THE ULTIMATE golfing getaway takes place this October, as the inaugural Melbourne Football Club End of Season Tour hits Mission Hills, China’s highest-rating golf and leisure resort.

Club greats David Schwarz and Russell Robertson will play host to a group of supporters on a seven day, fully inclusive tour, featuring five-star accommodation at the world famous Shenzhen/Dongguan resort and five rounds of golf on some of the greatest courses in the world, including signature layouts designed by Greg Norman, Ernie Els and Nick Faldo.

Established in 1992, Mission Hills is the world’s largest golf club, featuring twelve 18-hole championship courses, all individually designed by golf personalities from around the world. Committed to developing golf in the region, the complex has now hosted more than 100 international tournaments since its inception and is a regular destination for political figures, world business leaders and the best golfers in the world. As a keen golfer, Robertson is already looking forward to the adventure.

“Mission Hills is the mecca for golfers, not only in Asia, but across the world,” Robertson said.

“The history of this golf club is renowned and to think we will have a chance to grace the same courses as some of the top golfers in the world – it’s certainly something I’m looking forward to come October.

““The accommodation and facilities on offer are top notch and I can’t wait to experience everything Mission Hills has to offer with our tour group – it really is shaping up as a fantastic getaway.”

Evolving into a world class leisure destination, Mission Hills offers a wide range of first class facilities away from the fairways for golfers and non-golfers alike. Award winning spa and wellness services, shopping and international fine dining are all part of the experience. Guests will also have the opportunity to experience the Cantonese delights of Guangzhou, China’s third largest city, to end this once in a lifetime trip.
