Golf at Discovery Bay Golf Club (Since 1983), one of Southeast Asia’s premier golfing destinations & Hong Kong’s Family-Friendly Golf Oasis! A private course (member-only) with challenging fairways and panoramic views of Discovery Bay and the South China Sea. Discovery Bay Golf Club is known for its family-friendly atmosphere and accessible golf within a planned community setting.
Designed by renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., Discovery Bay Golf Club offers three 9-hole courses with ocean views: Diamond Course (Par 36, 3,485 yards), Jade Course (Par 36, 3,501 yards), and Ruby Course (Par 36, 3,482 yards). These courses can be played in various combinations, creating a flexible and unique 18-hole layout every time. It is perfect for beginners, juniors, or a relaxed round.
The Diamond Course, with its dramatic elevation changes and quickly sloping greens, is regarded as the most challenging layout among the three. The Ruby Course is less difficult off the tee and has incredible views from its lofty elevations. The Jade Course, unlike the previous two, features more water and more challenging dogleg holes.
Nestled on Lantau Island, this casual gem is only 10 minutes from Hong Kong Disneyland, and 20 minutes from Hong Kong International Airport, and a 25-minute drive from the Central financial district. Ideal for travelers seeking laid-back play amid mountain and sea vistas, or families mixing golf with theme park fun.
Why Discovery Bay Golf Club?
1.Advantages: Lantau Peak and South China Sea backdrops on every hole. An escape from the busy city. Discovery Bay Golf Club is located about 20 km from Hong Kong Airport and only about 10 km from Hong Kong Disneyland, so it is very convenient for you to travel.
2.Hosted Championships: The club has hosted several prestigious local and regional tournaments, including Hong Kong Golf Association events and corporate championships. Junior golf clinics and corporate charity events; no pro tournaments due to its short layout.
3.Disadvantages: Ferry or transportation is needed to access Discovery Bay from other parts of Hong Kong. Not for pros: Par-3 only, limited to 130-yard max holes. Green Fees are relatively high compared to public courses in Hong Kong. Undulating fairways and slopes may pose challenges for less experienced players.
