Dalian Golden Pebble Beach Golf Club

After breakfast drive around 1 hour to the Golden Pebble Beach Golf Course. The course offers two 18 hole courses, the Golden Eagle and the Divine Turtle Course, which is the seaside course. The seaside course is the one we recommend to play, a 7226 Yard Par 72, designed by US American Peter Thompson who was also in charge of Shanghais famous Lake Malaren Course. There are some altitude changes to master on the course and it actually starts relatively gentle and easy. Hole No. 3 is a downhill 180 Yards Par 3 protected by a dominant bunker. Hole No. 5 asks for some tactics, as there is around 60 Yards in front of the Green a large ravine, so either you go all out and hit the Green in two or you need to place your second shot before the ravine to reach the Green in Regulation. Hole No. 7 is the undisputed signature hole due to its spectacular layout. It is a very short 132 Yard Par 3, but the Green is located on top of a cliff with the sea on three sides. Add a 70 foot vertical drop from Tee to Pin, strong sea winds and a Green that slopes from front to back and you have one tricky Par 3. Choice of Club is critical, as you dont want to end up too short and a safety drive will end up in the rough behind the Green due to the slope. Choice of Club, skill and luck are essential here. Hole No. 11, a 437 Yard Par 4 requires again tactical skills. Your first shot needs to go far that you can see the Green and the second shot you can play at full risk or safe. Hole 13 and 14 are again very scenic and Hole 17 is probably one of the most difficult holes. The 475 Yards Par 5 is a dogleg left and features a steep cliff on the left and the end. Your second shot requires courage, skill and drive as you need to cover a steep valley to approach the Green. After the game, return to Dalian and visit the city center if you like or relax in the hotel.
