Hidden Grace GC
Hidden Grace Golf Club (formerly known as the CITIC Green Golf Club, then Genzon GC): originally laid out in a former botanical garden, the facilities here were bought by the Genzon Group in 2005. The new owners embarked on a large scale development of the site, which saw the original 18-hole CITIC Green layout transformed into two private 18-hole Neil Haworth-designed courses, named A and B.
The courses make good use of the amply-sized Dragon Lake, with the B course incorporating a little more elevation change than the A. The A course has hosted the European Tour sanctioned Volvo China Open.
Limited access: this private course is generally playable only by members and their invited guests.
Private club; guests staying at the Shenzhen Castle Hotel can check with the hotel regarding playing possibilities and associated rates.
The back-nine of the B course is floodlit for night golf.
Excellent (including a two-tier driving range).
Hidden Grace Golf Club's "A" course has hosted several editions of the Volvo China Open and Shenzhen International, both European Tour co-sanctioned events.

Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
