About This Course

Springfield Golf Club, designed by renowned Robert Trent Jones Jr., offers a challenging yet enjoyable 18-hole, par-72 layout in Gifu Prefecture. The course features gently rolling terrain with strategic water hazards, including eight ponds and creeks, alongside two-tiered fairways and undulating greens. Players must carefully decide when to play aggressively or conservatively, as precise shot-making is essential to score well. The bentgrass greens are known for their subtle breaks, increasing the difficulty and often leading to three-putts. Soft spikes are required, and the course provides a rewarding experience for golfers seeking a test of strategy and skill in the Chubu region.

Playing Tips

Strategic ponds and creeks protect many greens, so prioritize accurate tee shots and position play to avoid penalty waters.

Two‑tiered fairways reward precise placement—aim for the correct tier to leave the best angle and avoid difficult recovery shots.

Undulating bentgrass greens have subtle breaks and can be quick, so read putts carefully and avoid forcing long birdie putts that can lead to three‑putts.

The hilly terrain produces frequent elevation changes, so adjust club selection for uphill and downhill shots rather than relying solely on yardage.

Tajimi summers can be very hot and humid, so carry plenty of water, use sun protection, and note that only soft spikes are allowed.
