Introduction

The country club was completed at around 97 and a golf course was added & opened for business in 2001 but the owner kept the club very private and not until recently they allow non-members to stay & play and boy......am I pleased they made this decision! Want to know why.........will tell you in a minute.

The club can provide shuttle service from Zhuhai pier (coach will takes about 60 minutes, small car will be 50' ) if you want to go there on your own, make sure the taxi driver knows the correct route & agree the fare (negotiate, the fare should be around 140-150 RMB) before you hop on.

 
Club service & facilities

The club is fairly big with reasonable facilities and a good size locker room, snooker room, conference room, two swimming pools, tennis courts, gun club, hunting area & tennis, you or your kids can also play small boat & fish at the reservor just below the clubhouse. The service of the staff were OK, one thing worth mentioning is the club's restaurant uses all the local produce, from vegetables to poultries....all are very fresh, the lounge even have an unusual feature in southern China..........a genuine fireplace!

 
Course Design


Had a quick look of the view over the balcony of the club just before I tee off........wow!

 
Maintenance of greens & fairways

Perfect, both greens & fairways are lush and beautiful.

As to the view & surrounding......this has to be one of the best I have seen........and because of the club offers hunting facilities nearby.......they have lots of ducks & birds around the golf course.

 
Caddy's service & knowledge of the course

Depends on your luck, generally, the girls are not as good as the boys (most of them play golf at the course). If you prefer a more experenced caddie, don't hesitate to ask the caddie master.

My rating

The course is built on the hillside and around a big reservoir with lots of big elevation changes sometimes 10 stories high! One thing you won't find here is boredom as each fairway has a different layout, it could be a big dogleg or hitting tee shot up or downhill......very interesting as well as challenging course indeed.

Some of the fairways look very intimating from the back tee, be very careful with your club selection, don't be too greedy or you will be punished.

There is a real 19th hole for free !

I like the course's quiet surrounding very much.....and the club's accommodation didn't disappoint with very nice view & setting (the decoration is a lodge/country style with wooden panels).

To sum up, the club offers a nice & beautiful environment, the course design is exciting & challenging, if you have time, stay for another day - this is a must play course. Eagle 8/2009
