Mission Hills Group stands as a pioneering powerhouse in China’s hospitality, sports, and leisure sectors, with its headquarters in the heart of Hong Kong. At the helm is the accomplished Dr. Ken Chu, Chairman and CEO, who also serves with distinction as a National Committee Member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). Since its bold beginnings, the group has poured more than RMB 60 billion into Mainland China, creating spectacular destinations that stretch across the dynamic Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area and the fast rising Hainan Free Trade Zone.
The vision took root amid China’s exhilarating economic ascent. As early as 1994, the trailblazing founder Dr. David Chu electrified the National Political Consultative Conference by calling for the marketization and industrialization of sports. By 2002, he was igniting nationwide excitement for a vibrant new leisure industry, leading the way not just with ideas, but with decisive investment and transformative action.
Launched in 1992, Mission Hills Group harnessed the tide of reform and turned more than 20 square kilometers of desolate land between Shenzhen and Dongguan into the breathtaking Mission Hills Shenzhen. This groundbreaking achievement delivered the world’s only club to feature 12 championship golf courses, each crafted by legendary designers from five continents, uniting diverse styles into one unrivaled masterpiece.
From those fairways, the vision exploded into full scale integrated resorts alive with possibility: luxurious hotels and grand clubhouses, a premier public tennis center boasting multiple championship courts, the forward thinking Mission Hills Ecological Sports Center, expansive international convention venues, the lively MH Mall, elite international schools, stylish residential communities, internationally acclaimed spas, PGA golf academies, and pro shops, all weaving together an extraordinary lifestyle experience.
Mission Hills Shenzhen and Dongguan have been showered with global acclaim, earning the International Garden Community Gold Award (widely hailed as the “Green Oscar”), Asia Pacific Golf Resort of the Year from the prestigious IAGTO, National 5A Tourist Attraction designation, and pioneer status among China’s ecological tourism demonstration areas.
The momentum surged across the Qiongzhou Strait to Hainan, the dazzling “Hawaii of the East.” In Haikou, Mission Hills breathed new life into a stark volcanic rock landscape, giving rise to Mission Hills Haikou in perfect harmony with China’s strategy to position Hainan as a world class international tourism island. This vibrant destination masterfully blends elite sports and tournaments, health and wellness, rich culture, thrilling entertainment, dynamic commerce, MICE events, teambuilding adventures, and premium residences.
Standout attractions include 10 spectacular golf courses, the world’s largest volcanic mineral springs, China’s first FC Barcelona football academy and interactive museum, an international football training base, the country’s inaugural NBA Exhibit & Store alongside a basketball academy, luxury hotel icons such as The Ritz-Carlton, Renaissance, and Hard Rock, the enchanting Mission Hills Centreville, Wet’n’Wild Haikou water park, Hainan Overseas Chinese Middle School, and the cinematic spectacle of Mission Hills • Huayi Brothers • Feng Xiaogang Movie Town, cementing its status as an iconic provincial capital landmark.
Mission Hills Group remains fiercely dedicated to crafting world class leisure projects and forging a truly distinctive global leisure and tourism brand. By bridging China with the international stage through elite tournaments, trade, sports, and cultural exchanges, the group has proudly hosted over 100 international events in golf, tennis, snooker, and cycling. while welcoming global celebrities, staging APEC preparatory meetings, and presenting the Laureus World Sports Awards as one of China’s premier platforms for worldwide connection.
Milestones shine brightly: In 1995, Mission Hills staged the 41st World Cup of Golf, China’s first major global golf championship. In 2001, it welcomed Tiger Woods for his historic first visit to China, opening a thrilling new chapter for the sport. In 2007, an unprecedented deal secured consecutive World Cup of Golf editions at Mission Hills. From 2010, the signature World Celebrity Pro-Am became a must-attend spectacle. The group also delivered the World Ladies Championship in 2012 and 2013, the World Golf Championships HSBC Champions in 2012, and the unforgettable 2013 Match at Mission Hills pitting Tiger Woods against Rory McIlroy.
Beyond competition, Mission Hills has poured heart and resources into China’s sporting future. The group and Founding Chairman Dr. David Chu gave unwavering support to Beijing’s triumphant 2008 Olympic bid, the 2009 East Asian Games in Hong Kong, and the 2011 Shenzhen Universiade. For more than two decades, Mission Hills has sparked, backed, and participated in over 200 initiatives in sports, culture, education, and philanthropy, contributing more than RMB 500 million in donations. Far more than building dreams, Mission Hills has shared the seeds of success with communities nationwide and remains passionately committed to giving back for generations to come.
