滘西洲公眾高爾夫球場

唔知係咪最近在大陸成日用球僮又坐球車，最近去打北場，打完個場之後差不多要飲十全大補酒再加三鞭酒，仲係要成枝咁飲嗰隻! 相信很多在香港的球友可能和我都有同感 (或者冇咁誇張) ，但我就覺得個場幾高難度，連行都難… 而球會免費提供的車仔冇乜幫助，電動個D仲衰-又重又難控制，我覺得如冇球僮的話，最好自己揹袋行。

其實我真係唔明白Gary Player(球場設計者) 一個成六十多歲的耆英! 怎可能設計出一個這樣多上山的球場(部份相信有幾層樓咁高!!)

在北場打球冇番咁上下體力或者用球僮，我覺得淨係行完個場已經謝哂(特別在夏天)！當然如果你有一定技術同fit到痺，北場會是你表現技術的一個很好的地方。

但如果你唔係的話則請你(尤其在熱天的時候)小心同帶定支藥油，已備不時之需。 我見過好多球友未打完頭九洞就頂唔順要(marshal)車返Clubhouse!!
北場有多個高難度的洞 (如第3洞同14洞的par3)，如你發球準確度不高，記住要帶定多D波，否則打完幾個洞就要借波，想考驗自已有冇自卑感很容易，book個場打完你就知，因為一個不小心(有時小心都冇用)分分鐘爆煲 。

同Gary Player設計的南及北場風格完全唔同之外，東場的設計十分受地勢影響，球道大部份都有相當多及大的高低起伏，當企係位於高高在上的tee臺望出去，十分有驚嚇及壓迫感，如大家想知道東場的設計係點，可以想像一下佢係世紀海景同雲海谷的混合體，因為三個都係N&H的出品，部份球道設計都有小小疑似….sorry…..應該係類似。

個場睇落難度好高，其實打落覺得設計師只係用左D手法令你感覺球道特別狹窄，其實大部份都有預留左D位俾你，除非你離哂位，否則問題唔算太大，特別係打過之後就會知道D位點打，壓迫感亦會減低。

不過大家唔好聽我講個場唔算太難打，就以為易呀！兩個超勁三桿洞# 8 及 # 13都幾難架，如果個場起風，打藍tee我諗Tiger Woods都未必有把握可以打par！ 我個人則比較鐘意# 4 ， # 14兩個par 4及# 18 par 5，5個洞都非常靚及好玩亦可以稱得上東場的Signature holes.

個場藍tee有6,640碼，白tee亦只係6,025碼par 72 (scorecard)，在距離上要求唔算太長，但由於個場近海會有風、高低落差大再加上需要好多carry先可以上球道或果嶺，對高差點的球友就會難好多。

至於草種亦同北及南場唔同，係用左比較翠綠的Paspalum睇落亦養眼好多。

# 2，難度十一。

短的三桿洞，果嶺在山下，打par或甚至 birdie不難(開波寧短勿長)。

# 2, index 11.

A simple downhill short par 3.

#3，紅Tee五桿洞，白同黃Tee係四桿洞 ，難度排第一。

左狗腿，呢個難度在於距離，如果你開波有番咁上下遠，就有機會打 Par。# 3, the red tee is par 5 but the others are par 4, index 1.

A long hole with a gentle turn to the left, need to have 2 good shots to have a chance for par.

#4，難度十七。
呢個洞又直又短，不過要上斜及多數頂風。
# 4, index 17
This is a short but upslope par 4, wind is against most of the time.

#5 ，難度排第七。
唔好以為排第七就會難打，只要唔大風其實唔係幾難打。
呢度個海景重靚到痺！# 5, index 7.
This is a nice a short par 3 to an elevated green, the view here is beautiful.

#6，難度排十五。

覺得呢個幾特別，順風的時候可以博一桿上果嶺但如上唔到就幾麻煩，因為個果嶺升起左，第二桿會比較難處理。# 6, index 15
A reachable short par 4 when downwind, the problems is the green is elevated, anything short will be a tough pitch.

#7，難度九

呢個上斜Dogleg right比較頭痛，要避開前面D水同球道右邊的沙池及草叢。# 7, index 9.
This is a tough hole, need to carry the water in front & aviod the hardard on the right of the fairway.

#8，難度十三。

呢個洞幾危險，不過唔係難打而係球道的設計比較差，因為在9號球道(左面)的球友會有機會被呢到開波的球手打到。# 8, index 13.
This is a dangerous hole….make sure you don’t hit anyone on the next fairway with your downhill & blind tee shot..

第九洞，難度三。
係一個右狗腿，第二桿要上山。# 9, index 3.
A nice dogleg right, the approach is uphill.

#11，難度14。

呢個三桿洞雖然只有百多碼但都唔易。# 11, index 14.
A deceiving par 3, looks easy but difficult if you miss the green..

#12，難度四。
一個大落山的右狗腿， 箭咀是果嶺位置。

# 12, index 4.
This is a big downhill par 4, dogleg right. the blue arrow is where the green is.

#13，四桿洞， 上斜左狗腿，果嶺升起。

#13, index 10.
This is an uphill dogleg left, the green is raised, a good soft shot is needed

#14，難度排第二。比難度排第一的三號洞仲長35碼! 不過因為落山所以比較容易’少少’，但如果有逆風就算食 bogey都算好彩。

# 14, index 2.
Even longer than the # 3 hole by 35 yards, A solid drive is required on this downhill par 4 to open up the green. Short & left will leave you a blind shot to the green.

#15，難度排第八。
007最初對呢個洞有D恐懼感，因為打親佢都食Double Bogey!  並唔係我發球差 O.B 而係因為佢第二桿好難打! (第二桿落點球道狹窄) ，開波落點靠右會令第二桿好打D。# 15, index 8
A long par 5, the 1st is easier due to the generous landing area but the second is tough as it is much tighter…try to position your tee shot on the right side, this will open up the fairway a bit & make the 2nd a little easier.

#16 ，難度排第三。
呢個係南場惟一令007心跳加速同要慎重考慮用唔用舊波的球洞….因為個波差不多要 carry 180 碼先可以飛過前面的湖，打得短就入水，打得太遠又會入果嶺後的沙池….勁.難攪， 打向果嶺的右邊少少係最安全的辨法。# 16, index 3.
This is a nice but daunting par 3….and the only hole that I will consider using an old ball, as you’ll need to carry some 180 yards over water from the white tee. Go slightly right is the safer option.

#17 ，難度十八。
呢個洞排十八應該最易打，但007總覺得佢並不容易，個人相信比佢易的四桿洞有 4，6同 8 號洞，你地點睇？ 果嶺亦有幾多斜度。# 17, index 18.
Can’t agree with the index 18 here as it is longer and harder than other par 4 such as 6 & 8s….the green side deep bunker on the right is also tough to get out.

#18，難度排十二。
小右狗腿，第二桿就要上山，係一個唔錯的 finishing hole。# 18, index 12.
A nice dogleg right finishing hole, with hazard on the right all the way.

#2，難度 – 9。

呢個只有300多D碼，開波可以用中長鐵桿向球道中既大樹打， 球道亦算闊，難度在於上果嶺的第二桿。

# 3，難度 – 9。呢個三桿球洞都幾得人驚，因為果嶺係屬於 Island Green，只有左邊有少少水位走盞，選桿同落點要求非常重要。

# 4，難度 – 3

呢個洞要過崖既dogleg left，呢個洞唔易攪。

# 5，難度 – 13

呢處開波又要’飛’過前面百多碼陷阱同上斜。

#6，難度 – 男 15

呢個球道在山下，可以用長鐵開波，大力士順風可以博one on。

# 7，難度 – 17

呢個短三桿洞比較容易，打par 或birdie靠佢。

# 8，難度 – 7。

呢個屬長五桿洞，難度在於距離。

# 9，難度 – 1。

呢個四桿洞難度高成點？400幾碼仲要頂風，打標準桿幾高難度！

#10，難度 – 4, 男PAR 4, 女 PAR 5

呢個長4 桿洞難度在於上果嶺，因為前面有水同個大沙池。

#11，難度 – 12

呢個三桿洞要打上山，果嶺兩邊亦有幾個沙池，都唔易打par。

#12，難度 – 2

想係呢個洞打得好就要心理同生理都掂先o.k.
因為除紅tee 之外，其它tee台開波都要有距離同準確先掂，否則就乜都會可能發生如入長草，水同沙池，懸崖等，第二桿亦有一定難度。

#13，難度 – 18呢到難度雖然話係最低，但開波仍然要克服發球區前面的懸崖的心理障礙。

第二桿亦要避開果嶺前面嘅沙池.

#14，難度 – 6

呢個三桿洞易唔易？ 大家可以睇下張相自己決定。

#15，難度 – 14

呢個洞左邊全部都會出事，開波一定要中間偏右，因為最多都係入沙池或入右邊 16號洞的球道 (冇O. B)…如果支旗插係果嶺前面仲正，因為可以避開果嶺前面個沙池 (因為佢差不多有 007咁高 ….6 呎差幾吋)。

#16，難度 – 16

呢到順風可以試下一桿上果嶺…不過就幾危險，因為個果嶺升起左，用 Driver上到亦可能會停唔住。最穩陣就打160-180碼，留番第二桿上。

#17，難度 – 8

呢處難度在於距離，我係到打 Bogey 都會收貨。

#18，難度 – 10

呢度開波同其它大部份球道一樣，需要 carry，第二桿就要打上斜的球嶺。

Your tee shot will need to fly over the ravine in front, the approach is downhill to a slightly elevated green.

I ndex 17……sounds easy, right? Only you hit the ball dead straight with the right distance! Anything left or right will need to reload another ball.

Wow, what a view!

The 1st photo is taken from the blue tee…..10 or 12 stories above the fairway (the 1st photo is taken from the blue tee, the 2nd photo is off the white tee with much less elevation changes).

Great hole!

From the blue tee, this will be a much harder hole with 211 yards, the white tee is much more friendly at 125 yards.

I think this is an awkward par 5, the tee shot is uphill & first time player will not know where to aim but before you tee it up please make sure the group in front is clear before you take the drive.

This is a severe downhill par 4, I almost reached the green (with lots of rol l & from the white tee) so longer hitter wanting to have a hit should wait until the green is cleared.

This is a long & tough par 3, there is a bail out area left of the green (the 3rd phtos) but it slopes towards the hazard…..

The 1st photo is taken from the white tee, the 2nd is taken from the blue tee. (Scary looking hole, isn’t it?).

This is one of the longer par 4, going slightly downslope, the approach to the green is very intimidating as there is no room for error.

This is an interesting par 5, have to hit the tee shot nice & straight as left, right & short are all troubles. The approach is not easy either, you will have to go for the green in 2 or lay up way short as the nearest lay up area is still 150 -170 yards away from the slightly elevated green.

This is a downhill par 4, have to hit a straight one here.

This is a short par 4, there is a bit more room on the right side for the tee shot than you think, the approach is to an elevated green guarded by deep bunkers.

This is one beautiful & yet very scary hole to look at from the blue tee (the 2nd photo), the green seems to be floating on water! Absolutely breathtaking. This par 3 green is elevated and requires all carry with little margin for error. From the white tee ( the 1st photo), it is much shorter, has a better angle & bit more room to land the ball.

This is another good looking hole, check out the view here!

The drive is downhill, if you find the fairway, the approach should be pretty simple.

This is the easiest hole on the course, severe (7 or 8 stories) downhill par 3, finding the right club is the difficult part.

The tee box is below the fairway on this par 5 so the tee box offers little idea how wide the fairway is for the first time player. Obviously, the designer is trying fool you, in fact, there are more room than you think on the right(see the 2nd photo) but if you lean right, the 2nd shot will be much longer to the green. The green is elevated & shallow, if you hit long or low, it will roll off the green & possibly into deep rough, so try to hit a high & soft shot.

This is a tough par 4, a long hole and the approach is up the slope.

This is one of the more ‘interesting’ hole. You have to carry (around 180-200 yards from the white, slightly longer from the blue tee) the ravine with your tee shot, for the 1st time player, you need to drive up the fairway with your cart on the 2nd shot to find out where to aim, and the landing area is 10 stories below!

The elevated green is guarded by a deep bunker on the right side.
