The World Cup Course is the original Jack Nicklaus-designed championship course at Mission Hills Shenzhen. Completed in 1994, it is an 18-hole par-72 parkland layout that Mission Hills currently lists at 7,294 yards. The course was named for the 41st World Cup of Golf, staged there in 1995; Mission Hills describes that event as China's first international golf tournament.
The club also states that the World Cup Course was the first course in China accredited by the US PGA for major professional competitions. Its design uses large flat-bottomed bunkers, water hazards and spectator mounding, with 87 bunkers listed on the current official course page. Brian Curley of Schmidt-Curley later carried out remodelling, although a precise date for that work was not verified.
