china Tom Weiskopf, Seeing Red

Now that his 36-hole complex on Hainan Island (Dunes at Shenzhou Peninsula) is well under construction, Tom Weiskopf is lining up more work in the People’s Republic.

The Scottsdale, Arizona-based architect expects to break ground on a 36-hole complex outside Shanghai this summer, and he hopes to secure a project in South Korea sometime soon. He recently told China International Business that he’s discussing projects in China with “several other developers,” and he’s apparently become a convert to the Chinese faith in golf.

“Those who do not personally visit China to see first-hand how the game of golf is growing there,” he told CIB, “will have a difficult time comprehending what its potential could be over the next 10 years.”
