Mission Hills Golf Club

Mission Hills Shenzhen is a twelve-course 18-hole course golf resort, located in the town of Guanlan in Shenzhen, between the cities of Shenzhen and Dongguan. It is accredited as the world's largest golf facility by the Guinness World Records in 2004, with a size of 40 km2 (4, 000 ha), surpassing the Pinehurst Resort in the United States. It currently has 11 championship courses and an 18-hole par three course, each designed by a different golf personality. Ken Chu, also known as "Mr. Golf" in China, is the chairman and CEO for Mission Hills Group. From 2007 through 2009, Mission Hills hosted the Omega Mission Hills World Cup. Scotland won the 2007 event, followed by Sweden in 2008 and Italy in 2009. The contract ran for 12 years; however, Mission Hills' Shenzhen resort no longer hosted the event. The event's organizer, the International Federation of PGA Tours, announced in 2010 that the World Cup would become a biennial event held in odd-numbered years. When the World Cup resumed in 2011, the tournament moved to another property owned by the Mission Hills company, Mission Hills Haikou, located on Hainan Island, a tournament won by the United States.
