Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club Hong Kong

The final three holes of the backnine at Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club in Hong Kong provide any golfer with a real test of their golfing abilities. Here’s the hole by hole descriptions continuing on from our series.

Hole 7 at Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club Here, depending on the wind, provides the longer hitter a chance to go for the green though for the normal Hong Kong golfer, they will need to position the ball to the right side of the fairway with a long iron or wood that will keep clear of the water left and the bunker. This leaves players with a short iron that has three bunkers guarding the green that slopes from back to front.

Hole 8 at Clearwater Bay is a dogleg left requiring some thought from the tee box. The best line is to aim for the bunker on the hill with a draw. There is a ball out area to the right that will leave a longer club in. The second shot is hard to judge as it plays slightly uphill and toward the horizon which makes it difficult to see. Again, check the flag placement to ensure the right club selection. The green is guarded with a bunker left and right.

For Hole 9 your tee ball needs to be well placed here to avoid the four fairway bunkers that are looking straight at you. A long iron or wood will leave you with a short iron to another big green that has a false front that will stop any ball that is short. Again, club selection is crucial with yet another uphill approach to end the back nine at Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club.
