RMGA Awarded New Project Along South China Sea
In April of this year, Richard Mandell Golf Architecture was awarded the company's second golf course project in China. Located at the southern tip of Guandong Province, the site forms an edge of the shoreline of the South China Sea. In fact, the proposed eighteenth hole is a par five that will play along bluffs high above the Sea and actually over the water on approaches to the green.
