Shenzhen Jiulong Hills Golf Club

The Shenzhen Jiulong Hills Golf Club is located near the artist´s village of Guanlan on the northern edge of the South Chinese city of Shenzhen in the province of Guangdong. It lies in the midst of forested hills on a hilly terrain with partially dramatic altitude differences. Located about a quarter of an hour from the center of Guanlan, the Shenzhen Jiulong Hills Golf Club can be reached in three quarters of an hour from Shenzhen via the G 94. It was founded in 2001 and has an 18-hole-course in parkland style with par 72, which was designed by Wang Guanglin. The 6,345-meter-long course has short, narrow fairways, which are densely lined by trees, mostly elevated greens, doglegs, deep, finger-shaped bunkers, and very many water hazards. Water is relevant at most of the holes for the golfers, who must overplay it at 9 of 18 holes. Thereby, hole 2 is worth mentioning, where a peninsula green must be reached, as well as hole 12, where not only a lake, but also a gorge and a bunker in front of the green must be overcome. Furthermore, the back nine are illuminated and people like to use them for popular nighttime golfing. Due to its numerous obstacles, the course at the Shenzhen Jiulong Hills Golf Club is said to be very challenging and is therefore rather recommended for experienced golfers. Due to the constantly changing incline of the course, beginners might have a difficult stand here.
