Growth of golf in China

I first travelled to China in 1995 and played golf just north of Hong Kong. At that time I believe there were 8 – 10 courses in the country. The following article is quite remarkable. I witnessed 5 courses (90 holes) under construction at Mission Hills at the same time 7 years ago…a sight you will rarely see anywhere in the world….except China. The Chinese are attracted by scale and size, and golf complexes are no different. Mission Hills is a sight to see…and this new development in Hainan apparently will top that!
