About This Golf Course

Bringing sand to the city, the Shadow Dunes Course offers a striking environment shaped by towering sand dunes and native vegetation reminiscent of the vast beaches of Hainan Island. The layout blends natural sandy landscapes with bold contours to create a fun, visually dramatic playing experience.

Large undulating landforms feed into some of the biggest greens at Mission Hills Haikou. These wild putting surfaces can produce monstrous putts of prodigious length, rewarding creativity and touch over brute strength. Although not long at 6,600 yards from the tips and playing as a par 70, the course demands pin‑point accuracy in the short game.

With intimate green‑to‑tee connections and exceptionally walkable routing, Shadow Dunes is perfect for a quick, enjoyable round. Its combination of sandy waste areas, rolling contours, and expansive greens delivers a unique links‑inspired experience unlike any other course at the resort.
