Sino Golf and Country Club sits in Zengcheng, a district northeast of Guangzhou in Guangdong Province, where the Pearl River Delta transitions into rolling terrain. The course was designed through a collaboration between Richard Davidson and Muta Yasumori, bringing together Western and Japanese design sensibilities in a region that saw significant golf development during China's economic expansion in the 1990s and early 2000s. The layout takes advantage of the area's natural topography, which offers more movement and elevation change than the flatter delta lands closer to the coast. This setting allows for varied hole corridors and strategic interest derived from changes in elevation and sightlines. The design reflects influences from both architects' backgrounds, with attention to visual presentation and course conditioning standards common to high-end facilities in the region. Sino Golf and Country Club serves primarily a membership drawn from Guangzhou's business community, positioned among several courses in the Zengcheng area that cater to the city's golfers seeking retreat from urban density. The club includes amenities typical of full-service country clubs in southern China, with dining facilities that reflect Cantonese culinary traditions. The course represents the era of international design collaboration that characterized golf development in Guangdong during a period when the province established itself as one of China's most active golf markets.
