The theme of the Els Course is a lush backdrop of dense tree growth juxtaposed against wide swaths of manicured turf, thus evoking a “manicured garden” aesthetic reminiscent of Els’ South African homeland. Measuring more than 7,000 yards, the Els Course follows a unique “core” layout in which no two holes run parallel. The signature fourth hole features a tee box atop the highest point on the course, providing golfers with panoramic views of Mission Hills Golf Club and the surrounding region.

The Pete Dye Course at Mission Hills Shenzhen is the very first Dye designed course in China. Visit Mission Hills Shenzhen when you travel with Golf Tours Abroad.


Location: Shenzhen, China
Designer: Pete Dye
Distance: 6828 yards
Course Par: 72

Opened: 2016
Longest Hole: 611 yards
Shortest Hole: 106 yards
# of Bunkers: 178
Caddies: Yes – compulsory
Carts: Yes – compulsory


The Pete Dye Course is located at the Shenzhen section of Mission Hills and is the very first Dye design in China. It offers a marked departure from Mission Hills’ other 11 layouts, presenting the golfer with a unique look and feel. At just over 6,800 yards and playing to par 72, it is short by today’s standards yet requires creative and careful shot-making. Golfers encounter many elements long-associated with Dye Courses: small pot bunkers, long tee to green waste areas, railroad ties used as sleepers and walkway steps framed by tall, native grasses to provide a sharp, visual contrast. The greens are wildly undulating, especially on the numerous short par 4s.

Shangri-la Golf Course is part of the wonderful and luxurious 5-Star Shangri-la Resort & Spa on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. Set amid a vast coconut palm plantation within the resort, the course offers spectacular views and distinctive challenges for both casual and seasoned players. The beautiful and diverse landscape provides a memorable golf experience through three different topographical zones, each with its own unique character:

The Coconut Plantation – offering lush fairways and challenging bunkers.
The Dunes Area – with its subtle elevation changes gives you breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean.
The Sapphire Mine – showcasing generous greens with an abundance of water features

Because of the resort’s dedication to biodiversity and habitat conservation, the course development was approached from an eco-perspective by revitalising an abandoned sapphire mine. The end result was a glorious restoration of native vegetation, resurrection of local birdlife and an intelligent use of salt-tolerant turf & shrubs. The Clubhouse overlooks the 18th green which is a welcome haven for golfers at the end of their game. Located within the clubhouse is Ulpatha restaurant, which offers beer on tap, refreshing drinks from the island bar and delicious, pub-style light meals in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Refreshments are also available on the course, with all electric golf carts equipped with cooler boxes.  The Pro Shop is a haven for golf enthusiasts, with an array of golf essentials available for purchase, including caps, polos, shoes and sunglasses – as well as the latest equipment for hire.

Shangri-la Golf & Country Club features in our Sri Lanka Scenic golf holiday package. For further information on staying at the Shangri-la resort, visit our Shangri-la Resort & Spa Hambantota blog page for the inside running on the beautiful seaside resort.
