Nanjing Zhongshan International (Mountain & Lake)

The Gary Player-designed course at Nanjing Zhongshan International Golf Club is laid out in three returning nines (named “Mountain,” “Lake” and “Valley”) with undulating fairways occupying a property that lies immediately next to Purple Mountain.

In its first year of operation, the club hosted the 2005 National China Games and several China Tour events have since been held here, including the Sofitel Golf Championship in 2007 and IGC Open in 2009.

More recently, 64 top junior golfers from 32 countries around the world teed it up at at this venue during the second edition of the Summer Youth Olympic Games in 2014, when Renato Paratore from Italy and Lee Soyoung from Korea won respective gold medals.
