The Preserve Course ☆ Follow

The Preserve Course at Mission Hills Haikou is a 18-hole championship layout measuring 6,535 yards from the back tees with a par of 70. Designed with a modern aesthetic, the course emphasizes user-friendly playability while maintaining strategic integrity. The layout features wide fairways averaging 42 yards in width, which guide players toward greens complexes characterized by perimeter mounding that flows into the putting surfaces. The course is defined by its extensive landscaping, which serves as a backbone for the design. Dense palm plantings provide shade and relief from the sun, while vivid flowering shrubs and ground covers create a dominant visual image throughout the round. Sculpted bunkering punctuates the fairways, adding strategic challenge to the otherwise open layout. With 117 bunkers in total and an average green size of 5,662 square feet (526 square meters), the course balances generous landing areas with precise approach shots. Located within the Mission Hills Haikou resort in Hainan, the course offers a distinct tropical setting that differentiates it from the resort's other layouts. The modern design philosophy prioritizes a smooth playing experience, utilizing the abundant vegetation to frame the holes and provide visual interest. The combination of wide fairways and strategically placed hazards makes the course accessible to a range of skill levels while still offering sufficient challenge for competitive play.
