The China Open was held at the Suzhou Jinji Lake Golf Club in China, but now takes place at the Luxehills International Country Club during April each year. It is co-sanctioned by the European Tour and is run by the China Golf Association.
The par 72 course was established in 1995 and it has tended to be won by the lesser lights of golf during that time, and there is often plenty of value to be found in the odds when placing your ante-post bet. So it's worth looking out for those ante-post favourites and those with experience of the course when considering the odds and where to place your ante-post bet.
The event offers a prize fund of $2.5 million though and could start to become more popular with the big names from the Race To Dubai. The Race To Dubai itself will be in full swing at this stage and it will be worth checking out the latest betting opportunities as it always offers good value for the punter as Europe's best go head-to-head.
