So recently I’ve been getting into golf. My friends and I live in Taipei, but we’ve been taking the HSR down to Hsinchu to play courses down there, generally from around 2500-3000nt each for a round. It’s pretty hard to find decent information in English about gold courses in the area, does anyone k…

Oh, there’s driving ranges all over the city, you can see the netting miles off. Pitch and putt is a different beast, it’s a short golf course made up of par 3s, I’ve tried googling different things with 高爾夫, but I haven’t really had much luck and my Chinese is patchy at best.

I’ve only ever played golf here in Taiwan, so I’m not sure I can comment too much here, but I’ll do my best. Carts and caddies do seem to be mandatory, at least they are for us, I’ve occasionally seem people out on the course without them but they must have a special arrangement I guess? Saying that…

Thanks. Sounds like the courses try to keep you honest. Sound like the city courses back in the states. Unforgiving fairways and either super slow, or super fast greens are, pardon the pun, par for the course. Overall, sounds like it is worth a shot.
