Sanya Yalong Bay Golf Course

Today we transfer you to the Yalong Bay Golf Course, the most famous one in Sanya. This par 72, 7,189 yards from the black tees offers golfers the challenge of playing a golf course that is a regular host golf course on the European and Asian Tours. With 98 bunkers and a snaking river that dissects the golf course and plays a major part at Yalong Bay Golf Club, the course is a true test for any standard of golfer.

The course, designed in the shape of a dragon's claw, is surrounded by stunning mountains and the South China Sea all make this a picture of tranquility. The Bermuda grass fairway gives a superb playing surface and ensures playability is at its best for everyone's enjoyment. The greens are TifDwarf ensuring a quality roll on your putts and professional finish to the look of the greens.

The current course record is held by Chapchai Nirat from Thailand who shot a 61 on the first day of the TCL Classic; an event he finally won giving him his maiden tour victory. It's not only professional golfers who enjoy a degree of success but since its opening Yalong Bay Golf Club has awarded 67 golfers with a prize after scoring golf's ultimate achievement; a hole in one.

Robert Trent Jones Junior about Yalong Bay Golf Club: "The golf course concept for the initial 18 holes at Yalong Bay Golf Club is to create a Links Land Championship Resort Course. The gentle rolling terrain has been transformed by use of native sands mimicking natural dunes of several hundred years ago, before the rice fields were built. A golf course carefully designed to incorporate native grasses and coastal vegetation appears to grow out of the spaces that nature formed. The lakes and wash marsh areas are created to catch and retain the rainfall run off and make a sizable contribution to building and maintaining the underground aquifer"

In the afternoon transfer back to the hotel and the rest of the day is at your own disposal.
