The Fanling Golf Club is actually the Hong Kong Golf Club and usually goes by the name “The Hong Kong Golf Club at Fanling.  For our cases, because it seems many people think Fanling Golf Club is the proper name, we’ll refer to it here as such, and not it’s proper name.

The Fanling Golf Club is Hong Kong’s oldest golf club and actually consists of three courses, The Old Course, The New Course and The Eden Course.  In this Golf in Hong Kong  blog post, we’ll be giving you our review of rthe New Course at the Fanling Golf Club.  The New Course is not surprisingly, the newest golf courses at Fanling Golf Club, and we think it’s the best golf  course in Hong Kong.  It’s the longest and most challenging, and serious golfers in Hong Kong will enjoy this golf course in Hong Kong.  The New Course at Fanling Golf Club starts off with a relatively easy Par 4, but longer players can’t hit driver off the tee as there’s a small creek that splits the fairway which you can easily hit into.  You’ll need to lay back and take your medicine and hit a middle to long-iron into this pretty large green.  It’s one of our favourite opening holes of any golf course in Hong Kong, a nice gentle start that can a high score can really only be made by hitting a total quacker.

The 2nd hole of the New Course at Fanling Golf Club is a good little Par 3, plays ever so slightly uphill and most players will be hitting wedge or 9 into this two tiered green.  A great little hole, hit a good shit and you can make an easy birdie, hit a bad shot and you can make double in a heartbeat (as with many of the holes on the New Course at Hong Kong Golf Club) or Fanling Golf Club.  The third is an excellent dogleg left Par 5, cut off as much as you want but run the risk of catching the trees. It’s reachable and is one of our favourite holes at Fanling Golf Club even though it’s not spectacular by any means of the word.  It keeps getting better as the 4th, a long uphill Par 3, is probably the most demanding Par 3’s of any of the three courses at Fanling Golf Club.  Again, you can easily make a bogey, double or worse. Hitting the green here is a feat in itself.  The 5th at Fanling Golf Club is one of those annoying little par 4’s that you think you should easily make Par every time.  It’s really just a 3-wood-flip wedge, but the green slopes severely back to front. We’ve putted off this green into the front bunker and make a snowman on this hole and I think we’ve bogeyed it more times than we’ve parred it.  It’s annoying, but it a good sense of the word.

The 6th hole at Fanling Golf Club is a stronger Par 4, you need to be long to reach the top of the hill and give yourself a look at the green.  The 7th is another very straight forward Par 3 that we think typifies many of the holes at Fanling Golf Club. It’s right there in front of you, when you stand on the tee, it’s not daunting, but once you reach the green, that’s where the problems start.  The 8th hole at Fanling Golf Club is a long Par 4, you must hit the fairway to give yourself the best chance of making a Par.  The 9th is one of our favourites, another reachable Par 5, dogleg leg. If you hit it good, and cut the corner, you could end up with a long or even mid iron in your hand for your second, but the really challenge of this hole at the Fanling Golf Club is the approach, with water left, bunker right, trouble long, to get it close requires nothing but the very best golf shot.

The 10th is a nice straight away Par 4, this is your best chance at birdie on a Par 4.  The 12th is another long strong Par 4, dogleg right, and par on this hole is a great effort.  It’s a difficult driving hole, trees and trouble left, and trees and OB right. Fanling Golf Club’s 13th is an easy little Par 3, this is one hole they could something with, they have alternate tees for the Hong Kong Open and these should be used for regular play as the 120-130 yard hole is not really that much if a challenge unless you’re really hacking it around.  The 14th is a par 5, again reachable for longer hitters but you must get all of all your driver to have a chance as the fairway is slightly elevated. The 15th is another little tricky and very annoying Par 4. The approach is one of the best out here at Fanling Golf Club and  big number can me made with even half a decent shot as anything errant will spell trouble.  The 16th is down the hill and longer players will want to lay up to avoid another creek.

The 17th hole at Fanling Golf Club is a good short Par 3, there’s some trouble around so even though most of us will be hitting a short iron, it’s intimidation factor comes into play.  The 18th is a blind tee shot, there’s a stake on top of the hill that’s an aiming point, but we aim right of that, between that and the tree line on the right.  Don’t miss it left.

The New Course at Fanling Golf Clubs is our favourite golf course in Hong Kong.  Check it out and you wont be disappointed. Check out how you can play it by visiting hkgolfclub.org
