| Introduction | |||||||||||||||||||
|
The club is right next to the well equipped Westin Hotel and has held many International golf events such as the yearly Macau Open. Ferry service from Hong Kong to Macau is extremely good with frequent service, every 15" intervals at most hours. You can either take the club's shuttle bus or a taxi to club by the ferry pier. |

| Course Design | |||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||
| Being
a Links style course, the view is very nice
all round, its layout and play is similar to Clearwater GC and Kai Sai
Chau in Hong Kong... built along the shoreline and is very much open to
weather condition. Fairways are tight and some with big undulations.
To have a good score here requires good club selection and course management. |

| Caddy Service & Knowledge | |||||||||||||||||||
|
They have about 30 or so mainland Chinese & Filipino caddies, prebook early to make sure you have one, if you are English speaking, the Filipino caddies will be better as they speak better English & tend to have better course knowledge as they have been in the club for longer. |

I like the club's facilities, service, the view and enjoy the design of the course, despite the shorter length of the course (Championship tee is 6,624, gold tee is 6,263 and blue is only at 5,989 yards), it is fun to play to due to its interesting design & layout, to have a decent round, the difficulty is its elevation changes, blind shots to the green & wind will also plays a big part of your score. One thing worth mentioning is the club is fairly strict on the pace of play, so be prepared to play at the decent speed or you will get a friendly warning by the marshal. All in all, this is a must play if you visit Macau. Eagle.5/09
