We played the Pro-Am on Thursday, but it was in Texas Scramble format so we didn’t really play the course in its entirety. So we thought we’d might as well give it a go.   We had to catch our flight [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-the-vintage-course-3-mission-hills-resort-haikou-china/feed/ 0 http://birdiegolfblog.com/birdie-mission-hills-haikou-hainan-china/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/birdie-mission-hills-haikou-hainan-china/#comments Mon, 05 Mar 2012 12:00:49 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/?p=4202 Share|We almost couldn’t make it to the Stone Quarry Course at Mission Hills Resort in Haikou (Hainan, China). We were here to be the official starter for the inaugural World Ladies Championship (won by Feng Shan Shan). Last night was the Players’ Party hosted by Mission Hills and R was totally wasted. He could hardly [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/birdie-mission-hills-haikou-hainan-china/feed/ 0 http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-stone-quarry-course-7-mission-hills-resort-haikou-china/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-stone-quarry-course-7-mission-hills-resort-haikou-china/#comments Mon, 05 Mar 2012 10:00:19 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/?p=4207 Share|We weren’t very sober teeing it up on the Stone Quarry Course (course #7) at Mission Hills Resort in Haikou, China, but the 20 minute ride out (for courses 5 to 10) from the clubhouse made it a bit better. Note that the bus schedule is fixed and not very frequent so make sure you [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/review-stone-quarry-course-7-mission-hills-resort-haikou-china/feed/ 0 http://birdiegolfblog.com/island-green-birdie-mission-hills-china/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/island-green-birdie-mission-hills-china/#comments Tue, 07 Jun 2011 12:00:03 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/?p=3363 Share|It was a rough day. Two back to back quadruple bogeys meant that this was not a good round. Nevertheless, on the signature hole of the Faldo Course at Mission Hills, China, the magic finally arrived. This Par 3 island green with the flag at the front showed 102 yards on the rangefinder. The caddy [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/island-green-birdie-mission-hills-china/feed/ 0 http://birdiegolfblog.com/birdie-on-502-yard-par-5-mission-hills-china/ http://birdiegolfblog.com/birdie-on-502-yard-par-5-mission-hills-china/#comments Thu, 25 Nov 2010 12:00:11 +0000 birdie http://birdiegolfblog.com/?p=2828 Share|The 502 yard Par 5 on the 7th hole on the Duval Course at Mission Hills, China was one testing hole. The long downhill drive meant we could probably clear the bunkers on the right, but a sharp dogleg right turn meant that the landing area was too narrow for comfort. Nevertheless, a good whack [...]]]> http://birdiegolfblog.com/birdie-on-502-yard-par-5-mission-hills-china/feed/ 0
