Heshan at Heshan Golf & Country Club

Heshan Golf & Country Club occupies land in the Jiangmen region of Guangdong Province, roughly an hour's drive west of the provincial capital Guangzhou. The course was designed by Jack Nicklaus, adding to his portfolio of layouts across mainland China developed during the country's golf expansion in the 1990s and 2000s. The Jiangmen area sits in the Pearl River Delta, a landscape characterized by low hills, waterways, and subtropical vegetation that provides a lush backdrop for golf.

The Nicklaus design at Heshan reflects his characteristic strategic approach, with generous landing areas balanced by hazards positioned to challenge better players who attempt aggressive lines. Water features and bunker complexes frame many holes, and the routing takes advantage of the property's natural elevation changes to create variety in shot requirements. The course serves both local members and visitors exploring golf options in the Guangdong region, which has become one of China's most golf-dense areas.

Heshan functions as a country club facility, offering dining and social amenities alongside the golf course. The club caters to a membership base drawn from Jiangmen and surrounding cities in the delta, part of the broader trend of golf development that accompanied economic growth in southern China. While not among the most internationally recognized Nicklaus designs, Heshan provides a full-length championship test in a region where golf has become an established recreational pursuit.
