It would be nice if Uncle 4 can donate the lands for building golf courses. I will vote him for CE of HKSAR.

I thought Uncle 4 and Superman Lee are already the CE of Hong Kong! 😀
The way is going, I honestly believe they will close Fanling GC, and just change the name of KSC to Hong Kong Golf Club. 😳 👿
Surely, if Singapore, a much smaller island than Hong Kong, can accommodate 20+ golf courses, there must be more land in the New Territory, right? Or Both Lees have all the land there already? 🙄 -

Running a golf club can be quite profitable, so you can see $15mm for a playing opportunity at fanling!!!
The sad fact is that hk is now not only occupied by developors, but also loads of selfish people.. -

“loads of selfish people”
….loads of selfish, communist minded people. what they want is right, what is not their benefits = wrong….
the rules are rules when they like when its not to their benefits, the rules are CHINESE, no freedom!
first ask what have you done for Hong Kong, then ask why Hong Kong owe you so much!

If the government is to take back the golf club, I would suggest that it should also take back part of jockey club, all sport and recreation clubs such ad south china, crc, ccc, Indian club and basically all clubs that lease land from government. Can you imaging all the city land those clubs occupy? Why single out fanling? I don’t race so take back jockey club at happy valley and build housing. I don’t play soccer so take back south china stadium. The list can go on and on.

sorry but i am not for the govt. i do not want to see HKGC taken back. I am not a member there but i feel it has a lot of history there and have added value to hong kong as a whole.
But it is obvious it is an easy target. It’s big. It’s in NT, an area the govt already want to develop.
Indian club, ccc, crc, etc, they don’t offer the land supply like HKGC. like CWB, what’s the point of taking it back? to build resort homes on a pennisula? and CWB does not have a good public transportation near there….
Also, to take back happy valley and jockey club? Do you know how much money jockey club makes? How many jobs provided there? How much of its earnings go back to the community? Even KSC is built from jockey club money. So even if i do not gamble on horse race, last thing you want to take back is the happy valley land.
It’s the WHOLE industry you are getting rid of. As for HKGC, how much of the use of the land and income they make, is returned to the community???How many super athletes they produced there?? NONE!….
also, who will build another golf course elsewhere? SUPER LEES?? everyone knows golf courses are not profitable with high maintenance. and not to mention the environmental issue? why destroy something nice and prestige that is already here.
But like some of you have mentioned, singapore has over 20+ courses and govt is looking into taking back some of their golf courses. Our govt doesn’t need to copy what others are doing becasue we only have a few courses only. And hkg is way bigger than singapore. sg population is growing too at a faster rate.
i do not think govt will take it back maybe just old course.
Superman LEE doesn’t care cuz he playes DWB every morning.
LOL

If the government can take back City Golf and Asia Golf to build housing, what reason is there for not consider all other recreational land in the city by all these clubs which has very limited or no access from the general public. The size of land area is definitely comparable to those of driving ranges. By the same token, one really only need the Shatin race course and give up the Happy Valley one together with HKJC’s country club in NT which serve very few people.
One just gets very frustrated nowadays with the state of affair in Hong Kong where everything is ruled by who shout the loudest, unreasonable protests and general public opinion basically influenced by media. Hong Kong is very quickly becoming unmanageable.

Fanling is open to visitors on most weekdays, under certain rules, anyone that comes up with $2000 can book & play, if you want to pay less, the HKGA has tournament like summer classic, senior and handicap tournaments, the fee to these events only cost few hundred bucks, pretty good deal.
I believe Fanling is not using all 3 courses to the limit, in my opinion, they only need 2…..give 1 back & change it to a public course. 😀

The new stadium at Kai Tak will hold many concerts, so the using rate will be much higher. It won’t be “white elephant” anymore.
But so are the concert hall(s) on kowloon west. How many concerts will we have at the same time? We better get our own version of AKB48 who can hold multiple concerts at the same time all over HK.

Hong Kong Open is not in the European Tour this year (2013), but I heard that it would be played after the DP World Tour Championship i.e., the first match in the 2014 season. Anybody knows what is going on?
If Fanling Golf Club is going to be turn into housing estates, is there better venue for Hong Kong Open? I would say it is a shame not having the Hong Kong Open held in Fanling and not having it as one of the European Tour event – it has been in Euorpean Tour since 2001.
Look at Shanghai, there are 2 European Tour events each year!
