Round 1 of the Hua Hin Invitational begins at Springfield Royal, a Jack Nicklaus-designed course that stands as one of Hua Hin’s most respected layouts. Known for its sweeping fairways, strategically placed hazards, and undulating greens, it’s a course that rewards thoughtful shot-making—especially on approach. With its blend of challenge and playability, Springfield Royal sets the perfect stage to open the week.

Players will compete within their respective divisions, with pairings shuffled daily to keep the tournament friendly and social. B and C Grade players will play the 54-hole event in a single stableford format, while A Grade players will contest both stroke and stableford. Daily prizes will be awarded across all divisions, along with nearest the pin contests to keep things lively.

Non Golfers today will try their hands at Thai cooking. Anya and her Cooking Class has been very popular here in Hua Hin for many years. She has spent quite a lot of her life in Australia, and speaks excellent English. Not only does she have a passion for cooking, you will learn a lot from her garden where she grows her own herbs and spices.

After your round of golf, you’ll be transferred back to your host hotel with time to freshen up before tonight’s presentations of today’s winners.
