Course Overview
About
Beijing Qinghe Bay Golf Club is a mountain-style course, renowned for its breathtaking scenery that leaves a lasting impression on players even after the round is over. Officially opened in 2007, it was selected by Asia Golf Magazine in 2008 as the most beautiful new golf course in Asia. The club features a total of 36 holes, consisting of Course A (Chaoyang Course) and Course B (Haidian Course). In particular, Course A has gained a reputation for its beauty. The course was designed by Leslie Watts of the famous European golf design firm LCW. Overall, the fairways are narrow, and the roughs are deep and thick, making it difficult to recover the ball once it falls in. Tee shots and second shots often land in areas with narrow fairways, dense woods, or water hazards, increasing the level of difficulty. There are also many water hazards, making this a challenging course. The green speed is around 9, which is relatively fast. While the greens themselves do not have dramatic undulations, the fairways feature significant elevation changes. Course A is also equipped with lighting for night rounds. Course B was designed by Mark Hollinger of the American firm JMP Golf Design. This course generally has wider fairways and fewer bunkers or water hazards compared to Course A, but its greens are more undulating and challenging. The course is surrounded by lush greenery, with tall trees and dense foliage creating a stunning landscape.
