Development

The project started in 2008 with investments from four large Mongolian companies, including MCS Holding and Skytel (Mongolia). The architectural design was developed by GolfPlan USA. There are 5 sets of tees measuring 6,443 m (7,046 yd) from the back. In 2012, Mt.Bogd GC launched its testing operation. The course officially opened on June 22, 2013 and the Tourism Association of Mongolia hopes it will develop new types of tourism, namely golf tourism, in Mongolia.
