SHADOW DUNES COURSE With an almost desert-like feel, Shadow Dunes Course is full of wild lush vegetation, native to the beautiful beaches of Hainan Island. In fact, the course lies in some of the largest greens at Mission Hills Haikou! Not only do the magnificent sand dunes cut through the landscape, but also dramatically fall and rise above the fairway level. STONE QUARRY COURSE Inspired by the unique mind of master golf course designer Pete Dye, this 18 hole course is an exhilarating, wild-ride adventure. Stone Quarry is set on an interesting rock quarry and railroad theme – incorporating coal cars, railroad tracks, and abandoned mining equipment! Overall, Dye’s distinctive style demands accuracy and skill over brute strength. THE PRESERVE COURSE This charming, player-friendly course focuses on exquisite landscaping design. Not to mention the sculpted bunkering and the beautiful flowering shrubs that line the sweeping fairways, which all adds to The Preserve's appeal. Tall, majestic palm trees pierce the skyline and lay swaying patterns of shade on this 18 hole, modern, and arboretum style course. THE VINTAGE COURSE An elegant fusion of striking geometric shapes and a flowing natural landscape attribute to The Vintage Course’s quirky yet traditional feel. Inspired by the ‘Golden Age’ of golf courses, this vintage- style course is a satisfying refreshment from the many modern layouts that are prevalent in golf today. 42 Destination Golf .TRAVEL
