I was aware that Shenzhen was building 3 public course sometime ago but little did I know that our authority on mother land is so efficient that 1 is already finished & started business (would like to thank our reader DC who gave us the contact of the course!)

So off I went the following week to check it out & give our readers a look at our very first Public Golf course in China!

Although the course is quite new ( I had not much idea where it was), it was not too difficult to locate as it is just on the left side of a highway, about 40 minutes from Huangang and costed around 130 to get there, (will be a little lower and quicker from Lowu). If your Taxi driver don't know the correct route you can try and ask the local where the cycling stadium is and they should know.

Small but reasonable clean with basic amenities, service was O.K.

The front 9 are was easier with not much elevation changes but the back are tougher to play & to walk (better get a get on warmer days (they are KSC north tough)

The most greens are turtle back shape & bunkers are generally shallow.

Due to a heavy traffic of the course, it was sad to see some of thet greens were not in good shape & divots on fairways were not repaired properly.

A new course with new caddies - what can you expect?

I like the design, it is simple but interesting to play, some of the holes on the back 9 are existing to play too, as some of the holes (short par 5s) will require a blind tee shot, course knowledge would help to to cut corners.....to reach in 2.

The course is very busy due to the cheap fees & close proximity to Huanggang......this will & perhaps already another KSC......you can book but can't get through the telephone on weekends. Birdie 8/2003
