KSC North is a well designed Gary Player golf course. Very challenging from the back tees. Highlights would be the difficult and lengthy par 4 9th and 10th holes, the par 5 1st and 12th and some spectacular views like the par 3 14th. No carts are allowed on this course and it is a challenging walk for anyone who is not fit and healthy. Generally if you are off the second cut of rough you are in think jungle. So accuracy is very important to score well. Thankfully the greens have been renovated and are in far better condition than they were in 2014 and 2015. They are not overly fast but now roll true. Unfortunately the rest of the course is in average condition. This is due to 1. wild boars that damage the fairways 2. local players who never fill divots or rake bunkers 3. the sheer volume of traffic. The course marshalls will be on your back if you are 2 minutes late, even if you are waiting on every hole for the group in front. At over $100 USD a round it is on the expensive side compared to public courses in the US, UK and Australia. However, being the only public course in HK, there is no competition. If the course was in good condition I would rate it 4 stars
