About Mission Hills Dongguan - Leadbetter Course

The Leadbetter Course at Mission Hills Dongguan is an 18-hole, par-72 layout measuring 7,155 yards. It was the first golf-course design credited to teaching professional David Leadbetter. His instructional background informed the concept: the course was intended to challenge players while giving them room to play, using generous fairways, elevated tees and several shorter par fours rather than relying solely on narrow landing zones.

Difficulty is added by large sand-flashed bunkers, uneven lies and demanding greens. Mission Hills lists 111 bunkers, average greens of 5,264 square feet and an average fairway width of about 44 yards. The stated design objective was to require a broad range of clubs and shots during a round, reflecting Leadbetter's background as a coach.

The course is an 18-hole resort golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,543m (7,155 yards). The course was designed by David Leadbetter. It is semi-private, welcoming both members and visitors. On-site facilities include Clubhouse, Practice facilities, Golf carts, Caddies, Golf shop, Dining.

Design Philosophy

Leadbetter translated an instructor's perspective into the routing. Generous landing areas and elevated tees make the course playable, but uneven fairways, large bunkers and challenging greens require varied shot-making. Mission Hills says the layout was designed to make players use every club in the bag.
