Taihu International Golf Course is an 18-hole, championship-level golf club located north of Taihu Lake and south of Jiangdung Mountain. The area is noted for especially dramatic topography and scenic vistas. To complement the golf course, the landscape design incorporates creeks, waterfalls, rockwork and pavilions in the local arcitectural style. The golf course fits seamlessly into the greater landscape by incorporating a wide variety of shrubs, grasses and large flowerbeds. Fruiting, flowering and foliage trees as well as waterplants surround the clubhouse. The mountains to the north are accented from the golf course by views framed by trees. Many strong visual connections to Taihu lake are created by planting trees and shrubs in specific arrangements and patterns. As a result, the planting plan design successfully integrates the entire golf club into the stunning surrounding landscape.
