Mission Hills Golf Club has been recognised as the “World’s Largest Golf Club” by the Guinness World Records for the fifth year running.
Magical Mission Hills boasts 12 premier 18 hole courses designed by many of the greatest golfers and course architects from five continents.
In May 2004, after an unprecedented feat of engineering that saw five courses built within 16 months, Mission Hills officially surpassed eight-course Pinehurst for the coveted title of “World’s Largest” when its 10th layout opened.
In the summer of 2007, an additional two courses – the Pete Dye and Zhang Lian Wei – were completed to bring the club’s grand total to 12.
Located 30 minutes from Hong Kong, Mission Hills also features courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman and Nick Faldo, among others.
“It took Pinehurst nearly 100 years to construct eight courses,” says Tenniel Chu, Executive Director, Mission Hills GC. “Our ability to build 12 in less than 15 years is a stunning achievement and indicative of our sincere belief in China as the breeding ground for golf’s next generation of champions.”
Mission Hills is not only about golf, however, as it has rapidly developed into Asia’s premier sports and lifestyle destination resort. The club’s other outstanding amenities include three world-class spas featuring an array of treatment options; a 317-room, five-star hotel; a wide variety of restaurants offering succulent cuisine from around the globe and golf academies with renowned instructors David Leadbetter and Cindy Reid. Oh, nearly forgot, the venue also boasts the world’s largest clubhouse!
Added Chu. “There isn’t a club in the world that combines our exotic locale, variety of golf, luxurious accommodations, rejuvenating spas and delectable menu options.”
