Empire Hotel & Country Club

The Empire Hotel and Country Club was named Asia's leading golf resort in the 2004 World Travel Awards, thanks to the top class facilities and the famous Empire Course which hugs the South China Sea. It has also stamped its mark on the Asian Tour being voted the Host Venue of the Year in 2005.

The par-71 Jack Nicklaus designed Empire course has incorporated the coast as the main viewpoint with the front nine and back nine both overlooking the South China Sea. Iron play will be the key in producing a solid round especially with the well-bunkered holes throughout the course.
