4 Best Golf Courses in Hong Kong (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Vespera Quill, Expert in Local Experiences and Cultural Analysis · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

Land is the scarcest thing in Hong Kong, and that scarcity shapes every golf course in Hong Kong on this page, from a ferry-only public course on an island in Sai Kung to members-only clubs on Hong Kong Island. Ratings run tight, between 4.3 and 4.5, but the real split is access: some of these welcome walk-ins with a green fee, others need a member's invitation.

Short answer: The Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club is the top-rated full course on this page (4.5 stars across 795 reviews), while The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course is Hong Kong's best-known public option, reachable only by a dedicated ferry from Sai Kung, with green fees reviewers put around HK$800 at private clubs and roughly HK$220-290 at Kau Sai Chau on weekends.

The Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club Hong Kong

4.5795 Google reviews

The Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club is a private club in the New Territories overlooking the South China Sea, with a clubhouse, pool and playground alongside its golf facilities. It's a members' club, so outside access is limited, but reviewers describe the course itself as challenging for golfers of all skill levels with strong upkeep. It's regularly named among Hong Kong's most scenic layouts.

What people praise

Ocean views reviewers repeatedly call breathtaking
Well-maintained, challenging course condition praised by regular players
Attentive, professional staff across the clubhouse and pro shop
Recently renovated pool and family facilities

Worth knowing

Membership required for most access, so it's not a walk-up option
A couple of reviewers say the clubhouse dining could use an upgrade

Our take: The top-rated golf course here and a genuine coastal standout, if you can get in through a member. Worth the effort for the setting alone.

The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course

4.4903 Google reviews

The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course sits on an island off Sai Kung, reachable only by a dedicated ferry, and it's the course most Hong Kong golfers without a club membership actually play. It runs both North and South 18-hole layouts plus a driving range, and reviewers describe booking green-fee slots through the club's own online system. No membership is needed, just advance booking and a handicap card for the 18-hole rounds.

What people praise

Genuinely public, no membership required to book a round
Scenic setting reachable by a short, dedicated ferry from Sai Kung pier
Reviewers call it one of the most difficult and rewarding public tests in the city
Combo packages bundle golf practice, ferry and a buffet dinner

Worth knowing

Rounds can run five hours or more due to slow play, per multiple reviewers
Only reachable by ferry, so it takes real planning to get there

Our take: The course to book if you want to actually play golf in Hong Kong without a club membership. Build extra time into your day for the ferry and the pace of play.

The Hong Kong Golf Club

4.3794 Google reviews

The Hong Kong Golf Club sits at Deep Water Bay on Hong Kong Island, combining a golf course with clubhouse dining and event space. Reviewers who've visited as members' guests describe a walking course (no carts) with a compact 9-hole layout that can be played twice with different tee positions for an 18-hole round. Visitor access runs through advance phone booking with a handicap card required.

What people praise

Convenient Hong Kong Island location at Deep Water Bay
Clubhouse dining and events get strong praise from guests
Reviewers describe the club atmosphere as welcoming despite its exclusivity
Caddie service available for an additional fee

Worth knowing

Visitors need advance phone booking, a handicap card, and often a member's invitation
The compact 9-hole layout means less variety than an 18-hole purpose course

Our take: A historic, well-located club best experienced as a member's guest, with clubhouse dining reviewers praise almost as much as the golf itself.

The Hong Kong Country Club

4.4542 Google reviews

The Hong Kong Country Club, founded in 1961 at Deep Water Bay, is a private members' club that pairs its golf facilities with a pool, bowling alley and tennis courts, positioning itself as a multi-generational family club rather than a golf-only destination. Reviewers describe multiple dining rooms, including a French-inspired Grill Room and a Chinese restaurant, the Island Room. Like the other private clubs on this page, access runs through membership or a member invitation.

What people praise

Broad amenities beyond golf: pool, bowling, tennis courts
Seaside setting with strong views from the grill room and playground area
Multiple dining venues get consistent praise from guests
Friendly, attentive staff called out across several reviews

Worth knowing

One reviewer felt the Indian menu wasn't fully authentic
Private membership access, not open to walk-in visitors

Our take: A strong pick for a family day that happens to include golf, thanks to the pool and other amenities. Expect it to work like the other private clubs here: guest access through a member.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the club’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, ranked against other golf venues in Hong Kong. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.5 built on hundreds of reviews carries more weight than one from a handful. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does golf cost in Hong Kong? (2026)

Cost depends heavily on whether you’re playing a public course or getting a member’s invitation to a private club. Based on figures reviewers reported directly:

Job	Typical price
Kau Sai Chau green fee, weekend combo package	HK$220 - 290
Kau Sai Chau club hire	HK$25 per day plus HK$100 deposit
Hong Kong Golf Club green fee (guest)	HK$800
Hong Kong Golf Club caddie service	HK$350

Ranges compiled August 2026 from figures reviewers reported directly in their Google reviews of Kau Sai Chau and the Hong Kong Golf Club. Private club access and pricing depend on membership terms, so confirm current rates and guest policy directly with each club.

Playing across Hong Kong

The courses above span the New Territories (Clear Water Bay, Sai Kung’s Kau Sai Chau) and Hong Kong Island (Deep Water Bay, Admiralty). Searching for golf near me in Hong Kong? Every listing shows a live phone number and directions, and Kau Sai Chau’s ferry schedule runs on a fixed timetable from Sai Kung pier, so plan your trip around it.

What to ask before you book a round in Hong Kong

Is the course open to the public, or does it require a member’s invitation?
What documents do I need to bring, such as a handicap card or HKID?
Is a caddie or buggy included, or an extra charge?
How far in advance do I need to book a tee time?
Is transport, like Kau Sai Chau’s ferry, included in the green fee or booked separately?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these golf courses?

We started from golf venues in Hong Kong with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Is there a public golf course in Hong Kong?

The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course is Hong Kong’s main public option, no membership needed, though it’s reachable only by a dedicated ferry from Sai Kung pier and requires advance booking.

Can visitors play at Hong Kong’s private golf clubs?

Clubs like The Hong Kong Golf Club and The Hong Kong Country Club generally require a member’s invitation or sponsorship for visitor access, along with advance booking and a handicap card.

The bottom line

If you don’t have a member to get you into a private club, Kau Sai Chau is the realistic way to actually play golf in Hong Kong, just build the ferry and the slow pace of play into your day. If you do have an invitation, Clearwater Bay’s coastal setting is the standout on this page.
