Hsin-Yi Golf Club, located in Dashu District, Kaohsiung City, is nestled near the renowned Fo Guang Shan Monastery and E-Da World. It stands as a premier championship-grade golf course, a significant landmark in Southern Taiwan. Covering an expansive 1.8 million square meters, the course features beautiful undulating terrain. Its fairways are laid out like an unfolding maple leaf, offering not only a vast panoramic view but also an impressive and grand layout. Since its operation, Hsin-Yi Golf Club, with its excellent course conditions and highly challenging long fairways, has consistently been selected as the designated venue for numerous major domestic and international professional tournaments. For example, the 2019 Taiwan Women's Open, reinstated by the Chinese Taipei Golf Association, was grandly held here.
The fairways are lined with trees such as large-leaf mahogany, blackboard trees, pine trees, and coconut trees, creating a magnificent landscape full of the tropical charm of Southern Taiwan. The most distinguishing feature of Hsin-Yi Golf Club is its "fairway length," which is unmatched across Taiwan. With its unique double-green design, the total length can extend up to 7,600 yards. Although the fairways here are very wide, their length combined with significant uphill and downhill variations presents a considerable challenge to golfers' physical endurance and their ability to hit long drives with woods. To achieve a good score here, the precision of long irons and fairway woods is absolutely crucial.
Among them, the most famous eighth hole (par five) is one of the most difficult and representative holes on the entire course. This hole is an uphill dogleg right, stretching over six hundred yards. Coupled with the constantly climbing terrain, the actual playing distance feels even longer, making it a classic long hole that severely tests a golfer's power and endurance. Hsin-Yi Golf Club is not only a paradise for long hitters; its meticulously maintained greens and well-designed flow ensure that golfers of all skill levels can enjoy the pure pleasure of challenging themselves and conquering distance in the sport of golf.
