Golden Zone at Wing On Golf Country Club

Wing On Golf Country Club's Golden Zone course occupies rolling terrain in Dongshan, located in the northern reaches of Tainan in southern Taiwan. Pete Dye designed the layout, bringing his characteristic strategic design philosophy to this subtropical setting. The course reflects Dye's tendency to create strong visual definition and strategic options through bunkering, mounding, and green complexes that reward thoughtful course management.

The routing works across varied topography that provides natural elevation changes and views over the surrounding agricultural landscape of the Tainan region. Dye's design incorporates his signature elements—railroad ties, waste areas, and greens with pronounced contouring—adapted to the local climate and growing conditions. Water features appear on several holes, typical of both Dye's work and the regional landscape, adding strategic considerations for approach shots and driving corridors.

Wing On Golf Country Club operates as a private facility serving members primarily from the Tainan and broader southern Taiwan business community. The Golden Zone course is part of a larger golf complex that reflects Taiwan's golf development during the late twentieth century, when international architects were commissioned to design courses for the island's growing golf market. The club provides traditional country club amenities including dining facilities that incorporate both Taiwanese and international cuisine, consistent with membership expectations at private clubs in the region.
