3rd Hole, Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club
402 yards, Par-4
Hong Kong’s answer to Pebble Beach, Clearwater Bay is home to any number of breathtaking holes, but it’s the third, a meaty par-4 of over 400 yards that plays out onto a peninsula jutting out into the South China Sea, that earns the plaudits in terms of both beauty and fear. A perfect drive is one that flies over rocks, crashing surf and bunkers to the left side of the fairway, which gives the optimal line to the well-protected green. Fours are to be cherished but just seeing your ball finish up on dry land is something to be savoured in itself.
