Mission Hills China is celebrating the staging of this week’s Open Championship in England by offering golfers the unique chance to play FIVE golf courses designed by FIVE Open Champions in FIVE days. Mission Hills Golf Club in southern China is officially the world’s largest golf club with 12 award-winning courses, each created by a signature designer, five of whom have won golf’s oldest Major, The Open. They include Jack Nicklaus (4 Opens), Sir Nick Faldo (3), Ernie Els (2), Greg Norman (2) and Women’s British Open winner, Annika Sorenstam.
The historic Nicklaus-designed course at Mission Hills in Shenzhen is named the World Cup Course having hosted the 41st World Cup of Golf in 1995, the first major international golf tournament to be hosted in China. Also in Shenzhen, the popular Faldo Course has hosted ten editions of the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final while the Els Course was named Best New Course in Asia following its opening in 2001.
On the Dongguan side of the 20-square-kilometre Mission Hills complex, the Norman Course has a reputation as one of the most challenging in Asia while the Annika Course was Sorenstam’s first design and the first by a female designer in the region.
The special five-day ‘Open Champions’ package tees off on 20 July 2017 – the same day as the first round of the 146th Open at Royal Birkdale Golf Club – and is available until 31 March 2018.
