The Stepping Stone course at Mission Hills, Haikou is a 2,176-yard, par-54 collection of 18 par-3 holes; the first of two par-3 layouts at the resort (the other is Double Pin). It is a true pitch and putt course, but with dramatic green complexes surrounded by lava rock and large expanses of sand.
The course plays through a series of small quarries, blending with the native surrounds of black rock and thick vegetation. Families and players of all levels, from beginners to tour pros, will find that Stepping Stone perfectly complements a round on one of the championship layouts, providing the chance to hone one's iron play and short game.
Mission Hills Haikou, home to no less than 10 golf courses, is one of the world's largest golf clubs (if not the largest). The courses range in size and stature from the highly-acclaimed Blackstone tournament and Lava Fields layouts, down to the more modestly-sized Stepping Stone and Double Pin executive courses.

Schmidt-Curley Design, and principally Brian Curley, laid out and built all ten layouts at Mission Hills Haikou on Hainan Island. The firm was also responsible for crafting ten of the 12 courses at the "World’s Largest Golf Club," namely the Mission Hills Golf Club in Guangdong province (formerly Canton). The 12 courses are spread between three closely grouped locations, midway between Shenzhen and Dongguan.
Co-founders of Schmidt-Curley, Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley, both worked alongside Pete Dye for several years. Recognition for their work includes consistently high rankings for many of their courses, and acknowledgement as one of the world’s “most influential” course design companies of the recent era.
