Introduction

Located on the edge of Huizhou City (1hr 30mins from Huanggang border), Lakefront is the latest addition to the Huizhou area's list of courses.

The impressive looking hotel/clubhouse is the first thing you notice from the road. Decent rooms 1 2 are available for booking. Like every new club in China, the course is part of a larger housing development project and a number of lake side villas are also under construction.

 
Facilities / Service

The clubhouse is well decorated and furnished. Both changing room and lockers are considered to be huge in size. Remember to check out the jaccuzi, it's nice. Massage services can be found at 2nd floor. The restaurant is opened, Warning: the menu is in Chinese only so it's definitely worth learning how to ask for your favourite food beforehand because, from my experience at least, the staff's knowledge of English is even worse than my Mandarin. Driving range is in operation. .

 
The Course


It's not a natural beauty (a few holes run alongside a busy road) but it's very, very good. From the blue tees it only measures 6,200 yards or so but the main difficulty lies in finding the relatively narrow landing areas. Taking 3 woods and long irons is a good tactic to use - after all, all the par 4s measure under 400 yards. Water comes into play quite a bit (especially on the par 3s) and the large greens feature quite a bit of slope. The back nine holes are floodlit for night golf.

 
Current Condition

The fairways are in good shape.
The greens are now back to normal since last November when they were inflected by some kind of virus. (July 2009)

 
Caddies

Also very good. Mine understood a bit of English but it was her green reading skills and concerns over maintenance that impressed me. Unlike at some other clubs, Lakefront's caddies make sure they fix any pitch marks they see which is partly why the conditions were so good.

Rating

It is among the best conditions in the province. I for one will definitely return. Lakefront is close to Palm Island so it might be a good idea to play both whilst in the area.
The services and attitude of the staffs are good especially those receptionists and staffs from restaurant
