The easiest way to get there from Hong Kong is by using the club's shuttle. Morning departures leave from Queen's Pier in Central, Kowloon MTR Station, Fanling KCR Station and the San Tin Yellow Bus Station. Another shuttle departs from Huanggang twice a day. From Central the journey will take 2 hours and cost HK$60 each way. From Huanggang the journey will take 1 hour and cost HK$50 each way. Latest: The club now uses 7-seater cars which means that you can drive through the Lok Ma Chau crossing without having to get out. You still need to get out at Huanggang. This is hugely convenient; after all who enjoys lugging their clubs through immigration?

The resort has all the facilities you could possibly want. Excellent accommodation, two swimming pools (inc. indoor), ladies only spa, tennis, even an astronomy tower. The main restaurant serves perfectly adequate food and there is also a small bar. There are two golf clubhouses - one for members and one for visitors. On past experience the service of the staff has been excellent. The club's driving range is one of the best in China. Unlike most in the region it is an all turf affair and there is also a short game area and a decent practice green. There has always been a question mark over the quality of the visitor locker rooms however. They are basic and not in-keeping with the rest of the resort.

The Outdoor Pool

The Lychee 9 is a bit wider than the other two and although it's not a walk in the park, it is generally considered an easier test. The 9th hole, however, is one of the more difficut at the resort. From the blues the holes measures almost 400 yards and water comes into play on both the drive and the approach. An excellent way to finish.

A feature of all three courses is the use of large sandy waste areas just off the fairways. These are not strictly bunkers (so you can ground your club) but can prove tricky if you're unlucky enough to find yourself in one.

All three courses are also devoid of any major change in undulation making walking around the layout a perfectly viable option in the winter months. However, visitors are not permitted to walk at anytime and guests are allowed to walk during the week only.

A quick note about the designer. This is not a Jack Nicklaus course - it was designed by his son, Jack Jr. However, this doesn't make it any easier - overall, it's an excellent test.

The all-turf practice ground.
