Kunming, the “City of Eternal Spring,” is the perfect start with its mild climate and a collection of championship courses that are destinations in their own right.
Kunming Spring City Golf & Lake Resort
A legendary name in Asian golf, this resort features two distinct and world-class 18-hole courses.
The Lake Course: Co-designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and Jack Nicklaus, this course is a masterpiece of strategic design. Winding around the shores of Yang Zong Hai lake, it demands precision and offers stunning water views on nearly every hole. It has consistently been ranked among the very best in Asia.
The Mountain Course: Designed by Nicklaus, the Mountain Course offers a different but equally thrilling challenge. Carved through native woodlands and rolling hills, it features dramatic elevation changes, rugged bunkering, and breathtaking panoramas. It’s a pure, rugged test of golf in a spectacular natural setting.
Kunming Dianchi Lakeview Golf Club
Host to multiple professional tournaments, this club boasts 27 holes of championship golf. Designed by the renowned golf course architect, Neil Haworth, it is set against the backdrop of the Western Hills and Dian Lake. The course is known for its impeccable conditioning, strategic bunkering, and challenging water hazards that come into play on several holes.
Lijiang
The journey leads you to a Guinness World Record destination in Lijiang, where you tee off in the shadow of one of Asia’s most sacred peaks.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Golf Club
Holding the record as the world’s longest course from the championship tees and sitting at an altitude of over 3,100 meters (10,000 feet), it is a true test of endurance and skill. The thin air means your ball will fly significantly farther — a unique “altitude advantage.” Most unforgettable, however, is the view: the snow-capped peak of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain provides a backdrop from virtually every hole that is simply unparalleled in the world of golf.
