What is the total
surface area of Blue Canyon Country Club? -
Approximately 1,800 rai, 720 acres, 2913.7 square
kilometres or 291.4 hectares.
What are the
differences between the Canyon and the Lakes? -
Differences between the Canyon and the Lakes, aside from
the number of water hazards, are:
1. The nature of fairways
& greens - very much faster and very true on the
Canyon, but much wider on the Lakes.
2. All elements
into play - each hole will be unique in different
seasons; when strong winds strike on the open Lakes, you
will have a tough time keeping your ball in place. Your
drives will be very much shorter, and possibly a little
off target.
3. The roughs - deadly on the
Canyon, though you may still be able to salvage your
game at the Lakes, if the winds and waters don't get
your ball first.

Which
course is more difficult - the Canyon or the Lakes?
- On the Canyon Course, most
fairways are undulating. On some holes, you
even have to drive uphill which requires more power (and
control). Do not believe what your eyes tell you. The
layouts sometimes trick your eyes and you
would unexpectedly miss the shot. At the Lakes, 17 out
of 18 holes feature water hazards which are hard to
avoid. Your putting skills are put to test on
its sizeable greens.
