| A long par 5 with a lake on the right side of the
hole. The tee shot is demanding because of the tight fairway, the lake and
well-positioned bunkers on the right. The approach shot should be accurate
since the lake actually surrounds the green except for the left side. The
green is big and has good undulations. |

|
|

|
|
| A dogleg to the left. The water hazards guard
both sides of the relatively narrow fairway. The approach shot is over water
because of the lake which covers an area from the front edge of the green
to a point 90 yards out. The elevated green is really beautiful. |

A beautiful par 3. The green is guarded by bunkers and there is water on
the right. |
| |
|
|
|
A slight dogleg to the right with the lake running the right of the hole.
This par-4 9th is like the mirror image of the par-4 18th with the lake
separating the 2 par 4s. The view of the clubhouse and the hotel from the
hole is beautiful. |

|
| A sharp dogleg to the left with a great layout
and view. Although a lake guards the left side of the hole, you had better
avoid the wider part of the lake on the tee shot, as this will greatly reduce
the length of the second shot. When the pin position is at the back, the
second shot needs to be over the bunkers, so it will be more difficult. |

A neat par 3 with a little elevated green. Two bunkers in front of both
sides of the green are in play. |
| |
|
|
|
A dogleg to the left. The left side of the fairway borders the lake and
the fairway is tight, too, at this hole. The elevated green is guarded by
3 front bunkers. |
| |
|
|
|
An almost straight hole with water on the right for the tee shot and water
on the left for the second. The landing area for the second shot is extremely
tight because of the lake at the right side of the fairway. |

It takes about 30 minutes by the club bus from the Zhuhai ferry terminal.
The meals at the restaurant were delicious. I stayed at the hotel next
to the clubhouse and the view from the room was excellent.
