Overview
Located on the south side of Hainan Island, a mere 60 minutes by high speed train from Haikou, the 36hole Dunes at Shenzhou Peninsula golf
complex was fashioned by Tom Weiskopf and his design associate Phil Smith.
The two 18hole courses – West and East – were developed by CITIC Pacific Limited on a rather featureless tract of land that was formerly used as
an old watermelon plantation and both layouts opened within a couple years of each other.
The West (/golfcourse/dunesatshenzhoupeninsulawest) was first to be unveiled in 2010 and it seems to have garnered all the ranking plaudits
since then, totally overshadowing its slightly younger stablemate. Frankly, this is rather a strange situation considering thirteen of the holes on the East
are brought into play when a composite layout is used for competition.
It’s a pity that holes 7 to 11 on the East are excluded when the holes are amalgamated to form the 18hole composite course because the long par
three 10th,with a very large, tripletiered putting surface, is one of the best holes on the property.
Another memorable hole arrives a little later at the 547yard 16th, which literally touches the South China Sea. Here, a strategic split level fairway on
the par five leads to a green on a small peninsula that falls off steeply onto the sandy beach.
