The course is built on a flat terrain near the seashore. It becomes more difficult when the north wind is blowing. Palm trees have just been planted and are very young, and you see a lot of wastelands because the development around the course is not yet completed. However, the view will improve a lot after several more years.

A par 3 over a lake. Water in front and on the right of the green as well as bunkers around the green come into play. The houses behind the green make this beautiful hole more charming.

A creek crosses the fairway 200 yards in front of the green. Palm trees lined up along the seashore that sweeps away on the left of the hole are impressive.

A very long par 4. The view around the green seen from the second shot is excellent. The second shot is slightly uphill and it is very difficult to hit the green in regulation unless you are a very long hitter. The green is deep and double tiered. This is a hole that you are very happy with par.

Houses in the course

It takes 30 minutes from Haikou Airport and 15 minutes from Haikou city by car. Inside the clubhouse is superb. A big hot spring bath is available. Some 500 hundred houses built in the course and the design is novel and charming, which is very different from those often seen in China. Meishi Mayflower International (美視五月花國際) GC is located next to this golf club, sharing the same scenic coastline.
