Mission Hills Golf Club - Dongguan

The Annika Course at Mission Hills Golf Club in Dongguan represents one of the signature designs at what has been recognized as one of the world's largest golf facility complexes. Designed by Annika Sorenstam, the ten-time major champion and member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, this course reflects her playing philosophy and understanding of shot values developed during her competitive career. Mission Hills Dongguan opened in the mid-1990s and eventually grew to encompass twelve courses designed by prominent figures from the professional game and architecture world. The Annika Course occupies terrain characteristic of the Dongguan region in Guangdong Province, where the subtropical climate and rolling topography provide natural movement for golf holes. Sorenstam's design approach emphasizes strategic options from the tee and rewards precision over pure distance, consistent with her own playing style. The routing incorporates elevation changes and water features that require thoughtful club selection and course management. Mission Hills Dongguan has hosted professional tournaments and serves as a destination facility with extensive practice areas, clubhouse amenities, and accommodation options. The property attracts both domestic Chinese golfers and international visitors exploring golf in southern China. The Annika Course operates alongside the other layouts at the complex, offering variety within a single golf resort environment. The course provides a playing experience shaped by one of women's golf's most accomplished competitors, translated into design principles accessible to a range of skill levels.
