schmidt, was added in 2005, expanding the facility to 27 holes. With its beautiful natural surroundings, exceptional maintenance, and rich pedigree, Springfield Royal is an essential stop on any Hua Hin golf itinerary.

The Curator's Brief
Springfield Royal Country Club is a premium championship woodland parkland golf course located in Thailand. Designed by Jack Nicklaus (A/B) / Lee Schmidt (C), this elite facility operates as a strict Par 72 (A/B) / 36 (C) layout, stretching to a formidable 7,063 Yards (A/B) from the championship tees.
Engineered for international touring groups, the course demands precise shot-making and strategic course management. Asia Golf Specialists (AGS) officially partners with Springfield Royal Country Club to guarantee priority tee time access, VIP caddie requests, and seamless private ground transportation from your luxury basecamp directly to the first tee box. As a highly regulated facility, walk-in tee times for large international groups are notoriously difficult to secure during the high season (February through May).
According to internal logistical data, AGS recommends incorporating this specific course into a wider multi-day itinerary to perfectly balance coastal links exposure with distinct woodland parkland challenges. By booking through the AGS Local Guardian network, players bypass public booking queues and experience an uncompromising, fully managed luxury golf experience.
