For the Golf Enthusiasts

Spot the flag. Where did that ball go????

Jack Nicklaus – Sea View course.

Designed by the masterful “Golden Bear”, the course offers majestic sculptured bunkers, a strategic use of the natural landscape and some unique water hazards. The Par 72 course measures 6443 metres.

12th Hole- a par 3 , with a stunning backdrop of the South China Sea. Due to the high winds at certain times , club selection can be increased by at least four clubs, especially from the championship tees

13th Hole- Par 4 has a unique feature of a split green, as one of the streams on the course runs through the middle. This makes it a difficult and tricky hole

18th Hole- A tough hole characterized by large bunkers and rolling mounds.



Ian Baker –Finch – Woodlands Course

The overall concept of this course was to work closely with the natural site.

Many of the greens are surrounded by steep slopes and mounds to create an amphitheatre effect. It will entice challenge and reward the seasoned player while the less experienced will find it ‘flexible’ enough to suit their ability

The Par 72 course measures 6211 metres

8th Hole- The elevated tee at the 526 metre par 5 is a favourite with many. Stretching downhill into the distance before rising to the green, it demands absolute precision from golfers who must negotiate their shots past bunkers, a lake and a solitary tree.

13th Hole-On the elevated tee, take in the enticing vista of the seaside villas and ocean. This hole is affectionately known as “beauty and the beast”
