This championship layout is yet another Jack Nicklaus classic. At first glance, the course looks like a gentle test. But be aware, as this is just an illusion. Accuracy is rewarded and loose shots punished. Hidden hazards, difficult bunkers and long water hazards that bite into the fairway protect the course.
The greens are some of the best in Thailand and maintained to a very high standard, and this is where the value of your Thai caddy is very important. As you conclude your round, the par 5 18th, their signature hole, requires one last perfect shot to the difficult island green, situated beneath the grand, imposing clubhouse. Use caution, this shot is longer than it looks, and at this point you may have a few baht riding on it. If you don't make it, the golf academy at Springfield Village is one of the best in the country.
