Golf courses China - Sheshan International Golf Club
The Sheshan International Golf Club is riding the wave of golf’s popularity
in the region while also emphasising Shanghai’s status as a perfect blend of
tradition and modernity.
 The
18-hole championship course with a total length of 7140 yards utilises Bent
grass on the greens and Seashore Paspalun for the fairways, tees and rough
areas and its unique design offers deep valleys and rolling hills, combined
with a large amount of trees and large spans of water.
Nelson & Haworth have designed the course to be one of the most hilly and
forested golf courses in the Shanghai region and their concept called for
1.6 million cubic meters of earth to be brought in to create this unique
golfing environment.
Elevation changes of over 12 meters are found on several holes, with the
most dramatic being hole 8. The rolling hills of Sheshan will be covered
with both pine and deciduous trees and each hole will be separated by trees,
so players on adjacent fairways will not be able to see each other.
Water has been used throughout the golf course to enhance the aesthetic
beauty as well as aid irrigation. All the lakes are connected, allowing the
water to constantly flow.
Many of the holes either play along the existing canal, around manmade
lakes or over the spectacular 50-meter deep quarry, a unique feature of
Sheshan. In addition to the lakes, scenic landscaped streams add to the
mountain forest landscape image.
The most unique feature of Sheshan is the dramatic and intimidating
quarry. Two holes, 16 and 17 play around and over the quarry, giving the
golfer both an awe inspiring view while requiring great golf shots.
These two holes will not only be the signature holes of Shanghai Sheshan
Golf Club, but also of the whole Shanghai region.
