The Shanghai Sun Island Golf Course occupies an island of 150 hectares, 4,000 metres in length and 700 metres in width. It is located in the middle of the Huangpu River and joined to the right bank by a bridge. It takes 40 minutes to an hour to reach the golf course by car from Shanghai. The original name of Sun Island is Mao Island. Sun Island's human habitation could be traced archaeologically to some 5,000 years. Vestiges of the past were long lost except the Mao Pagoda. This eminent Mao Pagoda, built in the Tang Dynasty, is the landmark of Sun Island, tall and conspicuous, antiquity amidst modernity. It can only bring goodness and good fortune to those who gaze upon it. Shanghai Sun Island comprises two 18-hole courses, the Old Course and the New Course. Both are the popular type of “target” golf courses, which are generally flat and manicured tastefully. The challenges come from the abundance of water hazards in various shapes and sizes and in the positioning of the numerous sand bunkers guarding approach shots. Because the layout of each hole is relatively straight and unobstructed, it is usually possible to see the pin from the tee. “Target” courses are easier to play well than link courses. Those who can hit hard, straight and accurate have a definite advantage as very little judgement of the elements is called for. It becomes tricky when there is a strong gale or golfing on a wet day. It becomes more difficult then to gauge the right strength or angle of play to get it just right.
