This Hong Kong course is nicely designed, as usual by the CGX team, but is not overly difficult as you will find out. It starts with an unexpected sight as you will face a beautiful... mountainous panorama on the par-4 1st hole, before hitting your tee shot toward a winding and undulating fairway, and following with your approach to the green, while making sure to avoid a small pond, not far from it, on the right. It is only after the par-3 2nd hole that you will see some high-rise buildings as you get ready to hit your downhill tee shot on the par-5 3rd, where you should be able to putt for an eagle, if you can avoid the elongated lake on the left of the green on your second shot. The right dogleg par-4 4th hole, on another hand, is only 270-yard long, but you can forget about trying to reach its slightly-elevated green from the tee, with plenty of trees in the right corner, before moving a little bit further to the left dogleg par-4 7th hole, not too difficult but nice with a tiny stream running along the fairway on the left side all the way to the green, and the short (435 yards) left dogleg par-5 9th, where you should finish the front 9 with an eagle opportunity. The back 9 starts with the right dogleg par-4 10th hole, with a little stream running across in front of the green, and continues with the picturesque (but not too tough) par-5 12th, with those high-rise buildings on the left, near the slightly-downhill green, and the high mountains right behind. The right dogleg par-4 15th hole is a little bit similar to the 12th hole (with the same panorama) but you will have to be careful on your tee shot to avoid a small stream running across the fairway midway before aiming for the green, then moving on to the right dogleg par-4 16th, with its green, partially hidden by trees on the right side. Finally, after the par-4 17th hole and its blind and slightly-uphill tee shot (and its stream across, halfway), you will face the Hong Kong skyline, one last time, on the par-4 18th, with a big pond to watch for in front of the green on the right. With its greenery and plenty of trees, its (sometimes) narrow fairways (on the front 9) and wider ones coming back, this par 71 is quite nice to look at and fun to play, thanks to the CGX team !

As you can see there is a A and B version of this course, both versions are the same, only the flag position on the green is different. Important note: a lot of CGX courses are only playable from the: PRO tees The cgx designers created courses in high tempo, so they only made the pro tees playable. So in TW08 you have to select the PRO tees.
