Members pay an entrance fee of about HK$400,000 (S$68,000) and some have been vocal in their opposition to the redevelopment plan, citing ecological, commercial and social reasons to make their case.
Nobody working class is missing out on their golf because of this.
Beijing directly exhorted local officials to fix the problems in the aftermath of the mass protests that rocked the city in 2019, demanding that Hong Kong get rid of so-called cage homes or subdivided apartments by 2049.
Based Beijing.
The decision to build on the golf course also reflects how old business elites in Hong Kong are losing political sway as more staunchly pro-Beijing loyalists gain ground.
When Beijing’s top official for the city visited it in April, he did not meet the real estate developers association, which represents some of the richest families, raising questions over whether the interests of the wealthy clans are even a major concern to the top leadership.
Mr Zeman argued that shrinking the golf course hits at the heart of the way business is done in the city. “A lot of deals are done on the golf course all over the world for business people,” he said.
Fuck off back to your offices and make your deals there you fucking ghouls.

Golf and it’s consequences have been disastrous for the human race.
…but jokes aside fuck golf!!! I will never understand the appeal of that “sport”. My grandparents used to watch it on TV religiously and It blows my mind.
If there is one flaw in this beautiful story, it’s that they aren’t reclaiming enough to prevent people from playing golf there entirely
This made me look up whether Xi golfs, and I found this gem from CNN in 2017:
Xi, an avid soccer fan, isn’t known to be a golfer – and he’s been waging a war on the sport in his country.
Since he came to power nearly five years ago, Xi’s government has shut down scores of golf courses across China and effectively banned the 88 million members of the ruling Communist Party from playing.
There is hope yethe’s prolly lying about being a soccer fan, i bet he just hates golf
china men’s soccer still garbage
what club do you think Xi supports? I bet he’s like a Brighton or Dortmund hipster
Death to America
To be a real hipster, he’d support St.Pauli.
and effectively banned the 88 million members of the ruling Communist Party from playing.
Banned them? How?
Tbh CNN probably made that up, but idk. It would be a good idea tho
Lmao the business ghouls have zero case and the angry British vacationers can kick rocks
Here’s the course, by the way. It’s about a mile long. It has three 18-hole courses.
It should be noted that this isn’t in the city of Hong Kong, it’s in the relatively less developed north end of the Special Administrative Region, just south of Shenzhen. About a fifth of the course is going to be repossessed, I don’t know whether that’s of the whole thing or just one of the courses.
FUCK. GOLF.
FUCK. GRASS. IT HAS NO ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE.
HOUSE THE PEOPLE.
No Dirt Owl, you’re supposed to just touch the grass, not fuck it!
Too late I have grass babies now deal with it
Can you please babysit? I hate kids
grass is alright but native grass and let it grow long and wavy
First they came for the golf courses, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a golf course.unfathomably based
Death to America
Meanwhile Denmark is building a new island for the rich and the speculants. It’s gonna fuck everything up and there’s no reason to do it. They need to build a new road to support all the trucks delivering polluted dirth thats to be dumped into the ocean. This isdespite everybody being against it AND it being illegal. We just got cod back into the baltic
I wanna move to Beijing.I see you tankies are cheering on another genocide against a minority group in China. This is erasure of millionaire and billionaire culture, and you Russian CCP whataboutism bots are cheering for it!
siiiiiigh… tommy need drinky
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
Compromise idea: Build 18 buildings roughly in the footprint of the greens of each hole, and put the golf course on top. Golfers can either take 2 elevators between holes, or walk a tightrope.
Remove the elevator option and make sure it’s in a windy location and I’m sold.
See what you did? Now they’re putting a zipline on the rooftop island hopping golf course.
Oh no, oh fuck, you made me want to play golf.
It’s okay as long as it uses native and hardy grasses, and you don’t burn fossil fuels.
That would be fucking sick and golfers would probably fly in from all over just to try it.
hell this would probably get me to play golf and I hate golf
g*lfers are the absolute last group of people we should be compromising with
Death to America
Golfers cannot retain their character wothout golf carts. If they lug their gear and hike from hole to hole, especially up and down stairs, it loses some of its bourgeois character.
fuck golf carts also. get rid of everything related to golf
Death to America
Can’t have golf carts without golf
but you CAN have golf without golf carts
I have a better compromise plan
Only golf that is permitted after the revolution will be a driving range with current country club members “playing” as targets
They still get to play the “sport” they love, vocation becomes vacation and so on
Yeah, they must be yearning for freedom right now.
Please President Biden, my billionaires yearn for golf courses.
