Golfing Venues It's not as cheap to play golf as it used to be. Greens fees have tripled in the past decade, driven up no doubt by the flocks of golfing enthusiasts from Japan, where the cost of a game is through the roof. Yet compared with playing golf in Japan, Hong Kong is a giveaway, especially since the opening of the two 18-hole public golf courses at Kau Sai Chau, near Sai Kung in the New Territories. * Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club - Tel: 2719 1595 * Discovery Bay Golf Club - Tel: 2987 7273 * HK Golf Club (Fanling, NT) - Tel: 2670 1211 * HK Golf Club (Deep Water Bay, HK) - Tel: 2812 7070 * Kai Sai Chau Public Golf Course - Tel: 2791 3388 * HK Tourist Association Golf Tours - Tel: 2508 1234 |
