Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club Holes 1-3

Golf In Hong Kong brings you hole by hole descriptions of Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club, a must play for any serious golfer looking to play golf in Hong Kong.

Hole 1:
We hope you have been to the Hong Kong golf driving range before heading to this demanding 230 yards par 3 opening hole at Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club, as there is no let up from the word go! This down hill par 3 has a hazard down the right that snakes around the back of the green and two bunkers guarding the left side of the green. Your ideal line of play is to aim at the middle mound at the back of the green.


Hole 2:
The ideal line here for Hong Kong Golfers is the middle left of the fairway, which keeps you away from the three fairway bunkers of the tee. If you happen to catch the drive you may have a chance of getting up with your second shot, but you’ll be bringing into play the two fairway bunkers guarding the approach. Your aim for the shot is at the pergola on the distant hill with a long iron. Your third shot leaves you with a downhill shot with three bunkers guarding the front and right side of the green. The shot plays a little short of the yardage with more room left of the green.


Hole 3:
You have now reached one of the most picturesque and demanding holes in Hong Kong right here at Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club. With rocks and water looking at you all down the right side, you will have to carry your ball over 180 yards and over two fairway bunkers guarding the right side to safely reach the fairway. The bunker on the left side is only in play when the hole is down wind. Ideal line is the left centre of the fairway. Second club selection is crucial as the wind plays a big part with a bunker short that will take any miss-hit shots and with the ocean surrounding the green.
