RSGC and HKGC have enjoyed a long-standing reciprocal relationship, initially formalised in 1968 by former RSGC Secretary Vincent Yong. This agreement, updated in January 2013, has strengthened the ties between the two clubs. Notably, the relationship pre-dates HKGC’s name change in 1996 from The Royal Hong Kong Golf Club to Hong Kong Golf Club, reflecting the enduring bond between both clubs.
