Hong Kong Golf Club

The Old Course at Hong Kong Golf Club in Sheung Shui represents the club's original layout, dating to the early twentieth century when the club relocated from its previous sites in central Hong Kong. Edward Albert Ram and LS Green Hill shaped the course across gently rolling terrain in the New Territories, creating a parkland-style layout that contrasts with the more dramatic topography found elsewhere in Hong Kong. The course occupies land that was once agricultural, and mature trees now frame many of the fairways, providing definition and strategic interest. The routing takes advantage of the relatively flat terrain while incorporating subtle elevation changes and natural water features. The design reflects the strategic principles common to courses of its era, with well-positioned bunkers and greens that reward accurate approach play. As the oldest of Hong Kong Golf Club's three courses, the Old Course maintains a traditional character that appeals to members who value classic design and shot-making over modern length and target golf. Hong Kong Golf Club serves as one of the territory's most established private clubs, with a membership that includes both local and international golfers. The club has hosted numerous regional amateur championships and professional events over the decades, contributing to competitive golf in Asia. The Old Course, while perhaps less demanding than the club's newer Eden and New layouts, offers a historical perspective on golf architecture in Hong Kong and remains an integral part of the club's identity and daily play rotation.
