Double Pin Course – Hainan’s Most Creative Par 3 Golf Experience

For golfers visiting Hainan who want a fun, fast-paced, and truly unique round of golf, the Double Pin Course at Mission Hills Haikou is an experience like no other in China. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer, a beginner, or traveling with family, this 18-hole par 3 golf course offers a refreshing twist on the game, making it one of the most accessible and entertaining layouts in Asia.

A Course Built for All Skill Levels

The Double Pin Course features 18 par 3 holes, each with a distinct design element: two flagsticks per green. One pin location is designed to be more accessible—perfect for beginners and casual players—while the second pin is more strategically placed to challenge experienced and professional golfers.

This smart, flexible setup means players can tailor their experience depending on their mood, skill level, or available time. It’s ideal for:

• Families looking to enjoy a short round together
• Golfers warming up before a full 18-hole round
• Beginners building confidence
• Tour pros looking for a focused short-game challenge

Whether you’re visiting for golf tourism or just squeezing in a quick nine before dinner, Double Pin fits beautifully into any itinerary.

A Beautiful Setting in the Heart of Haikou

Set against Haikou’s clear blue skies and surrounded by the resort’s signature lava rock landscape, the Double Pin Course offers an arboretum-style layout filled with colorful trees, flowering plants, and stunning natural beauty. It’s a peaceful, walkable course with wide open views—ideal for relaxing golf with a touch of flair.

Designed by Brian Curley of Schmidt-Curley Design, the course complements the larger Mission Hills Haikou golf resort, which includes 10 other world-class layouts. Despite being a par 3 course, Double Pin holds its own with excellent design quality, visual drama, and a surprising variety of shots.

Short Course, Big Challenge

• Longest hole: 159 yards
• Shortest hole: 79 yards

Don’t let the shorter yardage fool you—tight pin placements, clever bunker positioning, and subtle green slopes make Double Pin a valuable test of precision and control. It’s a favorite among short game enthusiasts and a great choice for those looking to improve their iron play.
