Shadow Creek - Beijing

Situated in the fashionable Tianzhu Shunyi district of Beijing, which lies in close proximity to the airport, Shadow Creek was established by New World China Land Group as the main sporting ingredient of a prestigious residential project in 2008.

At the time, Nicklaus Design had been involved in over a dozen Chinese golf projects and either Jack or Jack Jnr had been cited as the architect of record. This was to be the first (and so far only) time that Steve Nicklaus was credited with a course design in China.

Golfscape Design International – a company that has worked closely with architects such as Gary Player, Arnold Palmer and Tom Wesikopf – constructed the course on the north bank of the Wenyu River, skilfully introducing creative contours onto the site of a river flood plain.
