Peter Dye Course
Mission Hills Golf Club - Shenzhen
About this course
The Peter Dye Course at Mission Hills Golf Club in Shenzhen represents one of Pete Dye's contributions to what became the world's largest golf facility. Mission Hills developed its sprawling complex across the Shenzhen-Dongguan border beginning in the 1990s, eventually encompassing twelve courses designed by prominent architects. Dye's layout here showcases his characteristic design vocabulary adapted to the subtropical terrain of southern China's Pearl River Delta region. The course occupies rolling terrain that Dye shaped with his signature strategic elements: railroad ties, pot bunkers, island greens, and forced carries over water hazards. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes while incorporating the dramatic visual features that define Dye's work worldwide. Players encounter risk-reward scenarios throughout, with multiple teeing grounds allowing different levels of challenge depending on skill and courage. Mission Hills Shenzhen gained international attention when it hosted the Omega Mission Hills World Cup in 2007, 2011, and 2013, bringing professional golf's team competition to China. The facility's scale and ambition reflect the rapid development of golf in China during the early 21st century, when the country saw significant course construction before regulatory changes slowed new development. The complex includes extensive practice facilities, multiple clubhouses, and accommodations that serve both members and resort guests visiting the greater Shenzhen metropolitan area.
