South at Linkou International Golf & Country Club

The South Course at Linkou International Golf & Country Club represents Jack Nicklaus's design work in northern Taiwan, situated in the Linkou district of New Taipei City. The facility lies in the hills west of Taipei, an area that transitioned from military use to residential and recreational development in recent decades. Nicklaus's routing takes advantage of the rolling terrain characteristic of this region, with elevation changes that provide variety in shot requirements and strategic options throughout the round.

The course reflects Nicklaus's design principles from his work in Asia during the golf development boom, typically emphasizing wide fairways that reward accurate driving, strategically placed bunkers, and greens with sufficient contour to challenge approach play and putting. The subtropical climate of northern Taiwan means the course plays firm during drier months and softer during the rainy season, affecting how the design features present themselves to players. The property's elevation offers views across the Linkou plateau toward the Taiwan Strait.

Linkou International operates as a private club serving members from the greater Taipei metropolitan area. The facility includes multiple courses and amenities typical of comprehensive country club developments in Taiwan, where golf clubs often function as social and business networking centers. The South Course, as part of a Nicklaus-designed property, attracts golfers interested in experiencing international architect work within Taiwan's competitive golf market.
