14th Hole, East Course, The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau
366 yards, Par-4
Six years on since the Nelson & Haworth-designed East Course opened and the signature 14th still strikes fear into all that play it. But it shouldn’t be that way. The cliff-top fairway certainly should be wide enough to accommodate a less-than-perfect drive but as is so often the case, it’s the effect on the mind that makes this short but stunning par-4 so intimidating. Miss left and you have no chance; spray it right and you may as well delve into your bag for another ball. Caramba.
