A view of 7th green

A view from the clubhouse

It is a relatively flat course with little bunkers and water influence.The fairwaysare generous and the greens are flat.

This hole has a pond that is not in play but adds to the hole’s beauty. A bunker on the left side of the green is strategically well placed.

8th　Par 4　420 yards

A slight dogleg to the left. The landing area from the tee shot is very small. The front of the wide green is fully guarded by a bunker.

Bunkers on both sides of the fairway, located about 250 yards from the tee, are well in play.

14th　Par 4　445 yards

A long par 4 with OB left & right. The green is raised a little and to avoid a bunker at the front left of the green, you can’t be short on the second shot.

16th Par 3 220 yards

A downhil & long par 3. The green is wide, and its front side is protected by a large bunker.

19th hole

One drawback is that it takes as much as 2 & half hours from Hong Kong by bus. The course is not crowded at all because of fewer visitors from Hong Kong. You can hit hard drivers because most of the fairways are wide-open and hazards are not that much in play at tee shots.

The owner (as of 2003) is a Japan listed company. I was glad that a Japanese style bath and a sauna are provided.
