Playing Tips

The course plays long at roughly 6,500–6,600 yards, so prioritize distance off the tee to leave comfortable approach shots.

The 4th tee sits on an elevated platform with expansive views, so factor wind and elevation into club selection and consider taking an extra club when into the wind.

Many holes are framed by trees and strategic routing, so accuracy and shot-shaping will often beat pure power to avoid blocked angles.

Bentgrass greens are maintained smoothly and can be quick when firm, so focus on pace control and read subtle breaks carefully.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Shenzhen has a humid subtropical, monsoon-influenced climate with hot, humid and rainy summers (May–September), occasional typhoons and strong winds in late summer, and mild, relatively dry winters (November–February); local sea breezes can develop in the afternoons.

Best Season to Play

Autumn (October–November) offers the nicest combination of mild temperatures and lower rainfall, with spring (March–April) a good second choice for pleasant conditions.
