Posted by admin | Recreation and Sports | Saturday 31 October 2009 9:18 am

The Hong Kong golf industry has clearly become increasingly popular over the last decade. Golfing in Hong Kong is excellent though due to the excellent quality of the facilities and grounds at the various Hong Kong golf clubs. Any tourists visiting that enjoy playing golf should definitely consider visiting one of the local golf clubs.

Hong Kong golf courses have become a very popular golf venue for Japanese golf players. One of the reasons for the increase in the number of Japanese golfers visiting Hong Kong is that there has been an increase in the number of daily flights between Hong Kong and Japan and the cost of flight tickets has decreased sharply.

The cheaper flights are mainly due to the increasing number of airlines that fly the route between Hong Kong and Japan. The Hong Kong golf courses are much appreciated and admired by Japanese golf players for the high quality of facilities provided to golfers. However the main reason for Japanese golfers to go play golf in Hong Kong is the availability and the very low fees of the clubs.

Green fees in Japan are extremely expensive and even getting a time slot to play can be a difficult if not impossible task. It is frequently cheaper and easier for Japanese golf players to fly down to Hong Kong for a round of golf then to play a round of golf back home.

The number of golf venues has recently expanded with the arrival of two new golf courses. The two recently opened golf clubs are located in the New Territories at Sai Kung and Kau Sai Chau.
