[1/2] Miguel Angel Jimenez from Spain hits a shot on the 18th fairway during the final day of the Hong Kong Open Championship at the Hong Kong Golf Club in Hong Kong, China November 18, 2012.
The rare measure drew criticism from NGOs who questioned whether the golf course would be redeveloped as planned by 2029.
Three of these courses are in the Fanling golf course located close to the border with mainland China.
"If you see the aggressiveness of the branding by other countries, Hong Kong is really under the gun.
"The (Hong Kong) government absolutely should not allow populism and antagonism against the wealthy to spread," Tong said.
