Gold Coast Golf & Country Club

Gold Coast Golf & Country Club sits on the cliffs of Shimen Township along the north coast of Taiwan, making it one of the closest golf courses to the sea in the country. Formerly known as North Bay Golf & Country Club, it opened in 1992 and offers an 18-hole, par-72 layout measuring 7,006 yards, along with a practice range. The course is built on naturally undulating terrain, with rolling fairways that drop toward the Pacific Ocean. Several holes play directly facing the water, where the view stretches across the North Coast and down to the waves breaking below the cliffs. That proximity to the ocean is not just visual — errant shots toward the sea are a genuine risk, adding a sharp consequence to approach play. The combination of coastal exposure, elevation changes, and length makes Gold Coast Golf & Country Club a genuine test for golfers visiting New Taipei City.
