The Jockey Club - Kau Sai Chau (South course)

3-PLUS: Good course - several memorable features; worthy of 3½ stars.

Est. 1995

The Jockey Club - Kau Sai Chau (East course): The Hong Kong Jockey Club operates the only three public golf courses (North, South and East) in Hong Kong. Located on spectacular Kau Sai Chau island, the Club funded this development to meet the growing demand for golf in the region in the mid-1990s. Each of the three courses radiates out from the same clubhouse. Each meanders onto undulating terrain, giving wonderful ocean vistas with soul-stirring mountain backdrops.

The Gary Player designed South course is the shortest and easiest going of the three layouts. Laid out in two nine-hole loops it is a course on which you can either drive or walk. The back-nine takes you out to the west side of Kau Sai Chau, where you can enjoy views not seen from the other two courses.

Also in the Jockey Club's Kau Sai Chau stable is the highly regarded East course, arguably the most scenic of the three. The North course is a walking-only course, designed by Gary Player for top competitions and championships.

Did you know?

The three Jockey Club golf courses occupy the northern half of Hong Kong's sixth largest island, Kau Sai Chau. The rest of the island is largely uninhabited, except for Kau Sai Village, a small fishing hamlet of about ten houses located at the island's southern most tip. Beyond the island's north shore lies the spectacular bay of Port Shelter.
