The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course

The only public golf course in Hong Kong! Be prepared for a tee time war 1 week prior to your booking if you want to tee off in the morning. Register for your KSC Jockey Club account before booking for tee time online that opens 7 days in advance. Golf course is well maintained. Except some fairways are a little patchy - some players don’t fix their divots right away (hope we see more responsible players utilizing their portable divot fixing sand bottle). Greens are very well maintained. Sharing my experience as a non local golfer with HKID. Firstly you’d need a valid handicap card that you can get and pay for at GHIN. For the fees, its HKD990 for weekends/PH for 18 holes at the South course. I think it gets to about HKD1500 for non HKID holders. To rent clubs its HKD800 - you get different selection and its first come first serve. We got the pink G430 set! The fee actually comes with a golf cart. BUT since we do not have HK driving license, we can’t drive the carts. We had to drag out golf bags on push carts while the others were using golf carts (TBH this really slowed down the pace of play). You could rent an electric push cart for about HKD75 if i remember correctly but the lady at the front don’t recommend it for first timers. Locker room was kept in great and clean shape. Towels, soap, and hair dryer were provided. The only thing lacking was their weird SOP. I had left my bottle in the ferry on the way back to Sai Kung at 7pm. I called at 7.45pm and asked if I could send my bottle at Sai Kung once my ferry comes back to Sai Kung. They said they can’t. I had to go back to KSC to collect it. Mind you it was already 8pm and the ferry runs once every 30 mins. I had to catch a train that night and if I go back to KSC i have to spend an additional 1 hour just to go back and forth. Understand that they have standards to follow. But under circumstances like this i think exceptions could be made? So yeah i told them to just take my bottle for themselves as i won’t be coming back anytime soon. Ridiculous.

The only public course in HK and it’s a good one! No wonder it’s almost impossible to get on even with its 3 courses. The ferry ride over was quite scenic as well so that was a nice bonus. And the club house food was delicious. Played the North course and thought it was quite friendly till I hit #9 and #10. It got tough in blink of an eye. The 491yd par 4 to start your back nine really required some course knowledge. Even “playing smart” by laying up on second, your third wedge shot onto that green requires precision. Short is water. Long is haz area. Leave it left and pin high, ball would roll off the false front. Hit it right and short, you flirt with its high-lipped bunker…not to mention wedge + soft sand = buried lie. Yes that’s exactly what happened to me. A great round ruined by the double-par. Anyway, great course for sure. Not the easiest for most I’d think. Looking forward to checking out the East course next time…if we could get a tee time that is.

Nice place to play golf with great scenery. 40 minutes from Central via car, 20 minutes via ferry and 5 minutes bus transfer to the club. Private Pier for Ferry transfer is next to the public piers at Sai Kung town. Buggy on track only. There are chilled drinking water dispensers on the course so no worries about hydration. There is a restaurant and a sandwich kiosk if you need to buy food and drinks. All bookings via online 1 week in advance. Booking opens 9.30am. Usually heavily booked. East course is most scenic and challenging. North course is a walking only course. South course is great too. Good luck, have fun and enjoy.

Whilst the vistas are ok, green keeping and management could be better. Green keepers have no clue and happily keep on mowing and leaf blowing whilst you tee off. FnB is ok.the take away tuna sandwich is an absolute joke > see images

Fantastic public golf course on an island. Exceptional service that includes a drink, practice balls, and changing facilities. Good prices at the pro shop as it is run by the non for profit jockey club.

A bit far from Hong Kong Island, it offers 3 18-hole golf courses. There is also the possibility of lessons in group or private. There is a shop with golf gear, a small place to buy food and drinks as well as an actual restaurant. You have access to changing rooms and free lockers. The view is amazing and worth the trip.

Absolutely cracking public golf course. East is very challenging course, south a little more forgiving. Both are gorgeous. North course is also a beauty, but walking only... However renting a battery powered trolley is very cheap for your clubs. The restaurant is more of a canteen.. It could do with a little more refinement.

KSC is the only public golf club in Hong Kong. It has 3 courses and the East Course is the most scenic and most challenging.
