HONG KONG GOLF CLUB
Fanling, Hong Kong
PAR 70
YARDAGE 6,711
Hong Kong Golf Club, established in 1889, has been a fixture in professional golf for more than six decades
The club has hosted the Hong Kong Open since 1959 and is currently part of the 2024 Asian Tour schedule as one of the 10 International Series tournaments
The Hong Kong Open is one of just three events in the history of golf to be played at the same venue for more than six decades
Fireballs GC's Abraham Ancer won the inaugural LIV Golf Hong Kong in 2024 in a three-man playoff against Ripper GC Captain Cameron Smith and Crushers GC's Paul Casey
4Aces GC star Patrick Reed won the 2024 LINK Hong Kong Open, shooting a third-round 59, while Majesticks GC Co-Captain Ian Poulter shot a 60 en route to winning the 2010 Hong Kong Open
LIV Golf Hong Kong will utilize the same composite layout at Fanling that is used by the Hong Kong Open
The dogleg left 493-yard ninth, the longest par 4 on the course, and the 410-yard par-4 18th tied as the most difficult hole during the 2024 LIV Golf Hong Kong, with each hole playing to a stroke average of 4.167.
The 429-yard par-5 13th was the easiest hole on the course in 2024, playing to a stroke average of 4.389. A total of 13 eagles and 82 birdies were made on that hole.
The 288-yard par-4 fourth was the second easiest par-4 on the course and is drivable under soft conditions. It played to a stroke average of 3.759 but did not yield an eagle.
The field stroke average for the par-70 course in 2024 was 68.216.
The 13th and 17th holes share a large double green, leading to potentially long putts.
The par-4 16th is a slight downhill dogleg right – and offers players a blind tee shot. A nice high fade is usually the proper play.
One of the best viewing spots for on-site spectators is the green behind the third hole, with action on the 18th green and 4th tee box also within view.
1. Legion XIII – 56.002. Fireballs GC – 40.003. Crushers GC – 24.004. Ripper GC – 20.005. RangeGoats GC – 20.006. Torque GC – 18.007. Majesticks GC – 5.168. 4Aces GC – 4.669. HyFlyers GC – 4.6610. Cleeks GC – 4.0011. Stinger GC – 1.5012. Iron Heads GC – 0.00
13. Smash GC – 0.00
