This tropical garden golf course is developed on the flat terrain in
a hilly area. The fairways are wavy. Palm trees and lakes not only come
into play on many holes but also adds to the beauty of the course. The
greens use bent grasses which is rare in subtropical regions like Taiwan
because most courses use Bermuda grasses. My freind who played in 2016
says that Both the greens & the fairways conditions are bad. It is
a pity to have poor maintenance in spite of its excellent layout.

|
|
| A straight hole with a downhill
tee shot. A long hitter can reach the green in 2 but it is not easy to do so with
water on the right and a deep & large bunker guarding the front left of the
green. |
| |
|
|
| A slight dog leg to the right
with the green swung to the left. The fairway is curvy and the second shot is
uphill. The green slopes from the back to the front. |

An astonishing par 3 over a lake.
80 % of the relatively small green is surrounded by water, so the downhill tee
shot is rather intimidating. The surrounding cluster of palm trees creates an
excellent atmosphere. |
| |
| |
| A
difficult, slight dogleg to the left. The landing zone of the downhill tee shot
is narrow. A lake extends from the left corner 220 yards off the tee to the green
and the left side of the green faces the lake. The green slopes from the left
to the lake on the right. |

|
|
| |
| A challenging, very long par 3 over
water. This hole is beautiful with a lake in front and palm trees behind the undulating
large, deep green. |
| |
| |
| A slight dogleg to the right.
Palm trees line both sides of the very tight fairway. The overhanging palm tress
on the right come into play, pressuring you on the tee shot. |
|
|
| |
| A
straight, long par 4. The entrance to the green is squeezed by a lake and the
green also borders the lake on the right, so you can’t hit short or slice the
ball on the second shot. |
| |
|
|
| |
| An
almost straight, tough hole. The wide green is double-tiered and slopes sharply
from left to right. The green is well protected by deep bunkers at the front with
OB close to it on the right. When the pin position is on the right, the hole becomes
more difficult. Overall, this is a hole requiring both distance and accuracy.

|
|
| |
| A
signature hole. It is a demanding, long par 3 over water but is beautiful, like
a postcard. There is another hole that is 149 yards long, surrounded by water.
This alternative green has no putting grass but the hole itself is about 8 meters
(25 ft.) in diameter, thus you have a much higher chance to achieve a hole in
one. This alternative hole really has a sense of fun. |

|
|
|
| |
| A
straight par 5, reachable in 2. If you decide to lay up on the second shot, the
landing area is limited as water comes into play 120 yards off in front of the
green. The left half of the green is surrounded by water. |
