Hainan Shenquan International Golf Club (Springs)

Overview: The Springs Course is the longer of the two 18-hole layouts at Hainan Shenquan International Golf Club, with current course information listing 7,442 yards and par 72. Nelson & Haworth's design moves through hilly terrain at the edge of the Haitang Bay resort area, using high viewpoints, water and changing fairway widths to make the round a test of distance control. The elevation gives the course its strongest visual character, with the bay and nearby island visible from upper ground.

History: Shenquan was developed as a 36-hole golf destination, and the two individual routings are identified as Mystic and Springs. The available golf travel material dates the development to 2011 and credits Nelson & Haworth. This profile keeps the Springs label intact because it refers to one of the facility's two distinct 18-hole courses.

Did You Know? The Springs Course is not simply the longer version of Mystic. The extra yardage changes the balance of the round, especially on long par fours and approaches played across higher terrain. The shared designer and setting connect the two courses, but Springs asks players to manage more distance while coping with the same elevation changes.
