Spring City Golf and Lake Resort - China
Spring City Golf and Lake Resort is situated some 30 miles east of Kunming
City, the capital of Yunnan Province. The resort is
home to courses designed by Jack Nicklaus and Robert
Trent Jones, Jr. Jones's Lake Course stair steps
around the lake, echoing the neatly stacked ledges
of agricultural fields that climb the slopes of the Yunnan
hills. The area's attractions include the Buddhist
Yuantong and Bamboo Temples, a mythical Stone
Forest, Lake Dianchi, and the East and West Temple Pagodas.
Mission Hills Golf Club - China
Mission Hills Golf Club & Resort is located just a
few miles from Shenzen in Guangdong Province and
offers a sumptuous golf feast of ten courses
designed by Jack Nicklaus, Vijay Singh, Nick
Faldo, Jumbo Ozaki, Ernie Els, Annika Sorenstam,
David Duval, Jose Maria Olazabal, David Lead better,
and Greg Norman. The granddaddy of them all is the
Nicklaus Course, which hosted the 1995 World Cup won
by the U.S. team of Fred Couples and Davis Love III.
With 10 different
courses, Mission Hills can rightfully boast that it
is the world's largest golf resort. The courses are
varied, with an island green at the Faldo Stadium
Course, the ziggurat tee boxes of the Ozaki Canyon
Course, and the lush, riverine look of Els's
Savannah Course among the many features. The hotel
has 228 rooms overlooking the golf courses.
