THE FAM 9 …
NOT LONG TO DEPARTURE !
Well not long to go now before 9 very excited golf club managers depart on their CGE escorted Familiarisation tour to the outstanding 10 course Mission Hills Haikou complex and the 2 course Sheraton / Dunes resort at Shenzhou , Hainan Island , China . It ’ s been all go since the 6 managers from Victoria , 2 from South Australia and 1 from Western Australia , were selected for this special opportunity , some having to organise new passports and then everyone needing Chinese visas . We at CGE Golf worked with the group to ensure they had the necessary flights booked , that the visa process was efficient and trouble free and that they had as much background information as possible about the resorts , transfer arrangements , golf courses , weather , money exchange and more .
The 2 resorts are ready with the 5 star accommodation booked . Tee times arranged on Mission Hills Stone Quarry and the sensational Blackstone which was the venue for the great Woods-McIlroy challenge , followed by 2 rounds on the Dunes West course at Shenzhou . We will tour the East course as it will be closed for renovations thus giving everyone the chance to take in all the stunning holes on both courses , especially those that run along the beaches of the South China Sea . Welcome dinners will give the group an opportunity to discuss Reciprocal agreements with Mission Hills as well gain some history of both venues and their courses . The group arrives in Haikou on the 10 th September for 3 nights at Mission
Hills followed by 3 nights at the Sheraton / Dunes complex , departing Haikou on the 16 th .
Anthony White , GM Kooringal Golf Club , commented … The upcoming trip to experience the ‘ Family ’ golf trip to China has been made so easy by CGE Golf .
Kevin and his team have made the detailed process and preparation seamless . They have allowed us to prepare ourselves and our clubs for a fantastic opportunity to connect with the Mission Hills Golf and Resorts .
We look forward to sharing our experience with other managers at the GMA National Conference .
Rachel Kane , Manager at Anglesea Golf club added ... Kevin has been wonderful in organising everything that needs to be done to the point of being accused of babysitting us !
Kevin ’ s personal approach is terrific and is always quick to respond to any query or concern I might have .
It all adds to the anticipation of what should be a great China Golf Experience .
