A little downhill. The green is elevated
and guarded by bunkers. |
| |
| |
| A
par 5 with an excellent layout. The first landing spot on the fairway is between
2 lakes. The second shot has 3 options: to go for the green in 2, to lay up in
front of the lake leaving a 150-yard approach shot, or to hit over the water to
the protruding, peninsula shaped fairway to the front left of the green. This
signature hole’s nickname is “Devil’s Hole”. |

A challenging par 4 with a lake
on the left of the fairway. The green is elevated and guarded by a big bunker
in front. |
| |
|
|
| A straight hole with a lake on the
left. The fairway is relatively narrow and the third shot must carry over the
water. |
| |
|
|
| A gentle uphill, slight dogleg
to the left. 11 bunkers are scattered all over the hole. |
|

An interesting but dangerous
par 5. The 5 big fairway bunkers right in the middle split the hole into 2 halves,
higher on the left and lower on the right. On the right, there is a chance of
reaching the green in 2 but the ball must fly over a wide lake and 2 big bunkers
of nearly 2 meters (6 ft.). |
| |
| |
|
A par 3 over bunkers. A wooden bridge
used to go to the green blends in well with the surrounding views. |
| |
| |
| A
slight dogleg to the right, a long par 5. A lake on the right of the fairway comes
into play on the second and third shots. A creek crosses the fairway 130 yards
in front of the green, so you need to make a decision to fly over the creek or
to lay up in front of it on the second shot. This finishing hole is beautiful. |

| It
takes 2 hours from Hong Kong by ferry and 40 minutes by club bus. It is 2 hours
drive from Guangzhou and 90 minutes drive from Zhuhai. There are cozy hotel rooms
in the clubhouse. Night golfing of 18 holes is available. When I played,
the greens were not in good shape but the ball rolled smoothly as the grass was
well cut.
