Club facilities & Service
The course is near Guangzhou, it will take about 1 hours 15-20 mintues by car from Huaggang. The club house is nicely furnished and the facilities are reasonably good too, the service of the staff was attentive. I also liked the shower room a lot as it has sauna, massage within.
 
Maintenance of fairways & greens

The fairways were in decent shape but most turf of the greens were kept a little tall, as a result, it was really slow & difficult to keep putts on line.

The view of the course is nice with some beautiful trees & landscaping.

 
Caddy's service & knowledge of the course

Pretty good. Very courteous, accurate with yardage and most important of all - very keen to find balls you hit O.B. or into the rough : )

However, lines given on the green were average (or was it my putting?)

 
Course Design

The course is built around on a couple of small hills, fairways are tight with quite a bit of slope, some of the greens are has big slopes, notably the # 7, # 9 & # 18 , 3 putts can be considered good if you land on the wrong side . In addition to the 6,470 yards from the blue tee making the course on the difficult side. You really have to position each your shots carefully, otherwise,you'll be looking at a double bogey or worse.

I think another important factor is course knowledge, if you are a first timer here - play safe, but if you are familiar with the course - you can play a little more aggressively.

My overall feeling of the club & course is so-so, but thanks to the good service of caddies & facilities of the club contributing in a one putt Birdie.
