Mission Hills Golf Club

Mission Hills Shenzhen is a twelve course 18-hole course golf resort, located in the town of Guanlan (觀瀾) in Shenzhen, between the cities of Shenzhen and Dongguan. It is accredited as the world's largest golf facility by the Guinness World Records in 2004, surpassing the Pinehurst Resort in the United States. It currently has 11 championship courses and an 18-hole par three course, each designed by a different golf personality. This Records will be short lived as the Nanshan Golf coures in Shandong north China has 279 holes and are applying to the "Guinness Book of Records" for this title.

From 2007 through 2009, Mission Hills hosted the Omega Mission Hills World Cup. The contract runs for 12 years; however, this specific resort will no longer host the event. The event's organizer, the International Federation of PGA Tours, announced in 2010 that the World Cup would become a biennial event held in odd-numbered years. When the World Cup resumes in 2011, the tournament will move to another property owned by the Mission Hills company, Mission Hills Haikou, located on Hainan Island.
