スプリングフィールド ロイヤル カントリー クラブ (AB コース)
A hilly course. Of the 27 holes in total, A, B, and C, the best combination is the 18 holes of A and B, which were built first. The outward course is orthodox and gentle, but the inward course changes rapidly and is full of strategic holes involving water. The greens are generally protected by bunkers and water hazards, so you need to hit accurate, high balls to get a high score. Another feature is the large number of long bunkers (waste bunkers) that run along the fairway.

Course Introduction
This is a double dogleg hole that doglegs to the left and then slightly to the right. The tee shot is a slightly uphill blind shot, and the landing area is narrow, sandwiched between bunkers on the left and right. The island green is surrounded by water, so long hitters must decide whether to go for a two-on or play it safe.
Trivia
