This golf club is ideal for those who'd like to have a decent round of golf and be back in Hong Kong early.

Introduction

This golf club is ideal for those who’d like to have a decent round of golf and be back in Hong Kong early. In fact, the club is right next to another golf club – Sand River, both are fairly easy to get to & conveniently located within Shenzhen and closed to Shekuo, the taxi ride from Huang Gang would take 20′ & 40 RMB & Lu Wu would need about 30 minutes and 60 RMB.

Club Facilities & Service

The club house is quite new with good quality finish, the finishes of the changing room and restaurant, proshop & driving range etc. are decent, the service of the stuff was reasonably good.

Fairway & Green Maintenance

NobleMerchant-Green
Both fairways & greens were in reasonably good shape this time and the landscaping of the course was quite nice too.The club being in the city, the views is predominately to the surroundings buildings.

Caddy’s Service & Knowledge

My caddy’s service was reasonably good & knowledge of the course was much better than before.

Course Design

NobleMerchant-Course-View2
The club is built on a fairly flat piece of land with little or no up and downhill, most fairways are connected with little out of bound boundary, in addition to its rather short distance of 5,968 yards and generous fairways, apart from a couple of more difficult par 3s, this is surely the easiest course I have played.Beginners may find this course very user friendly but the longer hitters and low handicappers may find this lack of good challenges.

    # 5, Blue Tee 520, white 490, red 460. Par 5, index 8
    A big dogleg to the right, long hitter can take aim of the blue arrow to cut short…otherwise, take a safe route to the lefta bit, the 2nd will have a big tree in the middle, take it to the right a bit for a better angle to the green.

    # 7, Blue Tee 132, white 109, red 90. Par 3, index 4
    A nice looking but can be very nasty island par 3, the small green is elevated with water all round. Be careful….this is the most dangerous hole on the course.

    A gentle dogleg to the right, need to have a good drive as the trees either side of the fairway can be a problem.

    # 11, Blue Tee 491, white 467, red 420. Par 5, index 1
    Quite a simple par 5 but with an index of 1…?!
    This is a dogleg left, aim slightly to right of the bunker will set you up to a straight forward approach.

    # 16, Blue Tee 175, white 157, red 131. Par 3, index 3
    One of the tougher par 3, need to carry water all the way to the green.

  • NobleMerchant-H17-1
    # 17, Blue Tee 260, white 225, red 180. Par 4, index 13
    Used to a drivable par 4, now they added water just in front of the green…..take a drive to the right of the green & a chip is the best option as lay up will leave you a difficult lob shot.

    # 18, Blue Tee 518, white 480, red 432. Par 5, index 6
    Par 5, a good driving hole, the 2nd will need to lay up in front of the water, the 3rd will be a mid-iron to the green.

007’s Rating

The club is nice, location is convenient & the course is quite simple & straight forward….even though the club tried to beef up the course by adding few more bunkers & pond few years ago, this is still a relatively easy course, ideal for beginners to learn the tricks of the trade & prefect for mid-handicappers who try to break 90 or even 80.

The course has matured over the years & has a decent surrounding & landscaping 1 & 2 perfect for those who lives in Hong Kong & have a quick & simple round.
