Tomson Shanghai Pudong Golf Club
Add A Review
The Tomson Shanghai Pudong Golf Club was established after the land on which it stands was purchased at a public bidding and, in all, the Tomson Group has invested over US$100 million in developing the golf course, the club house, the surrounding estate and the other facilities on offer at the club.
In 1993 Tomson Group commenced construction of an 18-hole championship golf course, and in 1997 after celebrating the opening, continued with the construction of the villas around the golf course.
The course designer, Shunsuke Kato, who is also chairman of the Japan Golf Association, says he has, in his design of the course, combined the ancient, traditional and the modern characteristics of a golf club from Britain, United States and Japan.
The par 72, 18-hole course is 7,340 yards long and covers 1.4 million square metres of land and has 7,200 yards of fairways covered with TIF419+rye grass.
Some 30,000 imported camphor, maple and various other precious seasonal trees line its fairways while 30,000 cubic metres of stone and rock, 2.5 million cubic metres of sand and 800,000 cubic metres of frigid meadow have been used to create the series of veined grass and flower-covered undulating hills running between its eight lakes and ponds.
