MISSION HILLS GOLF EXTREME ITINERARY

2009 Dates to come. Register your interest.

Day 1: Saturday
A flight from Australia will have you arriving in Hong Kong around 6pm local time. You will be transferred to the centrally located Kimberley Hotel for a relaxing evening or the avid shoppers can get an early start. B/D

Day 2: Sunday
Following breakfast we travel from Hong Kong across the China border to Shenzhen. We will have a stop-over at the Lowu shopping complex to make any purchases of golf equipment and designer label copies. We will check-in at Mission Hills complex mid-afternoon before meeting for a Welcome Dinner. The sheer enormity of the accommodation, facilities and 180 golf holes will have you marvelling at the vision and construction feats achieved here. At Mission Hills you will enjoy a wide variety of world-class amenities and dining options along with exceptional service. Non-golfers can experience massage and beauty treatments at very reasonable prices at the Mission Hills Spa. B/D

Day 3: Monday
After an early breakfast we take to one of the many courses on offer at Mission Hills, "Faldo", not surprisingly designed by Nick Faldo. The Faldo course opened in early 1999 to great critical acclaim from the international media but has since become Asia's premier tournament venue. B/D

Day 4: Tuesday
Shenzhen is China's golfing capital and this morning the golfers will enjoy a round at one of Shenzhen's premier courses. I am sure you will be pleased with our selection. Non-golfers can indulge at Mission Hills in the spa or at the pool or take a transfer into Lowu for shopping. B/D

Day 5: Wednesday
After breakfast, today's challenge is the Vijay course. Vijay Singh, winner of the US Masters in 2000, gives us an insight into the excitement of tournament golf. This course skillfully incorporates the Pebble Beach 18 hole design which makes it the most spectacular in Asia. B/D

Day 6: Thursday
This morning we have a further look at Lowu and pick up any garments you have had prepared. Followed by a city tour including the Silk Market and Splendid China. It is here that you will see the largest and most elaborate miniature scenery parks in the world. Whilst rich and comprehensive, it is a lively replica of China, reflecting long-standing history, brilliant culture, art and ancient architecture. A spectacular theatre show to end the day will have you enthralled. B/L/D

Day 7: Friday
Golfers awake each day with great anticipation of the golfing challenge ahead. Today it is the "Leadbetter". Swing doctor to the world's best professionals, David Leadbetter was selcted to design his first ever course at Mission Hills, and what a beauty it is. It requires a true test of skill and will be an enjoyable challenge for all. B/D

Day 8: Saturday

Day 9: Sunday
An early morning round at another of Mission Hills courses Greg or Annika may feature on today's events. B/D

Day 10: Monday
After breakfast our final round at Mission Hills awaits. Tensions will mount as we have a seeded draw to determine the tour champions and much will be riding on the teams event.
