Shenzhen Golf Club (SGC) is one of the first golf clubs in China, established as early as in 1985. It is also the closest club to Hong Kong as it only takes 10 minutes on a taxi and about 20 RMB from the Huang Gang Border.
The club has traditionally been the haunt of many Japanese and Korean members - indeed the original A/B Course was designed by 'The Tower' Isao Aoki. Nelson & Haworth, who designed Century Seaview, Xili, Sheshan International in Shanghai among others, were given the task of revamping the A/B course as well as adding the newer C course. The club (A/B Course) was the venue for the 2006 Volvo China Open, which England's Paul Casey won after a playoff with fellow countryman Oliver Wilson. The club's setting, in the heart of Shenzhen, is magnificent. All in all, it's a tremendous course and a definitely 'must-play' for anyone serious about their golf.
