You can imagine from the layout that this Nicklaus designed course was well worth playing when it was in its prime. But having played this course recently it is sad to see such a good design in such bad condition. The bunkers are not bunkers in the real sense. Little or no fresh sand in them. Fairways are just about ok, but greens are really poor. I can’t decide whether the greens have been cut bare, but there is a covering of fine sand which makes putting difficult. The place looks tired and in need of complete overhaul.

Very disappointed with the overall layout of this Jack Nicklaus designed course.
The condition of the course very poor and needs serious improvement.Some of the bunkers were like playing out of bog .
Pro shop very poorly stocked.
If considering playing here have a look at some of the alternatives in the area.

Probably an easier deck compared to Black Mountain and Banyan, this Nicklaus-designed layout is a touch dated but still maintains an old school charm. Condition of the course is good but not brilliant, but the greens are very nice and wickedly fast. A good course to play last before returning to Bangkok because it's further north than the others in Hua Hin

Myself and 3 of my friends went to play golf here on the 26th September 2018.
Now, I believe that everyone has the right to pay their money and play golf, however there was a party of 24 ladies in front of us and after 1 1/2 hours we had just finished hole #3. By hole 7 the Course Marshall took pity on us and advised us to skip a few holes and move to hole #13 where there was a gap. We did this and then went back to play our remaining 5 holes 8 to 12.
We were back in the clubhouse before the first group of ladies. Full marks to the Course Marshall and 0 marks to the club management for putting such a group out on the same course. They could have been split up over the 3 available courses.
Added to this was the condition of the course, the best I can say about the fairways is that they were "patchy" and the greens were terrible being very slow and grainy. Not an enjoyable round of golf.

Once in the clubhouse we ordered a couple of beers(local) and a bite to eat. When presented the bill we were amazed to learn that the beer was, at least, twice the price of other clubs we had visited on our tour at 2 1/2 times as much as the bars and restaurants in town.

Springfield was a regular stop on our Annual Hua Hin tour but will now be removed from our list.
There far better prepared and less expensive course/ clubs to choose from.

Dear Ascott5956, Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Your feedback is very valuable to us and will help us continually improve our services. Springfield is a resort golf course that welcomes all individuals and groups indiscriminately. You are absolutely right when saying that everyone has the right to pay money and play golf. That group of ladies in front of you sure have that right too. The problem is more of the pace of play, how to reinforce proper and acceptable pace for everyone as well as how to manage once a slow pace occurs. Pace of play is taken seriously here at Springfield and each group is monitored by automated tracking system (via RFID cards) which give the real time feedback to our course marshals. For our public resort course, we allow 4 hrs. 30 mins. for 18 holes. The system showed that the group ahead was slow at the beginning. Luckily our marshal noticed that and managed to move you around so that you could finish your round in a reasonable time of less than 4 hrs. 17 mins. (from 11:11 until 15:28 at the clubhouse). Springfield is a 27 holes facility, however, during our low season not all courses are in use. We close one side at a time for maintenance to get all three courses in top shape again for the busy winter months. All the biological agents need some time off as they couldn’t stay perfect all the time. Golf course grasses are in that manner too. Weather conditions have been very extreme these past few weeks. From heavy rainfall with consecutive cloudy days to extremely hot days as on the 26/9. The rain precipitation hit the record high of 150mm within two weeks during mid September right before you visited us. Obviously, our reservoirs have never been filled up like this for decades. Tirelessly, our maintenance team continually fight thatch build up, invasive grasses, and drainage issues. We apologize that our conditions were not up to your standard. Although a few greens might not look aesthetically pleasing to you, our super-intendant’s STIMPMETER green speed readings were 9+ during the past week which were acceptable to almost everyone but may be terribly slow for you. We are also sorry that you found our beverage prices expensive. This may be partly due to the new alcohol tax imposed by the Thai government at the end of 2017. Please do not compare us with the bars or restaurants in town as we are totally different logistically. We are certain that our prices are at par with all other major golf resorts in the area. We will investigate this further to see where to adjust and improve. We hope that you will re-consider visiting us again during next year’s Golf Festival (Aug-Sep) as the promotional green fee will remain relatively the same at THB1,000 (USD$30) per round per person. Please check in at Director of Golf at the pro-shop and I will be more than happy to welcome you back with your constructive comments as well as sharing more perspective in running the golf operation with you.

Very nice course to play and choice of 3 9-hole courses. Not top-end priced. We played Valley and Mountain course and they were in excellent condition. Good caddies as in every course we played. Could play again, we liked this golf course.

Had a wonderful time
The course is very scenic and very good
The wind is a major factor and the greens are true but super fast
Was a little skeptical before going as some didn’t recommend it, but we were very happy with it and really beautiful course

Worth playing here

Absolute gem of a course part of which runs along the back of beach. In great condition and we'll worth a visit. Lovely clubhouse and facilities. Caddies great and know the greens well. Highly recommend and much cheaper than other courses in the area but no less quality

I played this golf course in Hua Hin, Thailand in No 2010 with some friends. It was a beautiful day and we walked the course, even though carts were available. The caddies were helpful, but did not play much so lacked some experience.

The course was in beautiful condition, and the holes were challenging off the competition tees. The final hole was a dogleg left par 5 with an island green, which was reachable in two with a driver/3 iron, which was a fantastic feeling when the ball stayed on the green for the eagle putt.

The clubhouse was very nice with a well-stocked pro-shop, excellent locker rooms and good restaurant.

The only problem was one of the marshals picked my provisional ball when we were checking the status of the original ball. then drove off with it without checking if it belonged to anyone. When challenged later, he produced the ball and laughed about it., but it was very upsetting at the time.

Played here 5 times between Christmas and New Year, all three courses, A, B and C
We were really lucky with our caddies, very friendly and very knowledgeable, so we had a great time every day. I liked all 3 of the courses, you can walk or go by car. Greens are top and very fast, driving range ok but nothing special, putting area ok as well.
We will definitely return when coming back to this area
