| Introduction |
|
Lakes course is one of the two courses of the Blue Canyon Country Club, the Canyon is possibly one of the Asia's finest & known as the venue of some big championships, at 2006, the Lakes also went through a renovation and upgrade and is a championship golf course too. |

| Club facilities & service |
| The big and nice clubhouse sits on top of a small hill & overlooks the 18th of the Canyon course, the proshop is big and with lots of stock & variety, both the service of the locker and cafe is not bad. |
| |
| Maintenance of fairways & greens |
|  Both Fairways & greens were excellent at the front 9, the back 9 was under maintenance & a bit brown....still pretty good though.

Don't like water? Water is on 17 out of 18 here..... the 17th par 3 is the only hole without water hazard.
I think there are more blind holes, fairways are tighter twist & turn at the front 9, check with the caddie for directions & distance carefully or you will struggle to navigate, the back 9 plays slightly easier as they are wider and less winding. Out of the 18 holes, I like the #4 & #18th.

I thought I could relax & have fun playing 2 rounds of leisure golf but my mood & confidence was adversely affected by playing the first round at the extremely tough Red Mountain (or was it because the beers I had the night before?), thankfully the Lakes is not as hard but still no push over, pay more attention & be conservative on the front 9, the back plays a touch easier but this is still a challenging course. Out of the 2 courses, I prefer the Canyon, it is more interesting to play & pettier. Eagle 。2/2010
