Dunes at Shenzhou Peninsula Ranked in Top 10 New International Golf Courses

The U.S Golf magazine and Golf.com ranked The Dunes at Shenzhou Peninsula at the Third place among Top 10 New International Golf Courses this year. This is the first time that Asian golf courses were included in the best new course list on Golf and Golf.com.

"This gently contoured Tom Weiskopf design is built entirely on natural sand. Among the enticements are artfully sculpted bunkers and transition areas, boulder outcroppings and several memorable holes along the South China Sea, including the drivable par-4 15th and the rugged par-4 16th which hugs a wide, empty beach, with waves loudly lapping at the right side," described by the magazine.

With over 30-year golf course ranking history, U.S Golf magazine is the first publication that conducts the international best course evaluation. The Best Courses ranking was generated by worldwide golf travelers and has gained authority and reputation among the global golf rankings throughout the years.

"We are very surprised to be considered for any rankings as early as we have not yet fully opened The Dunes (West), but still feel extremely proud of this international recognition" said Mr. Steven Thielke, General Manager of The Dunes. "This award is just testament to the incredible vision of Tom Weiskopf and the hard work of the world-class golf team at The Dunes. The much awaited and much discussed The Dunes (East) and Composite Course (Championship Course) has already been grassed and will be ready to open in May 2011. These courses will no doubt take the golf world by storm."

The Dunes at Shenzhou Peninsula enjoys a gorgeous view of the sea, the course includes a championship golf course called the Composite Course which is designed within the 36 standard holes and five practice holes, all built on natural terrain with breathtaking views of the South China Sea. The course takes full advantage of the area's unique geography by harmoniously merging with the nearby seashore view. The golf course is also equipped with a stunning clubhouse, golf academy and other facilities that offer comprehensive service to members and visitors alike.
