Heshan Golf Club ☆ Follow

Located in Gonghe Town of Heshan, Jiangmen, Heshan Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 championship course spanning 7,264 yards. Designed by the American firm Nicklaus Design, the 1,600-acre property is situated in the hinterland of the Pearl River Delta, approximately an hour's drive from major cities like Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhongshan, and Zhuhai. The course is built on a hilly terrain, with fairways winding through native pine and acacia trees and integrating natural reservoirs. The layout is characterized by its mountainous style and undulating topography. Greens are described as having a "chip" shape with significant elevation changes and varying slopes, demanding high precision and stability from players. The turf throughout the tees, fairways, and greens consists of pure American Coastal Bermuda grass, maintained to create fast and challenging green speeds. The course features several notable signature holes that test different aspects of a golfer's game. The 5th hole, a par-4, offers birdie opportunities but requires a precise drive over right-side bunkers to secure an excellent angle for the approach shot; the left side is considered safer but leaves a more difficult second shot due to a severe back-to-front slope and a large bunker on the left. The 15th hole is a dramatic par-5 that plays uphill from the lowest point of the course to a summit green, featuring a large pot bunker on the right that guards the approach. The 18th hole, a par-4, serves as a visually striking and highly challenging finisher that demands exacting accuracy on the approach shot.
