Haikou Mission Hills

 
Mission Hills Group — impetus for China’s golf boom and owner and operator of the world’s two largest golf properties — announces the accolades continue for its Blackstone Course at Mission Hills ▪ Hainan, host of the recent Mission Hills Star Trophy celebrity pro-am.
 
GOLF Magazine’s January issue names the par-73, 7,808-yard layout 2010’s "Best New" Asian design. This marked the first time courses in the Pacific Rim were ranked on the annual list, evidencing golf’s continuing shift of power to the East.
 
Designed by 25-year industry veteran Brian Curley, Blackstone is a 350-acre core golf course set on a dense bed of lava rock. It weaves through a striking landscape of mature trees; thick, jungle vegetation; and expansive lakes and wetlands. Wild, irregular bunker edges and transitional sand areas harmoniously converge with volcanic outcroppings framing many holes. Featuring no rough, the hard-line edges associated with most golf courses are non-existent.
 
The Blackstone recently welcomed Hollywood stars like Catherine Zeta-Jones, Matthew McConaughey, Christian Slater and Hugh Grant for Asia’s first international celebrity pro-am golf tournament, the Mission Hills Star Trophy.
 
"It’s a beautiful track, says McConaughey. "Long, manicured, none of the holes were tricky, every hole was playable, and the greens were beautiful."
Adds Zeta-Jones: "You really have to see Mission Hills to believe it. With the facilities, if you’re a golfer, this is heaven."
 
Located on tropical Hainan Island, the world’s hottest spot for luxury development, Mission Hills ▪ Hainan is only 15 minutes from Haikou Meilan International Airport. It features 10 golf courses skillfully routed through the striking volcanic landscape, 518 tastefully-appointed guest rooms and suites, 12 world-class restaurants, Hainan’s only aquatic theme park, therapeutic natural mineral springs, a spa oasis and more.
