Springfield Golf Club
Bay of Plenty Te Moana-a-Toi
Springfield Golf Club is located right in the heart of Rotorua, making it one of the most accessible and well-known courses in the area. It is famously the home club of professional golfer Danny Lee, which adds a touch of prestige to the venue. The course itself is a true test of golf, featuring narrow fairways, well-shaped holes, and a layout that demands both accuracy and strategy. Its central location means it’s easy to reach from the town and surrounding suburbs, yet the mature trees, gentle undulations, and parkland setting create a peaceful, almost secluded atmosphere once you’re on the course. Each hole is thoughtfully designed, offering variety and subtle challenges, while the scenic surroundings and careful course maintenance make it a pleasure to walk or ride. Springfield blends accessibility, challenge, and classic New Zealand parkland charm, making it a standout stop for golfers of all levels visiting Rotorua.

Condition
Springfield is maintained to a high standard year-round. The volcanic soils drain well, keeping fairways playable even after wet periods, while the greens roll true and provide consistent pace. Some tree-lined areas can be softer in winter, but this adds variety rather than detracting from play. Bunkers and surrounds are well-kept, and the overall presentation is tidy, giving a reliable surface for every round.
Challenge
The course offers a solid test for golfers of all levels. Narrow fairways demand accuracy off the tee, and well-shaped holes require thoughtful club selection and shot placement. Doglegs, subtle elevation changes, and tree-lined corridors keep players thinking, while the mix of easier and tougher holes ensures that both beginners and experienced golfers have an enjoyable and engaging round.
Facilities
Springfield has a welcoming clubhouse that provides drinks, light refreshments, and a place to relax after your round. Practice facilities include a putting green and warm-up nets, while tee times and green fees are easy to arrange through the club. It’s a friendly, well-run environment that caters for both visitors and locals.
Value for Money
At around $40 a round, Springfield offers good value. You’re getting a well-maintained, challenging, and scenic course right in Rotorua, with history and notable players adding to the experience. It’s a course that rewards accuracy and strategy, making it worth the green fee for both casual players and serious golfers alike.
