Review Summary:
This is a challenging and interesting course. Good conditions and beautiful scenery. But the environment could be improved. Too many loose materials, falling leaves and old facilities deducted some points.

Introduction
This is a seaside course. Around 1 hour 15 mins from Sanya Pheonix Airport and 1 hour from Yalong Bay.
Club Facilities & Service
The clubhouse looks big from the exterior but the lobby、restaurant(1, 2)、proshop aren’t as expected spacious. And the interior looks old and lack of maintainence especially the changing room(1, 2, 3) . Not much choice of food from the menu and the taste is just so so.
There are guest room(1, 2) if you would like to stay, don’t expect too much.
Fairway & Green maintenance
Very good fairways and excellent greens.
Caddy Service & knowledge
Overall not bad.
Course Design
Very interesting to play and beautiful scenery especially the first four holes of back nine which are built along the seashore. Definitely not an easy course, especially when wind comes into play.

007’s Rating
This is a challenging and interesting course. Good conditions and beautiful scenery.
But the environment could be improved. Too many loose materials, falling leaves and old facilities deducted some points.
The simple clubhouse need to renovate and should improve the variety of food and add some more facilities in order to make this place suitable for staying overnight.
