YOUR ITINERARY: 2024 Mission Hills Masters
Like all SGA Trips and Tours, this fully-hosted golf week will feature our unique brand of high-quality golf and "a really good vibe".
In essence, we've done the hard yards for you. All you need to do is have fun!
DAY 1 - Sunday, June 9, 2024
ARRIVAL AT HAINAN ISLAND
Arrive at Hainan Island via Melbourne/Sydney.
You will be picked-up at the airport and transfer to the Mission Hills Resort - Haikou.
That night, enjoy a Welcome Dinner, where you will meet your fellow travelers, and get prepared for a week of fun.
(Note: Depending on your flight arrangements/city, you can arrange for an earlier arrival date.)
Monday
Sandbelt Trails
Sandbelt Trails is patterned after the exceptionally strong courses of the Australian Sandbelt, including Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath. The course features large bunkers dominated by high sand flashes and crisp, thick lips that rise above fairway and green surfaces. Large greens feature plenty of movement and square tees add to the distinct look. The predominant tree is eucalyptus in keeping with the Australian inspirations. The gently rolling, sometimes flattish terrain has been capped with plenty of width to provide vast playing surface and alternative angles of attack from its sweeping fairways.
Inclusions: Breakfast
Tuesday
The Vintage
The Vintage is patterned after the classic courses built at the turn of the century. On one hand, there is a distinct natural feel to the layout with holes carefully routed on existing terrain leaving the heavily wooded site as undisturbed as possible. At the same time, much of the feature work utilizes odd, sometimes geometric shapes and quirky features that are distinctively old. Revered courses such as the National Golf Links, Fishers Island, Maidstone, Chicago Golf Club, and Garden City served as inspiration for creating a course that gives a distinct nod to the days of old. The natural terrain is frequently contrasted by striking, abrupt mounds, deep pots, square edges, ridges, blind shots, long and thin bunkers near both small and huge greens with wicker basket pins.
Inclusions: Breakfast.
Wednesday
REST DAY - Optional round at Stepping Stone OR Double Pin
Today, you can take this Rest Day to explore the resort, or the city of Haikou, and/or Hainan Island.
Or, if you want even more golf, you can play your choice of one of Mission-Hills' fun but challenging 18-hole Par-3 courses. Double Pin features two pins at each green, with one easier/more accessible location and one much more difficult. An arboretum-style landscape will provide an enjoyable atmosphere full of colorful trees and flowers. Stepping Stone (pictured) is a true pitch and putt course, featuring dramatic islands of turf surrounded by lava rock and large sand expanses. It is a beautiful, fun and quick round, with plenty of challenge throughout.
Inclusions: Breakfast.
Thursday
Lava Fields
Friday
Blackstone
Voted best championship course in Asia, this spectacular golf course hosted The Match at Mission Hills in 2013 with Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods. The course weaves through a striking landscape of mature trees, thick jungle vegetation, and expansive lakes and wetlands. The dominating site characteristic is the bed of lava rock, which has been incorporated as an integral element. Adding to the look are wild, irregular bunker edges and transitional sand edges that effortlessly work into native lava rock. In addition, there is only a fairway cut (no rough, not even at bunker faces). The naturally rolling terrain sees dramatic elevation change and great care was taken to find as many natural holes as possible.
That night, enjoy a Closing Presentation Dinner, where you can share your week's golfing highlights with your new-found friends and travellers.
Saturday
TRAVEL DAY
Check-out and transfer to the airport for your flight home.
Inclusions: Breakfast.

SGA's Matthew Pitt and Sheri Yu recently visited the course, and we can confirm that it is MINT. SGA's Mick David has proclaimed it as "the best course I have ever seen". So you know you'll be in for a treat with this extension.
