A view from 5th green
The course is on almost flat terrain with natural plantations and lakes. Water, big or small, comes into play on 17 out of 18 holes. It is very relaxing golf course in a very natural setting and you never see any man-made structures at all except for the clubhouse.
　
5th　 Par 4　355 yards
A short dogleg to the left, full of dangers. Both sides of the fairway face a lake, so the tee shot should be accurate. You hit the second shot onto an island green.

6th　 Par 4　410 yards (1)
A gently uphill, straight and difficult hole. A carry of 190 yards is needed to clear a lake. The landing area is very tight with OB on the right and trees on the left. The longer the tee shot is, the narrower the landing spot is. The second shot is uphill with OB on the left of the green.

A good par 3 with water facing the left half of the green.

　
10th　Par 5　530 yards
A gentle downhill par 5 reachable in 2. However, the small and elevated green is guarded by a lake and trees. If you hit a long and accurate second shot, a birdie will be easy to get. If not, it will end up easily with a bogey or double bogeys. If you decide to lay up on the second shot, a par will be easy.

A short but difficult hole. The landing area off the tee is tight with water on the left and OB & a large bunker on the right. The green is elevated and protected by a deep bunker in the front.

A sharp dogleg to the right with water on the left. There are 2 choices off the tee. If you make a short cut, a carry of 230-250 yards over water is needed but the drive must be very accurate due to a narrow landing area. To play safe, you use a long iron or a fairway wood to hit onto the left fairway but then the second shot is longer.

　
19th hole

It takes within one hour from Guangzhou by car. I could freely choose the tees to play.
