This famous course has gained a well reputation and just rated
No 7 Best Courses in Asia by Asian Golf Monthly.
From Bangkok Airport, we took approximately 2 hours 45 mins and
arrived one of her two sister resort - Springfield Beach Resort.
From there, we took another 15 mins ride to the Golf Club. Another
Resort - Springfield Village Resort is just located next to the
golf course. |

The course is built on a flat terrain. The
interesting comes from the well place bunkers, water hazards,
doglegs and a couple of semi island greens. Fairways considered
to be fairly generous. Like most Nicklaus courses, greens are
usually protected by huge bunkers. By
the way, some of them are enormous which means if you land on
the other side of the green, putting could be very nasty.

This 27 holes course made up by 3 nines holes
Mountain, Lake and Valley course. The setup are more likely to
be a resort course with reasonably forgiving fairways and recoverable
rough. The maintenance is excellent. Scenery is also great with
mature, dense big trees, you won't find lamp post nor villas
within your sight.
This
Tree caught my attention
and believed it has been worshipped by local people.
Unlike many other Thailand's courses, speed of play in here is
very impressive. Marshals are everywhere and prepare to "advise"
slow players to keep the pace.
My rating Ace
¡C05/09
Springfield
Beach Resort is where we stayed. Not luxury but good
atmosphere and comfortable. Get a cab from the reception and it costs
Baht 350 per way to or from downtown Huahin (around 20 mins). Or
you may take a "taxi" on your journey. Noted that there ain't meter
taxi, negotiate the price pop in to the cab, Usaully between Baht200-250
per way. Some "taxi" can even take up to 8 persons.
Huahin City isn't
that big and not even close to Pattaya or Phuket city. A peaceful
land ideally for relaxing.
If you are looking for a better hotel to stay, you won't be disappointed.
Big names like Sofitel, Marriott, Hyatt, Dusit are scattered around
the city. |
