Unlike the World Cup,
Vijay & Els courses, I found Nick Faldo's baby a bit more interesting
and fun to play. The course layout is very simple and straight
forward, "what you see is what you get"sort of design - no hidden
or nasty traps, if you mess up you you can only blame yourself.
Due to it's shorter
length (6,185 yards) from the blue tee, there
are at least 2 or 3 three good short par 4s (# 3,5&15) that you could
possibly reach in one ...or water, a good test of courage, length and
accuracy.
There are also a couple
of 'short' par 5s giving medium length players like me a realistic chance
of getting an eagle putt.
Compared to World
Cup and Vijay course, the fairways seem to be a little wider, with less
influence of water and more forgiving unless you are completely
offline. Bunkers are the main feature of the course and there are some
real beauties out there.

| The
only drawback on this course is that it's a 15 minute shuttle bus
trip from the main Shenzhen Clubhouse so give yourself plenty of time
to get there.
Overall, I feel
this course is very user friendly and suitable for people with different
playing levels.
