The East-West Course at Xili Golf and Country Club represents a collaborative design effort by Robin Nelson, Rodney Wright, and Neil Haworth, situated in the rapidly developed Shenzhen area of Guangdong Province. The facility sits within the broader Xili Lake Resort complex in the Nanshan District, an area that has seen substantial golf development since China's economic opening. The course takes advantage of the region's rolling terrain and subtropical climate, with the design incorporating natural elevation changes and water features characteristic of southern Chinese golf landscapes. The routing reflects the collaborative nature of the design team, with Nelson bringing his Asia-Pacific experience, Wright contributing his technical expertise, and Haworth adding his international perspective. The course navigates through terrain that includes both open and tree-lined sections, with strategic bunkering and water hazards that require thoughtful club selection and course management. The layout accommodates players of varying skill levels while maintaining challenge through its use of topography and hazard placement. Xili Golf and Country Club serves both local membership and visiting golfers in the Shenzhen market, which has grown into one of China's major metropolitan areas adjacent to Hong Kong. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities typical of Chinese golf clubs catering to business and recreational players. The East-West Course operates alongside other layouts within the Xili complex, contributing to the area's concentration of golf facilities that emerged during China's golf development period in the 1990s and 2000s.
