 hina – Mission Hills Haikou C (Lava Fields) Opening in 2010, The Lava Fields Course at Mission Hills Haikou is part of the enormous and extraordinary Mission Hills complex in China which spans 22 golf courses across two locations, making it the largest golf facility in the world. Located on the tropical tourism island of Hainan, Mission Hills Haikou is home to 10 of those courses, all public, including the award-winning Lava Fields Course.

A paradise for golfers and non-golfers alike, the 22-square- kilometer luxury Haikou resort also offers nine more championship courses, 168 volcanic mineral springs (making it the world's largest mineral springs resort), five-star hotels by Ritz Carlton, Renaissance and Hard Rock, Mission Hills movie town, China's first Wet'n'Wild water park, China's first PGA of America golf academy, 240,000 square meters of shopping and entertainment at Mission Hills Centreville, a 20-pitch soccer training base, Asia's largest indoor basketball school and world- first visitor attractions by FC Barcelona and NBA. www3.missionhillschina.com/en-US/haikou/golf 15
