Hong Kong Golf Club, Fanling (Eden course)

The renowned Hong Kong Golf Club at Fanling offers three well-regarded and attractive 18-hole layouts, namely the Old, New and Eden courses. These mainly tree-lined parkland layouts each deliver plenty of golfing challenge, combined with many attractive features and excellent upkeep.



Laid out as a seven-hole loop from the clubhouse, followed by a 11-hole loop, the Eden course is the shortest and many would say the tightest of the Club's offerings. Along the way you'll encounter some testing water hazards, as well as the need for accuracy over length most of the time.

There's trouble aplenty if you stray too far offline from the par-3 3rd thru' to the short par-5 6th. These four testing holes are laid out on the side of a steep hill. From the par-3 5th there's a good view into China and the sprawling metropolis of Shenzhen.

Ten holes of the Eden course join forces with eight from the New course to create a "Composite layout" for the Hong Kong Open championship. Plenty of drama has been seen over the years at the Eden's par-4 18th ("The Ultimate"), the tournament's closing hole, with water to cross directly in front of the green.
