The best tee shot is to hit down the left side of the fairway in order to
secure a good angle to the green protected by 3 bunkers to the left, right
and behind. If you hit to the right side, the second shot becomes harder
because the shot needs to carry over a lake and the deep right greenside
bunker. The lake in front of the green makes this a difficult by visually
appealing hole.

A gentle dogleg to the right with trees and bushes on the left and a lake
on the right. The fairway bunkers in the middle of the fairway are well
positioned. You should avoid the deep bunkers guarding the left of the green
. The approach shot into the green is slightly uphill. |

A beautiful hole. There is a split fairway with bunkers. You can have a
better angle into the green from the right fairway on your second shot.
Hitting the second shot for the left fairway makes the distance shorter
but the shot requires you to hit over a big bunker on the front left of
the green. |

A medium length par 3 with an island green. Needless to say a precise shot
is required. I have played more than 10 Nicklaus designed courses this was
the first to have an island green.

|
| There is OB and ponds on the left.
You had bettr drive down the right side of the fairway in order to have
the best angle into the green for the second shot. It becomes difficult
if you hit the second from the left side of the fairway because your approach
shot needs to fly over the pond and a 2-meter (7 ft.) deep bunker. |

A pretty par 3 over a big bunker with a good view. |
| |
|
|
| The tee is the highest on the course
and the views of the rest of the course and of the neighboring town is superb.
A river crosses in front of the slightly elevated green. You need to dive
very hard to leave yourself with an easier approach shot to the green. |

A short par 5 with a green swung to the right. Long hitters can reach the
green in two shots, but the front of the green is well guarded by a huge
bunker, so one is faced with a tactical decision of whether to go for it
on the second shot or lay up to the left short of the green The undulating
green is double-tiered. |

It takes 2 hours and half from Hong Kong by club bus. All the staff including
caddies were well trained and made us comfortable. This is a big resort
with residential areas, a hotel, a swimming pool, tennis courts, a basketball
court, a Massage & Spa Center, and even a children atelier room, etc.
This was selected the best golf resort in China in 2001, 2002 and 2003 by
China Golf Magazine. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere.
