Beijing Honghua International Golf Club adopts a rare classic square design, and all bunkers are made of white quartz sand, which will make you feel refreshed. Beijing Honghua International Golf Club is located in the Asian Games Village, Chaoyang District Beiyuan Road, the course is planned to cover a total area of ??135 hectares. It was designed by Nick Faldo, a six-time Grand Slam winner and former world golf champion. The design and construction level is world championship level. Faldo has previously designed three golf courses in southern China. Honghua is the first golf course he designed in the north and is also his signature golf course - Nick Faldo Stadium.
Since the terrain in Beijing is very flat, Honghua specially created the concept of a mountain course and transported 2.5 million cubic meters of earth for modeling, so that golfers can experience the world's top hilly courses in the city. Challenging and exciting. In addition to the typical Fedo style shown in the combination of greens and bunkers, the tee box of the course abandons the traditional oval shape and adopts a classic square design that is very rare in China. The bunkers are all made of white quartz sand, which not only makes golfers It feels refreshing and will give the entire stadium a classic and noble aura of kings. The greatest pleasure of Honghua comes from the green. The three-layered green has a distinctive flowing skirt. Among the 18 fairways of the Honghua Stadium, Nick Faldo has a special liking for the 15th fairway and specially made it his signature fairway - Faldo fairway area: 1,200 acres. The 1st Hole, 417 yards, PAR 4, is a moderately difficult opening hole in Course A. The fairway is straight and flat when viewed from the teeing area. There is a pond near the tee box, which does not affect the shot. Players do not need to be fooled by the large tree ahead, which can be ignored when teeing off. But the bunker located on the left side of the landing area should not be underestimated. The green is slightly raised, with a slope down the back and a bunker guarding the front left.
The 2nd Hole, 545 yards, PAR 5, is the first par 5 hole in the tournament and the most difficult hole on the front nine. The fairway winds like a snake, with two turns from left to right along a large pond on the left before reaching the green. The landing area for the second shot is quite narrowly squeezed by a pond, which tempts strong players to hit the green directly in two shots. However, in the event of a short shot, the pond and bunker on the left front of the flatter green will pose a great threat.
The 3rd hole, 453 yards, PAR 4, is a mysterious left dogleg hole. The tee shot requires sufficient distance and accuracy to overtake or avoid the bunkers on both sides of the fairway. If the first tee shot lands on a slope, you have a greater chance of hitting the green with the second shot. The first shot to the green is downhill, so the target looks further away than it actually is. The green is undulating, and if the landing point is not good, it will not be easy to put the hole in two.
The 4th hole, 188 yards, PAR 3, is the first par-3 hole in the tournament and is occupied by a large lake. The water on the left extends from the tee to the green. The green surface slopes toward the water hazard, leaving very little room for error in the landing area. There is a bunker guarding the left rear of the green, waiting for the foolhardy to fall into the trap. Hole 5, 557 yards, PAR 5, is a dogleg left hole with a big corner and multiple sets of bunkers scattered on both sides of the fairway. A decent tee shot will leave a long approach to the green. If you hit it directly, you have a better chance of hitting the ball in two strokes. Moreover, the trees on the left turn of the fairway are still immature, so the ball has a high chance of going over directly. When attacking the green with the second shot, you must pay attention to the left side. The bunker guarding the green is extremely dangerous. If a player is trapped in it, he can only see the hole flag.
The 6th hole, 429 yards, PAR 4, is a beautiful par-4 hole with an idyllic scenery. The straight fairway is surrounded by large ponds on the right side. The first landing spot is narrowly squeezed by water hazards and bunkers. In front of the green, there is a creek branched from a pond that meanders through. If the second shot is unfortunately short, you will fall into it.
Hole 7, 367 yards, PAR 4, a short par-4 hole with a double fairway design, is a good opportunity for players to score. The peninsula-shaped green is very distinctive, but because it is surrounded by water on three sides, the first stroke of the green requires extreme accuracy. You don’t have to hit the tee shot too hard, you can strategically hit it short and let the ball fall on the left fairway, which not only reduces the threat of water hazards, but also increases the success rate of attacking the green. The two deep bunkers on the back side of the green should not be underestimated.
The 8th Hole 211 yards PAR 3 A unique par-3 hole, the actual distance is longer than it appears. There is a large pond guarded on the left. But it is not difficult to avoid water hazards. In addition to increasing the confidence of hitting the green with one shot, there is still a sufficient safety buffer zone on the right side. It is a wise choice to hit the ball to the right side of this hole, because the left side of the green is not only close to the water, but also guarded by a very deep and huge bunker. If you fall into it and don't have superb bunker skills, a few extra strokes will be inevitable.
The 9th hole, 446 yards, PAR 4, is a long par 4 hole to end the first half. The fairway is long and straight, and usually accurate two shots can reach the green smoothly, but the bunkers on both sides of the fairway cannot be ignored. The difficulty of this hole is the quite undulating green, with three very obvious steps. Complicated long putts will add stress to the golfer if the ball does not land on the same level as the hole.
The 10th Hole, 402 yards, PAR 4, is a slightly dog-leg starting hole on Course B. The tee shot should be to the left to avoid the bunkers and ponds on the right. The green is long and undulating, and the entrance is extremely narrow guarded by two huge bunkers.
The 11th hole, 596 yards, PAR 5, is the longest par-5 hole in the game. It is a good opportunity for players to show off their driving skills. This hole is also the most difficult hole in the second half. Driving distance is very important. The landing area in front of the green on the right side is narrow and there is a pond on the right side, which makes it more difficult to hit the green with one shot.
The 12th hole, 158 yards, PAR 3, is the shortest par-3 hole and is a dogleg right hole at nearly 90 degrees. The long green is relatively flat and is supported by a huge pebble base nearly 4 meters high. The tee shot requires crossing the water, which seems difficult, but as long as you master the direction and distance, you can make birdies.
The 13th hole, 458 yards PAR 4, requires a strong and precise drive to get the ball over the pond in front of the tee, and to avoid the bunker on the left and land on the fairway, which is the second shot. Preparing for the green. The long, narrow green is guarded by bunkers in front and behind it.
The 14th hole, 533 yards, PAR 5, is a challenging par 5 hole. The view from the tee is wide, giving players the illusion that this is an easy hole to tackle. When I walked to the landing area, I discovered that there was a pond on the left extending to the green, and a series of large and small bunkers on the right. Attacking the green with one shot becomes dangerous, so you need to be very careful.
The 15th hole, 422 yards, is the most distinctive hole in PAR 4. It is also the proud work of designer Nick Fedo, who designated it as his signature hole. The bunker on the right side of the fairway is eye-catching and extends for more than 150 yards. The fairway is winding and narrow due to bunkers on both sides. There's another set of bunkers on the front left of the green, but there's a large safe area on the right for landing the ball. The elevated green has a steep slope behind it, and the ball will fall into the water after hitting it.
The 16th hole, 191 yards, PAR 3, is the last par-3 hole in the field. The sloping green is located directly in front, with bunkers on the left and right. The setting of the hole location is the main factor affecting the difficulty.
The 17th hole, 365 yards, PAR 4, is the shortest par-4 hole in the entire golf course. It has a slight right dogleg and is the best opportunity to catch birdies and eagles. Most professional players will choose to hit the green directly. Although the fairway is short, the fort-style green and the undulating bunkers in front are extremely threatening. Accuracy in hitting the ball is necessary, otherwise hitting it long or short will put the player in trouble.
The 18th hole, 465 yards, PAR 4, is the last hole of the course. The straighter fairway becomes narrower as it approaches the green. The distance of the tee shot is very important, as it affects whether you can hit a solid and effective green approach shot. The water hazard on the left extends from the tee shot landing area to the back of the green. Any shot left is likely to go into the water.
