Sheshan International Golf Club
Shanghai's Crown Jewel - WGC Host Course
About the Club
Sheshan International Golf Club is located in Songjiang District, Shanghai, just 40 minutes from the city center. It is Shanghai's most prestigious private golf club, designed by Nelson & Haworth and opened in 2003. For 20 consecutive years, it has been ranked among China's best golf courses.
Sheshan is not only a symbol of golf in Shanghai but also an important milestone for Chinese golf on the world stage. From 2005 to 2013, the club hosted the WGC-HSBC Champions Tournament, welcoming world-class players including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Ernie Els. The course blends traditional Chinese architectural aesthetics with modern international golf concepts, featuring thousand-year-old ginkgo trees lining the fairways, natural quarry obstacles, and meticulously crafted water hazards.
The club's clubhouse complex features Renaissance-style architecture, offering facilities including an Italian restaurant, whiskey and cigar bar, spa center, and golf academy, providing exclusive and distinguished service experiences for members and guests.
