Designed by eighteen-time major champion Jack Nicklaus, this critically regarded course bears the name of the 41st World Cup of Golf, which it held in 1995. Finished in 1994, it’s the first course in China to receive US PGA accreditation for major professional events. Tiger Woods and Greg Norman are only two of the finest players in history to have played on the course. Mission Hills’ World Cup course is regarded as one of Asia’s greatest golfing experiences. It has won numerous international honors and was named “one of the ten most significant and influential courses of the last 20 years” by authoritative US golf publication LINKS.
The par-4 third hole features a 150-yard beach bunker designed by three-time major champion Vijay Singh, and the par-5 10th hole features a green complex that is practically perched atop a rock wall. Singh masterfully drew inspiration for the course from well-known designs all over the world, including Pebble Beach, which is why both low- and high-handicappers love it.
