Norman Course. Greg Norman built a reputation designing challenging golf courses wrought in the traditional stylings of his native Australian Sand Belt. His 7,228-yard offering at Mission Hills follows suit, as narrow fairways surrounded by long, native grasses and dense forest vegetation contribute to the layout's reputation as one of the most difficult courses in Asia. The front nine meanders through dramatic mountain ridges and hillsides, while the back nine lays gingerly in one of the property's many lush valleys.
