Review Summary:
To sum up, this is one beautiful golf course, interesting design course, nicely maintained, lovely landscaping, the only imperfection I can think of were the lighting poles dotted around the course..........but there again, nothing is prefect, I suppose, specially you want to have a hit in the evening.

Introduction
Had a chat with one of our members during a round & asked her which course she believed to be the best she played in China, she put her little thumb up & said – Junan is the best. That good? And I was there to check it out myself the following week…
To get there from Hong Kong, you will need to take a 2 hour ferry to Shunde from China Hong Kong City, TST & a 40 minutes ride by car or taxi.
Club Facilities & Service
Sizeable club house with decent facilities, staff are polite and friendly. Food was also very nice (Chefs from Shunde are the best from the country, have to give them a try!).
Fairway & Green maintenance
Tip-top condition, as good as my old favourite Agile GC, landscaping was very nice too with beautiful flower beds along some of the fairways.
Caddy Service & knowledge
I used a grade A caddy who was reasonably knowledgeable about the course.
Course Design
Interesting & with lots of varieties, dogleg left, right, up & down hill, everything you expect to have on a golf course, you will find it here.
The main feature of the course is generous fairways & majority of the greens are elevated but they are relatively large with gentle slops.
Another local design golf course, well done!

-
A nice & easy starting hole with generous fairway.
The downslope approach is a little harder as you will need to land softly on the elevated green with big bunker on the front left.
-
Another elevated green on this par 3.
-
A big dogleg left, check your yardage with the caddy as you may get into the big bunker in the middle of the fairway.The approach is uphill.
-
This is a signature hole as I am sure you will not ‘forget’ the unusual design.
The tee shot should go to the blue arrow (200 yards minimum), if you are short – go to the right a bit.
You can give the 2nd a try to land on the green but there will be lots of water to carry.
Alternatively, you can lay up in front of the water, leaving a 140 yards shot to the green, protected by a front bunker.
-
A gentle dogleg to the right about 210 yards out.
The approach is slightly up the slope onto a elevated green.
-
The green of this par 3 is elevated…again.
-
A slightly upslope par 4, it will be ideal if you can lean to the left but not too much left (water).
The approach is upslope too.
-
You need at least 180 -190 yards to reach the turn of the big dogleg right.
Water is on your left side with bunkers guarding the elevated green.
-
A gentle downslope par 5, water is on the left.Watch out for the a small stream that run across the fairway about 100 yards or so in front of the green.
-
A dogleg left par 4 going gently uphill.
-
Dogleg left, need 200 plus to get over the water & bunker or lay up left a bit if you are short .
The green slopes from back to front with 2 drops, check where you want to land the approach.
-
Need to land your tee shot softly on this elevated par 3.
-
Water is on the right side of the fairway, the green is elevated….again with a big front right bunker.
-
Lean your tee shot to the left on this one as if you are too right & short, you may not be able to see the green.
-
An interesting but dangerous par 5.
The fairway is split by a big bunker into 2, if you have a good drive, you will be tempted to reach the green in 2…..but the catch is you will need to fly quite a bit over water to an elevated green with lots of bunkers……what’s your choice?
-
A long par 4 going upslope all the way to the green.
-
A medium length par 3.
-
A beautiful long par 5 with lots of landscaping & flower beds.
Trouble all on the right side, need to be careful of the lay up as there is another small steam that run across the fairway.
