The Pebble Beach of Asia

Olympic and reigning UBS Hong Kong Open champion Justin Rose praises Clearwater Bay ahead of PGA Tour China event

Seaside splendour: The Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club

Olympic champion Justin Rose called The Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club ‘the Pebble Beach of Asia’ as he spoke about what PGA Tour China Series players could expect at the inaugural Clearwater Bay Open from November 3-6.

The popular Englishman visited Clearwater Bay in 2011 to participate in a corporate event and recently recalled his impressions of one of Asia-Pacific’s most spectacular courses.

“Clearwater Bay is right on the ocean and it’s kind of like the Pebble Beach of Asia. The views are dramatic,” said Rose, in reference to the legendary Pebble Beach Golf Links layout in California that has hosted five US Opens, a PGA Championship and the PGA TOUR’s annual Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
