1. What is Mission Hills
Mission Hills, located at the border between Shenzhen's Longhua District and Dongguan, spans over 40 square kilometers and holds the Guinness World Record as the world's largest golf club. Since opening in 1994, it has hosted major global golf tournaments and serves as a comprehensive resort featuring sports, leisure, hotels, and shopping.
Even if you've never held a golf club, Mission Hills deserves a visit for its stunning landscapes, luxury spa facilities, and complete amenities. The 12 courses wind through mountains and around lakes with subtropical vegetation creating exceptional natural beauty — walking and photography alone are worthwhile.
2. The 12 Golf Courses Explained
Mission Hills' greatest pride — 12 championship courses each personally designed by 12 golfing legends. Every course has unique character and difficulty levels.
Signature Championship Courses
- Jack Nicklaus Course: Named after the "Golden Bear," Mission Hills' flagship course. Par 72, 7,102 yards, featuring multiple water hazards and sand bunkers. Suitable for intermediate-to-advanced players. Hosted world championship events.
- Vijay Singh Course: Named after the Fijian champion. Wide fairways but challenging greens requiring precision putting. Best views — multiple holes overlook the lake.
- Greg Norman Course: "The Great White Shark" design emphasizes strategic play. Narrow fairways with multi-angle water hazards — favorite of low-handicap players.
Ideal for Casual Players
- Annika Sorenstam Course: The only course designed by a female champion. Relatively friendly fairways and flat greens. Perfect for intermediate and women golfers.
- Jose Maria Olazabal Course: Spanish design with generous greens and high scoring tolerance. Ideal for enjoying the swing rather than chasing scores.
- Ernie Els Course: South Africa's "Big Easy" design features open fairways and large but predictable bunkers. Excellent introductory choice for first-time Mission Hills visitors.
Other Courses
Additional courses designed by Pete Dye, Nick Faldo, Jumbo Ozaki, David Leadbetter, David Duval, and Liang Wei Zhang, each with unique characteristics. With 216 holes requiring 12 days to complete at 18 holes daily, most visitors select 2–3 signature courses.
