Hongqiao Golf Club & Driving Range (Shanghai)

 Upload a photo
A small 9-hole par 64 course. Not a par-3/executive but fairly short nonetheless. Nice bunkers, a reasonable amount of water. Fairways nice but greens slightly thin.

Place is odd, as there is the shell for big clubhouses at both the large driving range, and at the course itself, however construction on both has obviously been abandoned some time ago. Equally there are some villas in the adjoining and related residential complex that are abandoned half finished. Gives it a bit of a war-zone feel, like it was bombed out at some point. Rumor is that the owner is lacking not in money but lost permits or got some local officials angry or something and so cannot or will not finish it. Surprisingly decent little course though.
