Golfing in Mission Hills China With CGE Golf — Must-Play Destination for Australian Players

For golfers considering an international golf holiday, few destinations match the scale, variety, and experience of Mission Hills in China. This isn’t just a golf resort but a bucket-list golf experience that feels more like an immersive, luxury golf theme park. Stretching across two iconic complexes in Shenzhen and Haikou, Mission Hills holds the Guinness World Record for the largest golf facility ever assembled.

But beyond the record-breaking size, what truly makes Mission Hills stand out? And more importantly, is it the right choice for Australian golfers?

This guide breaks down exactly why Mission Hills China deserves a place at the top of your golf travel list.

A Record-Breaking Golf Playground in Asia

Golfers often speak of must-play golf destinations in Asia, and few can rival Mission Hills’ sheer scale and diversity. Mission Hills is not a single golf course—it’s a multi-resort golf destination featuring:

     ▪️ 22 championship courses designed by the game’s most celebrated architects such as Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Greg Norman

     ▪️ Dramatically varied landscapes, from wind-swept coastal dunes and volcanic terrain to tropical rainforest and manicured parkland

     ▪️ A three-week course rotation that lets you play a unique layout every day without repetition

Unlike traditional golf resorts, Mission Hills delivers constant variety, which is one of the biggest reasons golfers choose it over other destinations.
