Sanya Forest Valley Golf Club

Overview: Sanya Forest Valley Golf Club is a mountain-oriented 18-hole course in the wider Sanya golf destination. The current scorecard lists par 72 and 6,903 yards from the gold tees, while the Sanya government guide credits ATDL with the design. The course moves through a greener, more elevated landscape than the open beach routings, so the visual experience is shaped by forested slopes, changing lies and the need to judge elevation as carefully as distance.

History: Forest Valley opened in 2009 and was included by the Sanya government among the city's established golf venues. The official city guide groups it with courses from Yalong Bay to Haitang Bay and the foothills around Baoting, showing how the course fits into the region's broader golf-tourism network. No more detailed construction history is published in the sources reviewed.

Did You Know? The gold scorecard adds up to 6,903 yards with two par-36 nines. That makes the mountain setting the main source of difficulty rather than an extreme scorecard length. A player who treats every hole as a sea-level yardage problem can quickly choose the wrong club.
