Forest City Classic Golf Course is the second international standard 18-hole golf course owned by Forest City. It is a three-dimensional garden view incorporating the golf course design concept. Adhering to the design concept of transforming nature and returning to nature, it is a breakthrough in the traditional design concepts. The contour is ingeniously outlined and adjusted on a flat swamp. The various slopes on the fairway create a masterpiece of undulating, three-dimensional, beautiful scenery. The lakes and mountains vary along the walk, as if the player is swinging in the painting.
