This is a hillside course built along valleys. Many holes border mountains,
so you can enjoy dynamic play. Natural creeks often meander through the
course and the strategic nature of the course will make you use every
club in your bag. The layout is similar to the Leadbetter Course of the
same Mission Hills GC.
Scorecard
|
|
A straight par 4 with a creek along the left.
The second shot is over the creek onto the elevated green. |
|
|
|
A long par 3. The green is protected by bunkers and trees on the right. |
|
|
A sharp dogleg to the right, downhill par 5. The tee shot should
be accurate to avoid hitting into the mountain or trees. The second shot
is a gentle downhill, so long hitters can reach the green in 2. The second
shot area slope steeply to the right. |
|
|
|
|
A slightly uphill, short par 3 to hit toward to a mountain. A creek runs
along the left side of the green, making right to left players more difficult.
|
|
|
A dogleg to the right, relatively short par 4. It plays into a spectacular
backdrop of towering mountains. The mountains on both sides come into play
off the tee. Fairway as well as greenside bunkers are strategically placed.
|
|
|
An almost straight par 5. The tee shot is downhill. The second
shot is over a creek. 3 bunkers in front of the green are in play. Long
hitters can reach the green in 2. |

The course is one of 5 that were completed in Dungguan in 2003 and 2004.
A hotel is located next to the clubhouse. It takes 20 minutes from Mission
Hills in Shenzhen by a shuttle bus.
To play from the black tees, the longest tees, you need to show a starter
a handicap certificate of 7 or below.

Mission Hills GC is the world’s biggest golf
complex with 10 courses or 180 holes as of 2004, overtaking the huge Pinehurst
resort in North Carolina, which has eight 18-hole courses. The picture shows
the 10 designers who are all world-famous players or a teaching pro. The
10 courses are designed by Jack
Nicklaus, Vijay
Singh, Nick
Faldo, Jumbo
Ozaki, Ernie
Els, Annika
Sorenstam, Rose & Poulter, Jose
Maria Olazabal, David
Leadbetter and Greg
Norman. The two couses were added in 2007, Pete Dye Course and Zhang
Lian Wei Couse (Par 3s course), so the club currently holds 12 curses or
216 holes.
