Sprawled alongside Lake Yang Zong Hai, this course provides a stimulating and invigorating golfing experience. As the course steps down to the lake in a series of terraces and palisades, it is breathtaking and challenging at the same time. The Signature Hole 8, par 3 is deceptively simple from the tee but the positioning is unforgiving and challenging. " Spring City is a golfing experience that capitalizes on the existing features of the property while taking advantage of the other elements - such as the dramatic view, changes in elevation and the expansive nature of the site"- Robert Trent Jones Jr.
