Origins

The Olazabal Course was created as José María Olazábal's first signature design and as a layout capable of staging major international professional events.

Design Philosophy

Olazábal sought to combine tournament length with alternative strategic routes. His own reputation for bunker play is reflected in the extraordinary quantity and scale of sand hazards, while undulating fairways and natural streams complicate positioning.

Recognition

Mission Hills has described the course as a best-course-in-Asia award recipient. Its international profile was established through three consecutive Omega Mission Hills World Cups and the 2012 WGC-HSBC Champions.

Today

The Olazabal remains one of Mission Hills Dongguan's principal tournament courses, playing to 7,320 yards and par 72.
