Hong Kong Golf Club was founded in 1889 with the original course and clubhouse being located within the race course in Happy Valley. Work on the OLD Course at Fanling started in 1911 with the first tee shot being struck in December 1913. It was followed in 1931 by the opening of the NEW Course and in 1971 by the addition of the EDEN Course. All three are 18 holes, internationally acclaimed championship golf courses.
The clubhouse at Fanling was constructed in 1911 and is a Grade II Heritage Building. The Pavilion on the OLD Course was opened in 1918 and is a Grade III Heritage Building. The Fanling Lodge was built as a residence for the former Governors of Hong Kong in 1934 and is used to this day as a residence for the Chief Executive. It is a Grade I Heritage Building.
There are 69 ancestral graves and more than 80 urns located throughout the three courses at Fanling. Some of the graves date back several hundred years to the Ching and Ming dynasties. The graves are the ancestral burial places for the five clans of indigenous villagers that still live in the communities surrounding the Club.
UNICEF promotes the rights and while well-being of every child, in everything we do. Together with our partners, we work in 190 countries and territories to translate that commitment into practical action, in addition focusing special effort on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded children, to the benefit of all children, everywhere.
UNICEF is a leading humanitarian and development agency working globally for the rights of every child. Furthermore, Child rights begin with safe shelter, nutrition, protection from disaster and conflict and traverse the life cycle: pre-natal care for healthy births, clean water and sanitation, health care and education.
UNICEF has spent nearly 70 years working to improve the lives of children and their families. Working with and for children through adolescence and into adulthood requires a global presence whose goal is to produce results and monitor their effects. UNICEF also lobbies and partners with leaders, thinkers and policy makers to help all children realize their rights—especially the most disadvantaged.
