Lava Fields is an 18-hole, par-72 course at Mission Hills Haikou measuring 7,475 yards. Designed by Brian Curley and Schmidt-Curley Design, it uses the site's exposed volcanic geology as the dominant architectural feature. Compared with the resort's Blackstone Course, Lava Fields has substantially less tree cover, leaving broad views across black rock and sand.
Wide fairways are shaped to create alternative angles into the greens, while large irregular waste bunkers and closely mown chipping areas provide much of the strategic definition. Mission Hills lists an average fairway width of 50 yards, average green size of 6,103 square feet and 43 bunkers. The course was designed with sufficient length and scale for tournament golf.
The course is an 18-hole resort golf course. It plays to par 72, 6,835m (7,475 yards). Designed by Brian Curley and Schmidt & Curley and Lee Schmidt, the course originally opened in 2010. It is open to resort guests. On-site facilities include Clubhouse, Golf Shop, Practice Facilities, Golf Academy, Club Rental, Locker Rooms, Restaurants, Resort Accommodation, and 7 more.
Lava Fields formed part of the ten-course Mission Hills Haikou development designed and built by Schmidt-Curley on Hainan's volcanic terrain.
The design deliberately leaves the lava and sand visually dominant. Broad fairways create multiple approach angles, while rugged waste bunkers and closely mown green surrounds provide strategic options.
Schmidt-Curley records Golf Magazine naming Lava Fields the world's best new international course in 2011 and Golf World ranking it 93rd globally that year.
Lava Fields remains a 7,475-yard par-72 course within Mission Hills Haikou.
