Stone Quarry – A Pete Dye-Inspired Golf Adventure in Haikou

Discover the thrilling challenge of Stone Quarry at Mission Hills Haikou, a golf course that pays tribute to legendary architect Pete Dye and the bold design elements that made him famous. Crafted by Brian Curley of Schmidt-Curley Design, this course delivers a rugged, sporty golf experience set against the dramatic backdrop of an ancient volcanic quarry.

If you’re searching for golf in Hainan or planning a golf trip to China, Stone Quarry offers a uniquely wild and memorable round that demands precision and creativity.

A Unique Quarry Setting Full of Character and Challenge

Stone Quarry stands apart with its distinctive features that echo the iconic Dye style, including:

• Railroad tie sleepers
• Abrupt mounds and moguls
• Long sandy waste bunkers
• Devilish small greens
• Railroad car bridges
• Steep rock walls and timber structures

The course winds through an ancient volcanic quarry rich with history. You’ll see authentic remnants from the past such as coal cars, old railroad tracks, and abandoned mining equipment, all adding to the immersive atmosphere.

Strategic Shot Making Over Power

Unlike many modern golf courses dominated by sheer length, Stone Quarry rewards golfers who can master shot shaping and creative play. The relatively narrow average fairway width of 38 yards and a large number of bunkers (215) create a sporty, technical challenge.

The smaller, challenging greens require precise approach shots and a solid short game. Stone Quarry is perfect for golfers looking to test their skills in a dramatic and unforgettable setting.

Visually Stunning and Architecturally Rich

The rugged volcanic quarry landscape forms a stunning natural amphitheater that enhances every hole’s drama. The course’s bold features and historic mining elements give it a unique personality that stands out in Hainan’s growing golf scene.
