Marcello Country Club
Shanghai
China
27 holes / Par 108
Opened: 2007
Marcello Golf Club was built on a typical flat and muddy Shanghai site about an hour and a half southwest of the city.
In order to create interest for golfers and avoid the typical flat Shanghai golf course look, substantial earthworks took place to lower the lakes and elevate many parts of the site - about 15 metres of elevation change in all. The site was devoid of trees prior to construction and so many mature specimens were imported from around Shanghai to create a forest character for the course.
