Troon Golf has been selected to manage golf operations at Lion Lake Resort, located approximately 60 minutes northwest of Guangzhou, China.

The Lion Lake Resort, formerly called the Qingyuan Lion Lake Golf Club, is in the midst of a major renovation project. When fully completed, the development will feature two five-star resorts and convention centers, 36 holes of championship golf, yacht club, hot springs, cultural center, wine vineyards, and a high-end residential community.

The two 18-hole courses at Lion Lake were both designed by American golf course architect Rick Jacobson. The first course at Lion Lake will be open for play in August 2009 and the second 18 holes will debut in early summer of 2010. A new Southern California-style clubhouse is also scheduled for completion in late 2009. Covering an area of 160,000 square feet, the clubhouse will feature a golf shop, two restaurants specializing in Chinese and western cuisine, and a full-service spa.
