Location & Accessibility
Mission Hills Resort sits in Longhua District, Shenzhen, surrounded by the buzzing city yet tucked in a lush green area. It’s super easy to reach: jump on the high-speed train to Shenzhen North Station, then a 15-minute taxi ride gets you there.

Nature & Golf Heaven

Think palm-tree lined fairways (hello, Asia!), rolling hills (Europe vibes), and even desert-themed bunkers (hello, Africa!). Even if you’re not into swinging clubs, the sprawling greens and lakes make it a peaceful spot for strolls or picnics. Fun fact: Guinness World Records named it the largest golf club—talk about a hole-in-one destination!
