COVER STORY Olazabal Course will be the permanent home of the OMEGA Mission Hills World Cup through 2018. In addition, Mission Hills has firmly entrenched itself as the epicenter of golf in China, one of the fastest growing markets in the world for the construction of new golf courses and grass roots growth of the game via junior golf programs. Mission Hills seeks to create ‘International Goodwill through Golf.’ The Club occupies over 4,500 acres of land (the size of five Central Parks) and boasts 12 signature courses designed by golf legends from five different continents: Jack Nicklaus, Pete Dye, Jose Maria Olazabal, Ernie Els, Nick Faldo, Zhang Lian Wei, David Leadbetter, Greg Norman, Jumbo Ozaki, Vijay Singh, Annika Sorenstam and David Duval. Each course is reflective of the designers' style, offering unique risk / reward challenges to the player. As a complete golf destination, the Club houses a five star hotel and world class spa and was voted Best Golf Resort in Asia by readers of Asian Golf Monthly in 2006 and Golf Resort of the Year in the Rest of the World category in 2005 by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO). In May 2004, the Club was accredited by the Guinness World RecordsTM as the World's Largest Golf Facility, making a name for itself in the world of premier golf through its exceptional ability to deliver an unsurpassed level of service excellence. What’s it like to play the Mission Hills 12? Want to get a feel for what it would be like to play courses at Mission Hills? Consider playing one of our Inland Empire’s spectacular and inspiring golf courses, such as Oak Quarry, Oak Valley, Hidden Valley, CrossCreek, SCPGA or Eagle Glen, to name a few. You just might get the sense of the challenge and exhilaration of what it’s like to play golf in China at Mission Hills, not to mention the similar picturesque quality of our Inland Empire courses. If you plan to visit the Hong Kong area, don’t miss the opportunity to play at Mission Hills. Just make sure you reserve your tee time at least two weeks in advance. Shenzhen, China is half an hour to an hour’s drive north of Hong Kong. Fees to play Mission Hills’ exclusive courses are a bit pricier than our upscale local courses. It’ll cost an average of $200 US depending on the exchange rate, but the fees are well worth the opportunity.
