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.
