Haikou Mission Hills Golf Club (Meadow Links)

Overview: Meadow Links is a 6,673-yard, par-70 course that borrows the visual language of traditional United States Open venues. Its fairway lines and geometric bunkers sit in a comparatively open meadow setting, with native grasses, occasional trees and large greens creating a wide but exacting target. The course is not long by modern championship standards, yet its grass-faced hazards and quick-looking putting surfaces reward players who choose an angle before they choose a club.

History: Meadow Links belongs to the ten-course Haikou commission led by Brian Curley; the official page frames it as an East Coast-inspired contrast to the volcanic courses. Mission Hills presents it as an East Coast-inspired course within the larger volcanic resort, giving the destination a different architectural voice from the lava-dominated layouts. The official page does not state a separate opening year.

Did You Know? The Church Pew bunkers are the clearest architectural reference. They create a long visual rhythm beside the playing corridors and give the course a distinctive identity even before the greens come into view. The same firm built all ten Haikou courses, but Meadow Links shows how much the setting and inspiration can change the result.
